I have the exakt same thought. Instead of everyone sending a frame along with the stitch (or other..) it's much simpler to each buy a frame for ourselves.DontCrossMe wrote: i don't plan on framing. it's not the cost that bothers me...it's the fact that i don't want anyone to get broken glass when i send it to them.

seriously. I've spent way more time trying to figure out what to make than I ever would for something for myself...techno-ninja wrote:After 5 hours last night spent agonising over what to make, i think i finally have a decent idea, now all i have to do is decide on how, when and with what!

I love Ikea too ♥ And yes, you can find frames with plexiglass, though I believe most frames come with glass (at least in the States). You'd probably have to go with a lesser quality frame if you'd want plexiglass instead of regular glass.Kipje wrote:but there are frames with plexiglas too, right?

And, I agree with the planning! It's so hard to decide what I'm going to do...so many ideas! I spent a large chunk of the weekend looking over different games and sprites, and contemplating what projects to make. This is a lot of fun though

Re: March Challenge! - Craft Swap!!
Johloh, are we sending our name with the item, or just leaving our name off and when the craft swap is done we reveal who everyone had?

I think we should send name with item...unless you prefer it to be a secret, I don't think it is a requirement.tnitnetny wrote:Johloh, are we sending our name with the item, or just leaving our name off and when the craft swap is done we reveal who everyone had?

Re: March Challenge! - Craft Swap!!
Yeah, I was wondering that too. I think I'd like to send my name with the projects, just so my person knows. Obviously we can talk about it afterward as well, and with pics!

Re: March Challenge! - Craft Swap!!
maybe when we send our projects we could send a little note or card and tell the recipient a little bit about us and why we chose to make whatever we made? just an idea.
