I loved this thread Last year thanks to it I made some fab homemade hampers inc chillie jam, fruit jam, fudge, shortbread, snowman soup and other yummy things

This year I am going to be making aprons for the ladies
This one for friends and ahem myself http://community.livejournal.com/sew_loli/395156.html

I also would like to make a couple of these http://www.kaboodle.com/reviews/the-chloe-vintage-inspired-blue-cupcake-apron But can't find an easy pattern can anyone help?

I am also loving this little girls apron but again don't have a pattern and wondered again if anyone has any links?


I will also be making oven mits (she says enthusiastically although she's a beginner at sewing :rotfl:)

moneysaver - well done with the reindeer and pots of gold :T
Musn't forget I've got two reindeer to do..........everyone seemed to have one last year I think apart from my son and his girlfriend. They had a swiss roll...........and foster daughter had a ting christmas cake (white flannel rolled up, red ribbon round it and a bit of holly in the top)

Topped up on ribbon this morning -got to the craft shop and couldn't remember what card/paper I wanted (senior moment :eek:) So, got some to cover small hat box and a pot of flowers, all sorts of shapes and sizes.........put some of them on my little key ring post it note holders.
Can't see much getting done tomorrow -double glazing chappies are coming -very early :eek:

Moneysaver - why not try your local florist - ours will sell it by the metre and there's a choice of colours.

Following on from my holiday themed hamper for my sister I stumbled across this adorable DIY Ice cream parlour, she loves putting out ice cream and all the sweetie toppings when we go for tea so this would be amazingly beautiful. Will have to cost it out as it is looking very probable at the moment I'm in love :j

Laura, have you seen these ice-cream cupcakes? I can't wait to have a go at them - might have a go this weekend. Aren't they adorable?

Ninno - I normally get it from the florist, just wondered if online was cheaper. They also sell the ribbon and the florist will make a nice bow for me

Mary - is there a website for the post it keyring? Can't seem to figure out how to do it from the pics.

Finished painting the other 3 pots of gold, just need the gold to go in. Making boxes for the bathbombs to go in my reindeer.
Any ideas for what to put in a reindeer for a man? Soap seems a bit unexciting!

Could you put a boxed drink miniature - like a little whisky bottle etc. or see if ethol Austin do some mini aftershave bottles.

moneysaver - this site should give you a tutorial

chicnscratch.typepad.com/stampinacademy/.../post-it-notes-k.html

Hope that works ok.........never much good with links.

Failing that type 'key ring post it notes' in google or whatever search engine you've got and it should come up ok.
