S P R I N G

I've made a litle change ... as there are only 2 people in this swap...maybe with less partners will be easier... Let's try!

Is the change listed? I am not seeing a change.

I would be interested in joining but making 9 flowers is just a bit too much for me right now - if you change it to 2 partners at 2 or 3 flowers each, I might reconsider...

OK! Let's make another change...

Send flowers to each of two partners. Send the flowers you can, the size you wish. Bare this in mind...send something you would like to receive.

Hope this pleases everyone!

I have joined but how many flowers each? 2 or 3? Thx.

It's up to you! As making 18 flowers was too much for some, instead of defining a number of flowers to make, you decide that, because you're the ones who know better than me how many you're able to make and send to each partner. But please don't send only one, because I'm sure you wouldn't like to receive only one either. OK, let's define a MINIMUM of two flowers per partner. If you want and can make and send more than two, that's up to you.

Perfect - thanks.

Hey everybody! I've made some changes to this swap...again... Maybe you'll need more time to prepare it, and I'm looking for some sites with some ideas to help you with the swap. As soon as I find them, I'll post them here.

Here's one: http://www.julianapintodacosta.blogspot.com/ It has lots of things, also flowers.

Here's another one: http://www.marisatricotecrochet.blogspot.com/ This one is about crochet, but deals with other handmade things. It's worth visiting.

The last site and this one: http://www.scrapbookbrasil.com/resources/ Are in portuguese...but you can check the photos, they help a bit.

This one is also in portuguese: http://eraumavezomundoaocontrario.blogspot.com/ If you look in the part that says: "Baú de Memórias", it has several dates, it's the archives, you'll find some flowers there.

This one is brazilian: http://www.papaiurso.com.br/esc_flor.htm But it explains through photos too.

And I also found this one: http://chocolateachuva.blogspot.com/ It's portuguese, but has translation in english.

And Tassy also helped us:

http://www.craftideas.info/ Tassy, I tried this one, but had to go with the main page, because the craft no longer exists.

Thanks Tassy!

You can always Search in Multiply (http://multiply.com) for flowers...you'll come up with lots of things

Use the words: FLOWERS or FLORES or FLEURS

http://beauty-flowers.blogspot.com/ http://coisas-de-mulheres.blogspot.com/

These ones are also portuguese, but give you lots of ideas for handmade flowers.

So what you are saying with your changes is send 2 partners at least 2 flowers each for a total of 4 flowers. If that is so I would be glad to sign up.

Hi! The minimum number of flowers to send is two, but has I said, if you cand make and send more, that's up to you.

sandramatos, thank you very much for the lovely crocheted flowers - I am looking forward to finding special ways to use them! T.

Hi Tassy! I'm glad you liked the flowers! Sandra

Jamie & Ga-Mema, your swaps will be in the mail tomorrow - please be patient as mail takes a long time from Canada. Thx! T.

I'm sending out my flowers tomorrow! Thanks for your patience!

Sandra~Thanks so much for the beautiful flowers! They will go on some very cute hats and pins!

Tassy~The fabric flowers are so creative! I never would have thought of such a thing! Thanks so much!
