Olly Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 Know what you mean, it always looks so simple doesn't it! I always have a moment of 'what on earth was I thinking, this is for real crafters, not people like me!' ' but I know that I really appreciate receiving something that someone else has made and I won't be examining the construction. To everyone else out there, stop beating yourself up about 'is it good enough' - your swappee will just be thrilled to receive it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olly Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 Good luck with posting that one! My Pinterest board is littered with origami tutorials. Anyone can fold paper, surely? Apparently not .... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luvachicken Posted November 24, 2015 Author Share Posted November 24, 2015 I have that problem with most things Still, I am good at the one thing I can do so I hope my swappee likes what I make. I think a lot of it is about confidence and being shown how to do it properly in the first place. I did see a little course about crocheting snowflakes in our local library but you had to be able to crochet and they only seemed to do the courses during the day - I can only do courses at the weekend and school holidays - so I told them they should do it other times too but never heard anything back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 That's a pity - they should have had the decency to respond. I wanted to register for a card to trace my family history so I asked Basingstoke's registry office and they never answered either. I think I'll pop into Reading seeing as some of the ancestors lived there after Mortimer. Strange I should only live down the road from where they were! I would also be grateful for what I receive - knowing the loving care gone into it. I was trying to rush mine as I wanted it done before going in for an op. Not quite done yet though and I had the op yesterday!!! No way am I carving a melon! But doesn't it look fantastic when they finish!!! Carving not my strong point although I'm a whizz with a plane and file, hammer and nails. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
