Letter Collection/Ask a Question Post
Assignments have gone out! If you have not received yours, PLEASE let us know and we'll figure out what went wrong. Also, if you accidentally received two emails--ooops, sorry about that. We were just SOOO excited!
Anyway, if you haven't yet, please do respond to the email so we know you're still in.
Now on to the fun!
So, this post serves two purposes: to collect letters that you might want to write to give your crafter a little (or lot) more information about you and what you like. And also, to ask questions that you think we'd all need answers to as we start to create.
I'll comment below with my letter, so anyone not familiar with the letter concept can get ideas, and also start some questions that I encourage all of you to answer. Feel free to ask your own questions in a new thread. I'd also encourage you to come back to this post from time to time (even track comments maybe) as questions might continue to pop up, and one of them might be from your crafter who really wants to hear what you have to say.

SOOOO late to the party, but finally here! Here is my letter!
Colours - jewel tones are my fave - blues, greens, purples - you can't really go wrong.
Fandom - The last 10 years have been pretty heavily all things SGA and SG1; before that it was Buffy, The Pretender and classic Trek. The last year or so has been Harry Potter, no real idea why. I best I can tell, I am a Slytherpuff. I adore almost all things MCU.
Yarncraft: I crochet some; I know how to knit but do it badly. I love yarn crafts though; my dear friend made me a amigarumi loch ness monster a few years back and I ADORE it.
Jewlery - I probabaly have 30 bracelets because I keep making them. However, I am large, so tiny delicate things do not suit me. I prefer my bracelets loose and slidy (at least 8.5"), and necklaces at least 20". I generally do not wear earrings because I react to base metals, but I can get away with them for necklaces and bracelets since they aren't sitting in just one place all the time.
Papercrafts - notebooks, cards, all lovely. I have at least a half dozen notebooks. I have a weakness, I know this.
Random assortment of other things I like - cats. Aurora borealis. Mountains. Music. Patches with cool, snarky sayings on them. Mugs with the same. Interesting fabric. Dioramas of action figures.
Whoever is making a thing for me: whatever you are making, I just think it's really cool that you want to play along and make something unique for someone else. Thanks!
