pampering swap--Kaylene is up

i would love to knit you a pair of simple fingerless mitts. I have a pretty superwash merino sport weight heathered but relatively solid blue that seems suitable to your etsy favorites but is a simpler color than some of yours listed. I am also willing to offer either an apple cozy, a water bottle carrier, or a playfood set of cocoa and cookies. (one of these three choices would be along with the fingerless mitts.

Plus either some homemade marshmallows (vanilla or peppermint) or 2 bars of soaps from Country Soaps by Marlene (surprise scents from my stash).

My offer is a crochet earwarmer and one muppet glasses holder and two bars WAHM soap. The earwarmer would be in the color of your choice. These are the glasses holders, whichever character you like. http://www.craftster.org/forum/index.php?topic=180192.0
I think I have lemongrass, lavendar and eucaliptus soap but I'd have to double check the choices. It would most likely not ship before christmas.

I'm Janine. I have 4 kids (boy 12, girl 9, girl 7 and boy 5). We home school. My kids love to do art projects and craft kits. My girls love horses and American girl dolls. They like pretty things like jewelry and hair pretties. They wear sizes 6 and 8. My oldest boy loves robots and science. My youngest likes cowboys and toy guns.

Etsy favorites ~ http://www.etsy.com/people/mommajnine/favorites?ref=favorites Many of these are sold out, so it's more of an idea list of my tastes.

I like to sew. I collect and hoard fabric. I like the popular woven prints (see etsy faves for examples), knit prints (not babyish), dyed obv, and solid colored knit fabrics (running low on these).

I also like to knit. Knitting socks are my favorite, though I do make other things occasionally. I have the wooden knit picks sock dpn's, but would like to try others (not size 2.25). Yarn is always good. I haven't had any stripey yarn for a while. I would like a fabric covered 3 inch binder to keep my printed patterns in. A swift is on my big wish list.

I like fall or rich colors. Pink and green. Red with Turquoise.

My favorite soap, lotion and candle scents are chocolate amber, pink sugar and peppermint (soap only).

I have developed a love for fresh roasted coffee beans through swapping on HC. Dark chocolate with stuff in it is delicious, so are chocolate covered coffee beans. I love gum and can't drive without it.

I like necklaces that are on the simpler side (18 inches or longer).

We got a china cabinet on free cycle a couple weeks ago, but have nothing to put in it after Christmas is over.

I'm open to things that aren't on my list too.

my offer is 2 lbs of roasted coffee (ground) one is Butter Cookie, and the other is Heavenly Delight (kind of a coconut, chocolate, vanilla flavor) roasted by my favorite roaster who has now gone out of business. I also have a lb of Chocolate Raspberry, but its ground finely if you would like that one too

Jonita, Becky and Jenny, thank you for your wonderful offers! I love all of them. Please feel free to offer them again. Wink

I'm going to pick Becky. I have really been wanting more stripey sock yarn. I've never had trim for the heels and toes before. I'm looking forward to knitting this yarn into socks.

Thanks!!!

I like handmade items so feel free to try me on anything you make. Maren loves sharks and snakes and Stiles loves whales, cars, and astronomy. We all love to read. I love my kindle (well except for the fact that it keeps breaking on me)
Items from or inspired by
http://www.etsy.com/people/Beckyspapercreations/favorites?ref=si_fav
http://www.theloopyewe.com/wishlist/
I don't like pink, yellow or pastels. I love vibrant colors, earthy and jewel tones.
We also need wahm soap. It must be dairy egg, peanut, and nut free (it can have almonds, shea, and coconut)
Shirts for me (size L)
ov lounge pants for me (size L)
I need blocking wires and would love some of the new hiya hiya sharps. the tips for the circs in size 2's and 3's and fixed at least 24" no more than 40" in 0, 1, 1 1/2, some extra cables wouldn't be turned down.
I pretty much only use solids, semi-solids, and striping fingering and sport weight yarn. You can try me on one of those.
I would love some book making supplies, like:
word ribbons from here http://www.etsy.com/shop/baumcat (somebody had her make me some custom Jane Austen ones that I loved)
ribbons and tapes like the ones in my etsy favorites
instruction kits like this http://www.etsy.com/listing/58813328/caterpillar-centipede-stitch-and-drum
books in sheets like this http://volcanoarts.com/booksinsheets/index.htm
papers for journal covers like these http://www.phoenixartsupply.com/index.cfm
appliqued or embroidered fabric for journal covers (they do need to have at least a 1" border and no larger than 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" design area)
I like chocolate (local to you and European are my favorites) and caramels.
I love to read the classics and love packages themed around a classic book..
Nice shirts for me size L
Amazon.com gift card, paper zone gift card
colorwork top down sock patterns, geometric or floral.
bath salts, bubble baths, fizzies (dairy, egg, nuts, and peanuts free)
Everybody in my family loves to read so books for all of us would be great.
Stiles could use some beginning chapter books.
Maren wants the Trixie Belden series (she has the first 3) and just about everything else.
I get most of mine for free on the Kindle.
I did just think of another thing for me
http://www.amazon.com/Persuasion-Amanda-Root/dp/B00003JRCQ/ref=wl_it_dp_o_npd?ie=UTF8&coliid=I39TL0LRX1O60R&colid=Q10IAQ5XPCC3

I know I am forgetting a million things so feel free to stalk my posts and find my other lists and try me. I often don't know I want it until I see it.
Feel free to try me with things you make.
I am actually kind of in the necklace moon again and possibly some cool vinyl wall art.
Possibly a larger knitting bag I could throw a book and a couple of projects in with long handles. That I can wear over my shoulder.
pottery bread bakers or small serving bowls, even a larger bowl

a pampering surprise type package for me

Spinning services --I have a gift certificate to http://www.twistedfiberart.com I would love a braid or two (provided by me) spun into sport weight, keeping the striping pattern. (if you offer spinning services please include a picture of yarn you have spun).

Try me on anything except
coffee
tea
candles
peanuts
pistachios
and project bags (I love them, but have a few too many)
My pack pages are public.

I don't have anything to offer that you want, but I had to say that the snowman self patterning sock yarn on your etsy faves is one of the coolest things I've ever seen! I didn't know they made yarn that could do that.
