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):
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 sew clothes, accessories, and quilts.
I bake (but can ship baked goods only to the Eastern USA).
I do fancy cut-out silhouettes (can be a person, plant, or whatever).

Are you willing to pinch hit if necessary?
Yes—but if I have to order a fandom-specific fabric it’ll take a week to arrive.

What about if shipping is paid for?
I can pay shipping.

If you participated in last round, who did you create for/who created for you?:
It’s my first year! I’m so excited.
