Has anyone tried a kit from Haan Crafts? I noticed them at the bottom of the page (advertiser) and checked them out this morning.

For example, there is a football kit. (They have a baseball bat as well; that might be interesting.) They have stuff like hamburger pillows and stuffed animals as well.

They do have some fabric by the yard as well. But I'm particularly wondering if anyone has tried a kit from them. A few of them seem like they would make nice theme gifts and be much easier than trying to find a little of this fabric and a little of that fabric.

Initially I was on the fence with the football, until the monkey popped up..then I jumped that fence to my cart..Price seems okay, not great but could be worse..
Hard to judge quality of the kits without seeing one..and I personally have not. but no harm in ordering just one for starters, as you are so right, its a pain to put locate all the items you need for projects like this.
Even if you did not care for the final result, it could be donating instead of gifted. Then nobody loses..
PS.DID I mention how cute the monkey was....

Please report back after you get your kit. I'll stay on that fence for now. (Although you are right, the price for a kit is reasonable enough and would make a good donation.)

Did you get the swinging monkey or the one they call mojo? I'm kind of partial to bongo.
