Would you like any of the following?   (Maybe just remove the things you aren't interested in?):

• Catnip (organic, from our property.  Dried in our dehydrator.)

I grow my own

 

• Canned food items
  • Thick Huckleberry Syrup (or thin huckleberry jam -- it was kind of a fail for how thick/thin it is, but still tasty.  Has sugar.)
  • Bluebarb jam (blueberry/rhubarb)  (has sugar.)
  • Blackberry, Raspberry, or Strawberry Jam  (they have sugar)
  • Possibly peach or plum jam or butter (we can probably make it without ingredients you can't have -  if allergies)

Any of those sound great!

 

• Apple Crips (dried apples with nothing added, not sure what kind of apples we'll do this year.  Usually honeycrisp.)
• Mugwort smudge wand (some with lavender)  (all organic, from our property.)
• Dried lavender I can do sachets or just some in a mesh baggie.  Sadly our lavender is too dry right now to do wands.
• Rose petal beads (if I manage to make enough, I'm gathering rose petals right now.)  I'll probably put them on a string unless I have time/energy for more.
• Thunder Butter?  (like icy hot but made with herbs, beeswax, menthol, wintergreen, cayenne.  Spot test so it doesn't burn your skin.)
• Rose Petal liqueur sample (has sugar.)
• Lavender Vanilla Bean liqueur sample (has sugar.)
• Mead sample (flavor depends on what kind of mead my son has made lately.  Can make it dry, semi-sweet, or sweet to your preference.)

 

I'm making my own rose beads, and I grow my own lavender, but any of the rest of those sound amazing

 

 

Would you like me to knit you a hat, shawlette, cowl, or fingerless mitts?  I can do colorwork hats or cowls with skulls, bats, pumpkins, ghosts...  

• Yarn preference?  (merino wool, merino cashmere, merino silk, merino silk cashmere, acrylic, sparkles or no sparkles, etc.

 

I don't wear shawls, and for hats - I'd love a stocking cap. Fingerless mitts, yes!

 

 

How about a soap bag (knitted), washcloths, or tarot card bag?  (washcloths will be cotton.  soap bags will probably be either cotton or non-superwash wool so they shrink around the soap.  Tarot will be silk - I have limited colors in silk.)

• I can do the BPAL Brimstone logo, bats, skulls, cats, jack o lanterns, whatever on washcloths.  

 

A tarot bag sounds fun

 

Or maybe a gknitted Gnome?  Or bat?  Ghost?  Black Cat?  Voodoo doll?  Monster?  Or something else spooky?  I have lots of patterns.  Here is an example I did for the Gnome swap.

 

Yes!

 

 

If you want any knitted things -- color preferences?    I can do stripy mitts, cowls, or hats.  Solid or gradient color shawlettes, cowls, mitts, hats.   Colorwork hats or cowls (base color plus whatever color for your skull, ghost, bat, jack o lantern, spider, witch hat, moon, cat, or whatnot.)  Solid one color for soap bag, washcloths, or tarot bag.  (I think I only have purple silk for the tarot bag.)  Pick three or four colors for Gnomes (one of those colors will be their beard, I usually use white.)

 

A cowl or shrug for preference

 

 

My mom has an etsy shop with project bags for knitting/crochet or what ever you want to use them for.  We could also make tote type bags, flat zipper cosmetic type bags, or boxy bags/dice bags.  Are you interested in this type of item?  I have all kinds of spooky fabric that isn't currently up on the shop if you look through the sold items.  https://twinklentwilight.etsy.com 

 

They're all cute. A project or cosmetic bag would be fun in a bat/cat/moon sort of print. The dark chandelier s good, too.

Would you be interested in dangle earrings or pendants made of dried roses (and other beads)?

Haus of Gloi's first fall collection has dropped - anything you like?

Sorbetto's in any of the following:

Nightwalker (if sorbetto comes available)

Pokeberry Jam

 

How do you feel about CBD as an ingredient in something? Like a pain relief lotion or lip balm?

 

I've never tried it. Pain relief lotion, maybe?

 

 

I'm getting into bookbinding! Is there a fanfic/book (I can try to get the text block in paperback and rebind it)/out-of-copyright book that you want hardbound all fancy?

 

Just a blank book would be fine. Or Jeanne Rose's Herbal Body or Modern Herbal

Caramel hot chocolate

'm going to the MD ren faire this weekend - anything you like from faires? It's a large one with very strictly juried vending so  think higher quality goods ‐ teas, soaps, scents, arts, prints, etc.

 

I love ren faire stuff.  I don't really use bar soap, but the rest is good.

 

Favorite medieval or renaissance or fantasy creatures or imagery or legends?

 

Oh, all kinds. Dragons, of course. But most medieval imagery is fun.

 

Hey Swapee, you said you like gummy candy.  Have you ever had  the real deal Middle Eastern candy that " invented" gummy candy?  Made with real fruits & nuts & sooooo good.  I have a fabulous Middle Eastern grocery near where I work that has more than 20 flavors. 

Would you like a box?

 

I am not a fan of turkish delight. Halva, on the other hand, is something I adore.

 

Pumpkin Spice?

 

I don't do candles, wax melts, or anything bath specific (no bathtub) but I do enjoy Pumpkin Spice most other things!

 

Vivziepop?

 

Stickers! I'm a fan of most of the die cut stickers I've come across
