MsLuker's Swap Answers

Wolfenoot 2022 Swap Answers

Lilliths and Weenies - let's see...I'm interested in Oct. 32nd, Apple Macchiato, The Wind Strike Chill and Cold, Torta Setteveli, Bobbing for Zombies, Dead Leaves and Horchata, Lightning Strikes Cinema, and The Necromancer. Are you interested in having a bag from our shop? Yes! Would you be interested in a hand embroidered scarf? I would love one! I do wear a ton of scarves and handmade touches are always nice. If you're up for knits or crochet, would you prefer washcloths, headbands, wrist cuffs, fingerless mitts, hats, or a shawlette (wear like scarf except not as long so can't wrap around your neck more than 1-2x.) I could probably find a bunch of the above with moon motifs or for dogs/sneks/birbs/cats to wear. Washcloths, wrist cuffs, fingerless mitts, or shawlette would be my preference, though I unfortunately can't wear wool - itchy! I don't think my pets would put up with ANY of these things being put on their bodies lol. Are you interested in an advent calendar? What kind? Hmmmm. Chocolate is always good. I don't really know what all the options are. (Then this librarian went to do some research and found soooo many cool ones. But most are super $$, unfortunately) wolfeloot, are you interested in a good karma squishable snow wolf? Yep, super cute!! If I were to send a toy from one of my favorite critter toy sources, would you have any preferences? (squeaky/not, plush, chewy, etc.) There are currently 4 dogs and 2 cats here, ranging in age from 4 mos to geriatric. So any of the above would work. Squeakies are well loved here, but Tevin (our big guy who plays big brother to all the littles) loves to have a "baby" to carry around. This is usually just a stuffie that he hoards and hides from the other dogs. Little Wolfies - Arcana has dropped Hallowitch stuff and a 15% off deal. Shout out if you see anything you'd love! I'd be up for Evil Eye, Coven, Sleepy Hollow, Mountain Witch all look interesting What are your favorite shops to buy fun things (treats, toys, clothes, whatever) for your fuzzy friends? We spend A LOT of money with Chewy. We also have a local farmer's co-op that sells pet items, so we like to support them too. Favorite tea brands and flavors? I spend a lot of time drinking coffee, so sometimes my tea stash doesn't get enough love. When I do drink tea, I really just like to try different kinds. Harney and Sons hot cinnamon is a perennial fave, but I've got a pretty good amount of that. Would you want a watercolor of your pet? NO promises that it will be amazing- just wanted to ask in case you prefer a different pic for watercolor vs pain Of course! I'll need to try to upload some pics of these crazy fur children Dear wolfeloot, are you interested in a microwaveable bowl cozy? Actually, this is a thing that I always wish I had and can't believe I haven't bought myself yet! Dear 'loot -- would you like a 2023 wall calendar (or other type?) What kind? Sure, or maybe one of those desk calendars with a page per day? Something funny - or cute? I don't know. I'm not picky. Are you interested in having any freshly dried apple crips? (Golden Delicious and Fuji -- sliced, dried apples with nothing added.) Sure! I eat tons of the dried apples from Trader Joe's, so I would love it. how culinarily adventurous would you say you are???? I'd say I'm up for most anything. I enjoy trying new things. And I thought I answered this one, but that was apparently the This Is Halloween swap answers: I'd love to have one of the bags from the Etsy shop. I always have projects and small items to tote around. I like any of the cat fabrics and also the Princess Bride. (I've had my eye on these for a few swaps now!) And here are my answers to the original questionnaire. There were some links in there that I don't think carried over to email:
