Signs up CLOSED for round 2!

Hello! Welcome to the Second Round of [community profile] homemade2homemade’s Geeky Gift Exchange! Please cut and paste the sign up form at the bottom into the comments of this post. We will not start matching participants until January 31st or until we get the max amount of participants for this round (30). Please do consider promoting the fest on your journals with this handy-dandy banner.



Key dates in 2019
Matching and assignments: on or before February 7th
Check in: by March 21st
Post by: May 7th (about 12 weeks of crafting time)

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!

It looks like I can't edit this again, and I should have added that I'm sensitive to mohair, even when it's a small percentage of a yarn.

Any allergies/postal restrictions/simple DNWs:
No meat, due to restrictions, and no nuts, due to allergies, please. Also, at the risk of fandom wank -- in the MCU I'm Team Cap, and this has actually affected my personal/offline life, so I thought I'd mention, as it should give a good idea of my likes and DNWs.

Are you willing to pinch hit if necessary? Only within the US.
What about if shipping is paid for? That would certainly help!

Name: TJ
Email: tjwritter@gmail.com
Things you Geek About:
Interests: writing, reading, travel
Hobbies: writing, crafting, cooking, baking, photography
Fandoms: Mary Poppins, The West Wing, X-Files, Miranda, Hamilton, White Collar (I'm only mentioning fandoms that don't have a lot of merch because I think its more fun to create/recieve something that would be truly one of a kind from obscure fandoms.) That being said, I'm also a sucker for HP (Go Gryffindor), Doctor Who (no Dalek stuff)11 is My Doxtor, Star Wars ♥ HAN ♥ and MCU (both the films and Netflix shows). Also, don't really need it to be fandomy if that's not your thing.
Favorite colors/flavors/motifs: love all blues, purples and most greens and love any combinations of those. Love anything with nuts, peanut butter, caramel, creamy anything, chocolate. Trying to get more adventures with fruit in things. I love the outdoors as a motif, trees, sky, oceans.
Any allergies/postal restrictions/simple DNWs: None that I can think of. I'm not a huge fan of floral scents, so I guess none of those.

What country do you live in? US
Are you willing to ship internationally? YES
What kind of crafter are you?/What are you willing to gift? I am an experimenter with an emphasis on recycled, reusable and renewable household objects.
Are you willing to pinch hit if necessary? yep

Things you Geek About (interests, hobbies, fandoms):
Fandoms: Star Trek, MCU & netflix (though I love comics Hawkeye more), legends of tomorrow, criminal minds, leverage, xena, due south, jonathon creek, highlander, the mummy films.....old british kids shows (like clangers, poddington peas)

Dinosaurs, animals and I love the colour purple and nature inspired things. I'm very crafty, but I'm not an uber fast knitter/crocheter yet!

Any allergies/postal restrictions/simple DNWs: No food or scented items please. Allergies to cobalt and nickel.

What country do you live in? UK

Are you willing to ship internationally? Yes

What kind of crafter are you?/What are you willing to gift? Sewing and felting - so bags, quilts or felted things.
While my workspace is the one pet free space in the house, there are dogs and cats, so it's pretty impossible to promise no pet hair will make it into anything I produce.

Are you willing to pinch hit if necessary? Yes, but might be limited by time.
What about if shipping is paid for? It would be nice, but not necessary.

Things you Geek About (interests, hobbies, fandoms):

Avengers: Tony Stark, Clint Barton are my two top favs. Followed by Bucky, Nat, and..er everyone else. But Ironman and Hawkeye are my main ones.

NASA: Everything NASA! Mars missions! Pictures of rocks that look unremarkable until you realise they're from someplace else! Vintage astronaut suits! Anything NASA is cool.

Football, hockey, softball! My teams are Dallas Cowboys, San Jose Sharks, and Oklahoma Sooners.

I also like having seasonal decorations for the apartment for the equinoxes, like small hanging quilts or table runner/place mats. (I need more summer-themed stuff!)

Hallowe'en: We never take our Hallowe'en stuff down, basically. Anything Hallowe'en themed is welcome, leaning more towards spooky, gothic, or steampunk style, and not gore or too silly. Skulls! Bats! Haunted-looking houses!

My favorite colors tend to be earth tones, greys and dark shades of color, and olive. Exceptions for Ironman and Hawkeye colored items!

Any allergies/postal restrictions/simple DNWs:

So many fragrance allergies. Anything from plants - grass, flowers, pollen, trees, etc, I will likely be allergic. I have never been able to tolerate handspun wool, because of the oils from the animals. I'm not allergic to machine-milled (and cleaned) wool, but I am very allergic to cashmere, alpaca, or angora. Bits of cat or dog hair in items is perfectly okay! If I can't smell it, I'm not allergic.

Food: no dairy, no sugar alcohols. Otherwise I'm up for almost anything edible!

I don't wear jewelry except for watches. Despite being a knitter and quilter/sewist, I always need more of everything. Fingerless gloves and quilted wall hangings and drawstring backpacks are the things we use a lot and seem to never have enough of. And hats. Why do we keep losing all our hats.

What country do you live in? United States
Are you willing to ship internationally? Yes, except for food (I don't want it to arrive stale.)
What kind of crafter are you?/What are you willing to gift?

I sew - simple tote bags, zippered pouches, small quilts (I make larger quilts but would never get one done in time!) I also bake - I can make cookies or brownies or similar and can work with some allergies (like dairy-free or using non-wheat flours.)

Are you willing to pinch hit if necessary? No
What about if shipping is paid for? No
If you participated in last round, who did you create for/who created for you?: N/A
monksandbones: A detail of a medieval manuscript illustration featuring two singing monks, one in a red cowl and one in a pink one (even more inappropriate monk love)

Name: monksandbones
Email: monksandbones (at) dreamwidth.org

Things you Geek About (interests, hobbies, fandoms): I geek about history (I have a PhD in medieval history), books, knitting, French and Latin, and apparently, these days, trees. I'm not really in any big media fandoms at the moment, but Louise Penny's Inspector Gamache mystery series, which I read this fall, has eaten my brain (Jean-Guy Beauvoir MY PERFECT PURE SON!!), and I'm also a fan of various other mystery series, most prominently among them Jean-François Parot's Nicolas Le Floch mysteries.

At various points I've been in the Stargate SG-1, Stargate Atlantis, Lord of the Rings, and BBC Sherlock fandoms, and I'm open to receiving crafts based on any of them, plus I'm a fan of the Vancouver Canucks hockey team. That said, I'm also fine receiving non-fandom crafts. I've also just moved into an apartment of my own after a long year and a half of having to move back in with my parents during a career-and-country transition, so if a little more guidance about what I'd like helps, I'm definitely up for receiving decor-type items of pretty much any description for my new apartment! Wall art? Knick knacks? Flower pots? Whatever else? All very yay!

Any allergies/postal restrictions/simple DNWs: No allergies, but mail coming into Canada can be a bit slow so food isn't a great idea unless it's reliably non-perishable. I'm also not into jewelry or makeup or bath stuff (with the specific exception of fancy soap, which I love), and as much as I love fancy journals, at this point I need to use some up before I collect any more.

What country do you live in? Canada

Are you willing to ship internationally? For sure!

What kind of crafter are you?/What are you willing to gift? I'm a knitter, and that's almost certainly what I'll be gifting, although some sort of paper craft or needlepoint/embroidery isn't totally out of the question.

Are you willing to pinch hit if necessary? Yes

What about if shipping is paid for? Depending on my finances this could be helpful, although I hope I'd be in a position to pay for it myself.

If you participated in last round, who did you create for/who created for you?: I created for [personal profile] shaddyr and received crafts from [personal profile] shaddyr, [personal profile] tjs_whatnot, and [profile] redsnake5!

Email: darchildre@gmail.com
Things you Geek About (interests, hobbies, fandoms):

- Fandoms: Right now, I am really into Critical Role, Campaign: Skyjacks, and Friends at the Time (particularly the Counter/weight season). Perennial fandoms are DC comics (Flash family and the New Gods in particular) and Universal monster movies (Dracula and Frankenstein/Bride are my major interests there).

- Hobbies: I knit a lot and spindle spin a lot. I am a very amateur birder. I play a lot of D&D.

- Interests: I love spooky things in general, birds (especially corvids), Norse myth, fairy tales, robots, monsters, stars and space stuff, unicorns, autumn, and sparkles. My favorite colors are sapphire blue, olive green, and silver.

Any allergies/postal restrictions/simple DNWs: I have no allergies. Craft items that are purely aesthetic are super cool but not really my thing - I would prefer to receive something usable/wearable/functional.

What country do you live in? US

Are you willing to ship internationally? Yes

What kind of crafter are you?/What are you willing to gift? I knit, spin, and crochet - knitting is my primary craft. Socks and gloves/mittens are my favorite things to knit.

Are you willing to pinch hit if necessary? Maybe, but I'm kinda slow, so it would depend on the time needed.

What about if shipping is paid for? Doesn't matter

If you participated in last round, who did you create for/who created for you?: This is my first time!

Cross stitch, embroidery and quilting/sewing. (No clothing.) Handmade postcards - may be fabric, collage, who knows? Maybe some mixed fiber arts.
