RE: Christmas Skillz

[arinellen]

For all of those who are friends with bloodied_aura you would have seen this post.

Basically the idea is, you are broke/cheap/a student, so am I! But we have skillz, using these we can create some sweet little gifts that are totally worth more than an X-Box 360 game.

So I just want to offer my skills for Christmas gifts this year.

They are:

I can comment from twitter? Bizarre

I'm totally up for this but be warned I can't really think of anything creative that I'm good at that you'd like so I'll probably end up talking to Kat and getting her to suggest something from the internet that I'll end up getting you!

(1) Some photo stuff sounds good, we have none in our house at all. Maybe of Kat and I? idk, I'm not a photography wizard and am happy to be surprised!
(2) I don't think think this has changed since high school, not sure if that is good or not
(3) welp. Uhm. I'm basically going to jump onto this bandwagon and utilise my skills of exchanging currency for goods and services if that is okay
(4) If there is some sort of new years/christmas thing vaguely planned that is good but post is fine as well, let me know!

I was going to DM you but it was too many words:

Kat has good taste!

Okay, for the photos we should actually organise a thing since I don't have that many of you and Kat together. If that's a bit too weird I might try and catch you out at the next 'thing' but I'm not sure when that is (and if it's not a bit before Christmas I will be screwed :P).
OR (^_^) I can wait and see if others want portraits too and we can organise a group session.

(4) < This will be organised I just don't know whether Walker House will be up and running with furniture for a Christmas party. I should make a post about whose house we want it at.

Do you prefer framing or clips like these: http://www.designspongeonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/4_anne.jpg

(More or bigger prints for the clip frames because they are cheaper).

Whoo!

This is really cool and is an excellent excuse to do more fun, crafty stuff this Christmas :) I am in.

(1) Photo stuff is cool, like I would love some kind of photo/typography thing that you mentioned on Ghan's post.

(2) Mint green, light blue, yellow, orange!

(3) Things I can offer:

I can sew a skirt/dress or bag/purse; or other crafty things, like a pillow/POUF (like http://bit.ly/eGIdVA), or an owl (http://bit.ly/gTGJPt); or I can write a short song and make a music video to go with it (will almost definitely feature a ukulele). It's up to you if you want me to make something specific or write something for you myself!

(4) Either of those things is fine!

Yeah!

[arinellen]

Man, I would totally take a skirt! I would feel guilty about the fabric cost/time if it was a dress. Let me know what measurements to need. ^_^ (If the stuff is more than $20/whatever I don't mind supplementing the monies).

> Oh, oh, oh. I have the best plan for typography stuff. I might run some stuff past you before I print it up.

Hell yeah. :coolbert:

Re: Yeah!

[jafren]

Cool! I have a pattern that I've been dying to try out, so that's awesome.

Waist + hip + desired length* (if you have a preference for that) please :)

Also let me know if you have preferences for solid colour or pattern, or any colours you'd like! Yesssssss, fabric shopping rules :D

I am so excited: Ghan had the bestest idea.

[arinellen]

Waist: 28.5"
Hip: 37" (taken ~6" below the waist)
Bum: 42" (taken 5" below the hip)
(If that's too hard because I am funnily sized (i.e. waist much smaller than bum) let me know.)

I love big prints (because small prints make people look bigger) Or like... basically any colour. I suppose red and grey suit my current clothing atm.

This is the best. I am so excited.

Would you like a frame, or would you prefer things hung like this: http://www.designspongeonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/4_anne.jpg

[patternsofchaos]

1. I would totally love a couple of prints if that's ok (I will trade no frame for extra photo/s?) I have a shortlist that I will try to cut down :P

2. Uhh....depends what you need this info for

3. I think the only thing I can offer is basically cooking you amazingly delicious food of your choice. Or if you see something online you like I can buy it for you, but to get into the spirit of things you should ask me to cook you something :P

4. Obviously this means we should meet to do the exchanging, because posted food is a bad idea (sometimes).

[arinellen]

Do you want me to seek out clips like this to hang the images:http://www.designspongeonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/4_anne.jpg

Or would you just prefer to hang them yourself?

[patternsofchaos]

I was thinking much smaller, like 2-4 8x12ish inch photos that I would frame and hang as a set?

[arinellen]

Okay, sweet, now I have to think of a delicious food you can cook me ~$20.
