Thank you everyone for some excellent swapping today.

Did anyone accidentally drop off this sweet rabbit? I found her in the fabric bag. Will return her or, if not claimed, will take her to a charity shop.

We’re here. We’re swapping. Come and join us.

A date for your diary - Sunday 30th November.

The first day of seems like an excellent time to announce the date of the next craft swap 🥳

I set up the craft swaps to reduce waste and the amount of crafty stuff that we buy. By bringing in the items you no longer need and taking (not buying) the things you do, you can contribute to an earth-friendly circular economy.

Sunday 30th November; 10.30am - 2.30pm at Green Earth Café

What happens to everything that’s left over?

An excellent question. Recently I’ve been looking for new homes for the craft supplies that have ended up in my spare room.

Bedford Borough Libraries have had paper for their holiday craft sessions and the wool has gone to a group who knit items for a hedgehog rescue in Flitwick.

Thank you to everyone who craft swaps. It’s so good to see unwanted craft supplies put to good use.
