Blimey Popkins, what a lot of stash you have!!!

OMG Have a look at these.... you will be green with envy!!

Popkins - that reminds me of my front reception room before my friend blitzed it for me! She knew I wouldn't be ruthless enough; you could literally only take 2 steps into the room. It wasn't craft stuff though, I would never let anyone try to prise that off me!

Flourgirl - I'm so jealous of those craft rooms, they're all amazingly well organised. I've got lots of plastic boxes and a set of plastic drawers under the table that's just the right size for 12x12 papers. I'll try to remember to take a pic one day and post it up.

WoW I can't get over how much has happened in the 3 hours I've been away

melissa75 - Thankyou The fabric is for my kitchen chairs. I've saved Emilys cot bed matress as its foam (its in good nic) & I'm going to cut it up to make cushions for the chairs & cover them with the fabrics. I'm recycling & trying to save some money by updating my chairs rather than buying new ones

Popkins - It so nice to see its not just me who has a lot of things Mines all at the top of the stairs & in bedroom waiting to be sorted out but I just can't find the time. Good luck with your sorting...I'm doing the kitchen at the mo, clearing out the cupboards, its amazing what you keep hold of thinking it will come in one day! I must be ruthless...I must! lol

Craft Juju - Love that fabric it is gorgeous!!

Oh lordy did you mention the top of the stairs? :eek: This is what my 'landing' currently looks like... basically because I had a nappy cake order that needed to be despatched rather than hand delivered or collected from me I had to buy some boxes and they were cheaper bought in bulk iyswim - thing is haven't had another order that needed despatching so they're stuck at the top of my stairs!!! if only I had any space in my spare room.... :eek:



Flourgirl - some of those craft rooms are gorgeous - gonna go have another look for inspiration & ideas!!

Glittermum - I know realised when I uploaded the photo the page my PC was on - quel surprise!!! Oh mean't to say how GORGEOUS your Little Musings piccies are - your wedding one was soooo lovely!! I'd love to have one of our wedding piccies except I look so totally different than in our wedding photos (I was blonde back then!!!) so OH & I keep joking maybe we should renew our vows!!! tempting... its an idea for next year maybe...!!

Leia - LOVE your Little Musings canvas - sooooo wish I'd had mine done as a canvas now instead of just the digi pics - how much was it if you don't mind me asking!!?

Popkins - I've just showed my hubby its not just me that has a lot of crafting bits & bobs.
Oh to have a spare room for it all...we have an attic but it needs clearing out too 1st, that could be a possible work space?! I have a dressing table area in our bedroom (built in kinda) never gets used so was thinking of making that into a storage area for the crafts I am doing at the mo...if I ever get time to do it I will post pics

Good Evening Ladies

How are you all?

You've all been making some beautiful things, I wish I had the time to do a lot of what you all make! I've been reading about the machines, well I still haven't use my Cricut or Cuttlebug, they're both sitting on a table in the dining room completely unused!!!

I tried to ring my lawyer today to see what she's planning to do re the ex business, but she's never there :mad: so can't update you on that yet.

OH is feeling heaps better, although he still gets twinges in his leg and his next Endoscopy is due at the start of Marchs, but he's looking a lot better too.

I was speaking to someone at the weekend who had been speaking to a couple who had retired but had started up their own business making baby bouquets. Now, I'd seen this on the Net before so thought I'd give it a go just by using the bits and pieces I had lying around the house. I'd obviously have to practice more before selling any though! In this one, there's 5 pairs of socks, two bodysuits, and two washcloths, as that's all I had.

What do you think?

Just left a comment, Sally. That bouquet is amazing.

Ju Ju what has the Martha Stewart scoreboard got over a scorepal?? Is there much difference?
