Hi Sian, can I join too please.
I just don't have any idea what I'm doing present wise at the mo.
I am wanting to do miracle cream(be a miracle if I can make it LOL) next week, this could be a present or a just because I have to try it, need to see how it turns out first.

I spend so long looking at crafts/cards/scrapbooking etc on hee that I never get rond to the housework (sometimes never get round to the crafteither!!)

Very exciting new thread to follow xxx:T

craftlady - it certainly does (or is it craft stuff gets in the way of housework?) All I know is I've just spent two days making a 'dammit doll'..........OH was good enough to do dinner and get the hoover out bless him.............lol
I'm sure if I got more organised I could do more..........:rotfl:

Have you seen the Annie's Attic catalogue? They don't post to the UK so you can't buy anything (!) but loads of ideas and some things could be made just by looking closely at the picture, or adapting a pattern. Sorry I can't do a link, I'll learn one day!

Thanks for doing a link soblivion, so everyone can look, and probably waste an hour or two if you're like me.
