Accomplished over the last, er... :checks the last time she updated: two months!

* Made a long skirt! Discovered that I'd made the waist too loose. Still working on fixing that part.

* Helped make Renaissance-style pantalons for wife (and cut out same for myself).

* Redyed a sad brown shirt to green. ...it came out kinda olive, but still, better than the sad brown it was before. (The reason for all the sewing: we've an SCA camping event coming up in a week or two, and need enough garb for it. Whee!)

Currently 12K into my Novel November, which is a good 3K behind where I 'should' be, but oh well. I'll do the best I can, and either way, it's more than I had before. (Original fic, cosy fantasy romance, taking the prompts 'shapeshifters' and 'protector/protected' and running with them.)

Extensions/Defaulting: Pre-research your post office/courier service hours, and plan to send as early as you can! BUT if your best-laid plans fail, and you need an extension -- we get it! Please bypass the shame spiral and email us ASAP. We want to know what's going on but rarely hesitate to grant brief extensions, especially to historically reliable swappers.

And, of course, if you need to default for any reason, the above is doubly true!! Life happens, but if you let us know as soon as it does, we can help out your recipient AND probably have you back next year with minimal anxiety.


One More Time: don't forget to check in at Swaps Central! And a safe, merry Swapstide to all!

Current FAQ and very old resources post here, for anyone who needs them. Questions and comments here or via email, as always.
