Brilliant apron, Elyphant!

My clear out took much longer than anticipated, but I now have lots of stuff to put on ebay. I made a birthday present for my housemate today - buns and cookies because he loves them! Luckily, I had all the ingrediants already and I put them in a box from Hobbycraft. Not very impressive, I know, but I'm quite proud of them.

I'm going to make a start on mosaicing now! I picked up a plain wooden box for 99p, so I thought I could mosaic it to make it look fancy, then line it with tissue paper and get a necklace from Accessorize to put in it It'll be for my sister's birthday present, but if it comes out well, I'll do picture frames at Christmas.

Please can anyone help before they cart me off. I am sure that I have seen on here a website for making hand warmers but I just can't find it anywhere. Can anyone remember if there was a mention re these or did I just imagine it

mary-op

Kit - you're not imagining it oe going mad............I'm sure there was something on her about them.

I'm going to have a go at using a cardigan that doesn't fit and see if I can do something with the sleeves and recycle it. I'm sure someone will be able to help -good luck

mary-op

susan - you are doing well............a lot more organised than me..........I really must get on and actually do things instead of making an endless list of them...........lol

kit.............not sure if this is what you were after having read your post again but in case it is, try this .......

For any cardmakers out there I found this post on the Home Bargains thread

Today in Longton they had a lovely selection of mini paper puches for making cut out shapes in crafting. Only 39p. I bought a shell, balloon, train and teddy but the others I can remember were swirl, scooter, mouse, helicopter, crescent moon. We have tried these and they seem really good quality. I may go back for the other designs.

I'd put it in the cardmakers thread but it may already have been mentioned and I don't want to go through about the 10 pages of replies that have appeared since yesterday!

Thank you Susan

I love the cards on your blog, my mum makes cards,its something I would love to do but I have seen her card room and I would not have the space in my tiny house to keep so much stuff :rotfl:,not with all my sewing stuff too. I have a small box with things like the canvasses in for any thing else I can make other than bags and jewelley :rotfl:

Im like a magpie and can not throw anything away as I always see it as something else

You could put it in the cardmaker's thread, I have read all the 10 pages :eek: and there is no mention of this offer. :beer: I'm sure the cardmakers would appreciate it.
