Well you will never believe what happened at 12:30pm today Parcelforce arrived and rang the doorbell. The delivery man had a parcel which hubby had to sign for. Hubby brought the parcel straight to me as he seen from the label where it was from. When the parcel was opened inside was ........






Does anyone else have these and if so what does it state on the bottom of them? I hope this doesn't make the page go wide as I thought I had followed qwiksaves' instructions.

Wahay! You got a bucket! :T Did you get more than 1? You didn't stretch the page, the page was stretched from the earlier posts (and quoting earlier big posts can also do it)

Yes, all eighteen arrived but I thought I would take a photo of one rather than all eighteen. I thought I was doing well to take the photo with my mobile, bluetooth it to Vaio, upload to photo website, adjust it and then get the image to show here in a reasonable size but not too big. :eek: :rotfl:

I thought they looked bronze rather than gold.

Jo , they look bronze to me as well, i know they`re definately suppose to be gold, on the bottom of mine is cf228gold and mine are definately yellow gold.

moneybags - wilkensons has jars as well, not sure of price though...and home bargains...when i go into town i`ll definately check it out

chasingsunshine -last year there was a whole thread on door hangers........some super ones......think it was under 'f.a.o.rainmac' (she did some fabulous ones) If you type that in the search box at the top if should come up, or even if you type in door hangers.

My little bit of crafting over the last two days is to do patchwork borders on each end of a tea towel..........seemed to take ages but have to do it by hand. Like the end result though.
Have to get my finger out if I want to get through all the bits on my list...............:eek:

Candy -thanks for the link...........could spent hours drooling through that and increase my list of ''stuff to do''...............lol:rotfl:

soba

Many, many years ago I knitted this - it's an egg cosy. The pattern was probably from a Woman's Weekly mag or something like that (way before the days of the internet!!). I think it's knitted in aran or chunky and I think the baubles were knitted separately then sewn on.

Has anyone got this pattern or something similar? We're having a craft afternoon at school to raise some funds and I'd like to have a go at making some more.
Thanks.


PS. Many thanks to qwiksave for the help with resizing pictures.

soba - thats really sweet..........don't have any patterns like that as I don't knit and the old (very old) womans weekly I found when we cleared out mums house isn't a christmassy one. Bet theres somewhere out there if you google it.

The bottom of thses state 47854HC 8CM BUCKET GOLD, then the barcode 5050687478543 is underneath.

Under that again is "Produced especially for HobbyCraft Arts & Crafts Superstores PO BOX 5591, BH236YUUK."
