Not read back - just an update. Molly Elizabeth was born on Tuesday evening weighing 7lbs 3. She's gorgeous!

Brilliant news and Congratulations Sugarspun!! Excellent choice of name I have a Molly (funny as Melissa from cardmaking thread just had a baby boy and he is Elliot which is my son's name!!)

Hope you are getting plenty of rest and all is going well for you all xxx

Meant to say, you could always make your own template using card

Heres a template you could make to size and cut out

Congratulations Sugarspun :T and welcome to the world baby Molly:j

Happy birthday Scatty! :T Hope you have a great day

sarah - thanks for the links.............like the one with socks/stockings -any ideas where there are some templates for things like stockings, snowmen, christmas trees and stuff that I can make to hang across our dresser ? I can't seem to find any

Been out to the charity shops but rain stopped play so I came back with a little cosmetic bag with lips on it (20p) that's just the thing to put some freebies in for grandaughter, a sort of 'bistro' tray and matching mugs (£1), some clothes pegs -they're for me............lol and some shoe boxes to cover. Not a lot for a morning out...............still, found two brown flannels upstairs lurking in the spare room so I've got my reindeers sorted...........:rotfl:

These are so cute...




CRAFT MATERIALS:

3 round objects (we used a spice jar lid, the bottom of a yogurt container, and a mason jar lid) Scissors Craft foam, white and orange Glue dots Monofilament Buttons Permanent marker Ribbon
Time needed: Under 1 Hour

1. Using the round objects as patterns, cut out 2 white foam circles in each size.

2. Place one set of the circles on a flat surface, spacing them 1/4 inch apart. With glue dots, glue a 12-inch piece of monofilament across the circles as shown, then firmly press the matching circles on top.

3. Use more glue dots to attach buttons and an orange craft foam nose. With a permanent marker, draw on eyes and a mouth. Finally, tie a ribbon scarf around the monofilament at the neck, and then knot the line above the head to create a loop for hanging.
