homemade2homemadeAs of February 9th noon est, sign ups are now closed.
Comments have been turned off.
Sign ups are open!
Please copy and paste the text from the box below into a comment.
But first, a little explanation on what we need in the sign ups and why. First and foremost, the sign ups are mostly for us to find the best matches we can with what people want to receive and want to offer. Please be as specific as you can in your request. Gifters, if you need more info, please come to us (homemade2homemademod@gmail.com) and we’ll be your go between.
Name: We don’t need your real name right now. We'll ask for that when we get your address for your crafter.
Email: PLEASE make sure it’s one that you check regularly. There are a few times throughout the fest that we will need to get a hold of you via email.
Things you geek about: We need to know what fandoms, hobbies and interests make you happy. Please be specific as you can, from favorite color, favorite character, favorite song, etc etc...You don’t want a Gryffindor scarf if you’re in Slytherin now do you? Or let's say you put that one of your interests is horses, but you are terrified of unicorns, you wouldn’t want any of those showing up on an embroidered thing, would you? Also, if you don’t want fandom related things, or only want fandom related things, let us know that too. Same goes for interests and hobbies.
Any allergies/postal restrictions/simple DNWs: Allergies--we need to know all the things you can’t have from food allergies to scents and fibers. Postal restrictions--are there things your country won’t let be sent through the mail? Sometimes this differs if the packages are sent internationally or within the same country. Simple Do Not Wants--This is the place to put things you just don’t like, crafts you really don’t want to receive. Not into baked goods? Don’t want to receive the same type of craft that you make? This is the place to tell us.
What kind of crafter are you? What are you willing to gift? Are you a potter or a woodworker? A knitter or a candymaker? Do you dabble in a bunch of things? Are the things connected by medium? If so, are there things you DON’T do? Do you not want to do fandom specific things? Only want to do fandom specific things?
What country do you live in? and Are you willing to ship internationally? These two go together. If you live outside the USA, and can't ship internationally for whatever reason, we might still be able to match you. There were at least two participants from every country represented last year. Get in touch with the mods to talk more. This year, we need everyone to track their parcels, thanks!

Things you Geek About (interests, hobbies, fandoms):
Right now I'm hovering inbetween fandoms, but Clint Barton (Hawkeye) still brings me much joy (and ClintCoulson). And Natasha! MCU in many flavors, except for all the stupid writing in Endgame which I pretend was just a bad run of comics and ignore it. Tony Stark and Winter Soldier are probably by second favorites, though I am also very fond of Eddie and Venom because how could you not love those two dorkloser weirdos?
I am also very into watching sports. My teams are Dallas Cowboys, San Jose Sharks, and Oklahoma Sooners. I live in Oregon Ducks territory and while I am slowly accepting the inevitable, I am not willing to admit it in public just yet. *cough*
I also love sharks in general, and octopuses. I love steampunk aesthetic.
I tend to prefer things that are practical or useable, or which are decorative in a way that don't need a huge flat surface to display (as we don't have much free space.) Wall hangings are tricky in that we can't put holes in our walls and have to use those sticky command hook things, so not too heavy.
Lastly, because of my allergies and our high humidity/mold environment, I have to be able to dust it or wash it, or something appropriate for the item. If that makes sense? I don't need zero dust, but if I can dust or wash it, or put it away inbetween using/looking at it (like a junk journal), that would be best.
Any allergies/postal restrictions/simple DNWs:
I have some food allergies and restrictions so it would be easiest to not send food.
I am allergic to perfumes, fragrances, except for those which smell like food (cinnamon and vanilla are fine, for example. Flowers and pine absolutely not.)
I don't wear jewelry so wouldn't have a use for it.
I am allergic to many kinds of yarn as well, so if you are a fiber artist please use machine milled and cleaned superwash wool or wool/acrylic blend. No cashmere, alpaca, mohair. No wool with animal oils still in it.
I am fine with small amounts of cat or dog hair if your furbaby wants to help! Please no smoke, though.
What country do you live in?
United States
Are you willing to ship internationally?
Canada or Mexico only
What kind of crafter are you?/What are you willing to gift?
For this year I will only be offering to quilt - a small wall hanging/table topper, or lap quilt.
Are you willing to pinch hit if necessary?
Cannot, sorry.
What about if shipping is paid for?
No, it's the time crunch not money.
If you participated in last round, who did you create for/who created for you?:
I made a quilt for killing_rose and received a wall hanging from laridian

Things you Geek About (interests, hobbies, fandoms):
I love many things Japanese—kimono, cherry trees, Japanese gardens, tea, sushi, koi, temples, go, geisha, etc.
I’m a huge plant nerd and gardener. I especially love roses, formal gardens, Japanese gardens and orchids. I built an 800-gallon goldfish and koi pond. My house is full of houseplants and plant pictures. I collect gardening books and read them cover-to-cover.
I love Sailor Moon and anything by CLAMP. I like cute themed notebooks, notepads, stickers, keychains, magnets and such (useful things).
My favorite colors are purple and blue.
I have three cats—two black and one black-and-white. One of them is crazy and possibly a future world dictator.
I wear a lot of fuzzy socks, slippers, wrist warmers, and lace shawls/scarfs.
I don’t own any teapot cozies. Why is that? I drink so much tea.
I like fantasy (dragons! magic!) and renaissance fairs. I also like steampunk and historical costuming—particularly Victorian/Edwardian era; I sew my own costumes.
I don’t wear jewelry but have long curly hair and could totally use some fancy hair accessories.
Any allergies/postal restrictions/simple DNWs:
I am lactose intolerant, so nothing with butter or milk; I also don’t eat lard. I’m a loose vegetarian (leather and gelatin OK).
Fiber-wise I’m fairly picky about the “scratchy-ness” of a fabric or yarn. When I knit or buy clothes for myself I prefer very soft natural fibers.
What country do you live in?
USA
Are you willing to ship internationally?
Sure
What kind of crafter are you?/What are you willing to gift?

I can pay shipping.

Things you Geek About (interests, hobbies, fandoms): I like nature, cats, birds, hedgehogs, books, typography, tarot, urban planning, cooking, and board games (especially Race for the Galaxy and Terraforming Mars). If it's wool, I'll wear it--I never have too many scarves, shawls, hats, or socks. Jewelry is also great, although I have super short hair, so no hair adornments please. I go to Renn Faires and conventions regularly, so over-the-top costumey stuff will get used. I theoretically like the aesthetic of journals, but I hate writing longhand, so a blank book isn't likely to get any use--on the other hand, if you want to bind fanfic or collections of poetry, quotes, or recipes, that could be fun, and I could use a portfolio that holds loose papers. Housewares in general would also be welcome, whether pillows or pottery or an afghan.
Fannishly I'm mostly into science fiction and fantasy books, with particular interests these days including Dragaera, Erin Bow's books, Michelle West's books, Octavia Butler's books, Queen's Thief, Rosemary Sutcliff's books, and Terra Ignota. (Anything I give four or five stars to on Goodreads is a good bet.) I'm also a steady fan of Avatar: The Last Airbender and Korra and enthusiastic about Sleep No More.
My favorite colors are purple, green, and teal in any saturation from pastel to jewel tones. Black and white or earth-tone stuff is also great; I sometimes secretly aspire to a mori girl aesthetic. When it comes to metal I'm more likely to wear silver or copper than gold.
Any allergies/postal restrictions/simple DNWs: I have a mail theft problem. Please make sure anything you send is sent with tracking, and contact me before sending it so I can either arrange for someone to be there to receive it or figure out an alternative location beside my house to which it can be sent.
What country do you live in? USA
Are you willing to ship internationally? Yes
What kind of crafter are you?/What are you willing to gift? I make beaded jewelry and small objects (examples: napkin rings, tiny Christmas stocking, neck pouch, bracelet).
Are you willing to pinch hit if necessary? No.
What about if shipping is paid for? No, it's a time concern. (I might be willing to subsidize someone else's pinch hit shipping if that's useful.)
If you participated in last round, who did you create for/who created for you?: It's my first time!

Things you Geek About (interests, hobbies, fandoms):I love historical fiction (especially Georgette Heyer), historical RPF and history and mythology (especially ancient history and mythology, like Sumerian mythology and so on). I also love Diana Wynne Jones's Howl series and Chrestomanci series, and Discworld and Ngaio Marsh's Inspector Alleyn series, and also Harry Potter. I am keen on Science in general, particularly Physics, and love baking and cooking.
I like bold colours, particularly black, red and blue, and my personal style is pretty maximalist. I wear a lot of jewellery (big earrings, brooches and rings, big short necklaces - nothing delicate), love chunky handknits and socks, and have recently acquired a lot more wall space for things that hang or need display. I drink a lot of tea.
Any allergies/postal restrictions/simple DNWs: No allergies. I live in NZ, so any food, plant or animal products need to be commercially packaged (if you made your own tea blend, it would have to be sealed in a cellophane package, for example). Wool, leather, felt and other processed things are fine, it's just raw/unprocessed things that are a bit tricky.
What country do you live in? New Zealand
Are you willing to ship internationally? Yes
What kind of crafter are you?/What are you willing to gift? A non-exhaustive list: sewing (bags, aprons, clothes, simple quilts), embroidery, knitting (big chunky things), laser cutting (wood, leather, felt and perspex), concrete, resin, woodworking. I am especially keen to make homewares and practical items.
Are you willing to pinch hit if necessary? Yes

Things you Geek About (interests, hobbies, fandoms):
Interests: Travel (hoping to go to Italy and Spain in the next year or two), reading (literary, YA, children's), hiking (just starting back into this), nature, activism (though I don't get to participate as much as I'd like). My favorite colors are purple, blue and green.
Hobbies: Writing, crafting, cooking and baking.
Fandoms: While I have a lot of big, well known and easy to procure trinkets from fandoms (Harry Potter, Star Wars, MCU) I really like when people create for me something from a smaller fandom that makes me feel like I'm truly the only one who owns these things. Who else has a White Collar bag? Who has a crocheted "Gordon the Fruit Friend" from Miranda? A tea-towel with Mary Poppins umbrellas hand stamped on it? Me, that's who. My small fandoms include (but are not limited to) Miranda, White Collar, Mary Poppins, The Outsiders (book and film), Grapes of Wrath (book and film), To Kill a Mockingbird (book, film and sequel), Smoke Signals (really anything Sherman Alexie), The West Wing (or really anything SorkinTV), Northern Exposure, M*A*S*H, River Phoenix entire body of work, and also Katharine Hepburn's.
