Been making coaster calendars all morning (well got 5 done). OH brought me a load of beer mats back from the pub -don't know how many he thinks I'm making..........lol:rotfl: Made a nice change from eyes popping out with the sewing.
Need some magnets now, really want the stuff you can cut into strips and not where to get it. I'll try out craft shop on Monday see if she's got any.

I've just been having a look through the craft ideas on the hobbycraft web site .... they have some really nice christmas craft ideas on there.
I thought the decorated candles looked really good (and easy)

Haven't posted for ages but thought it was about time. Things have really taken off for me, after someone in work spotted my Snowman and Reindeer poop jar pictures on Facebook. I made them for family last year. Anyway, the orders have been flying in. So I made some updated versions and posted them up and now I have orders flying in!

I have also made some reindeer food (which I was asked for) and I am really please with so thought I'd share.

oh dear I've been awol & now the big day is looming & I have hardly done anything!! I need to spend some time with a nice cuppa reading back through this thread

While I think about it am I imagining seeing a picture of a bouquet made from dusters? I would love to make one for a friend who is moving house next week

Hope everyone has been well

It's porridge oats and glitter. Some people used suger (dyed) in theirs, it's all personal preference.

Candy -love the weather wally.........:T

Just have to think now where I can get some odd wool......not being a knitter I don't tend to buy it. I'll try the charity shops.

Need a brainwave............I had a baby tree delivered yesterday -very small- and it was in a little jute bag with plastic lining and drawstring top. Must be able to create/concoct something out of it but can't think what other than a santa sack but what on earth would I put in it ? It's about 6 inches tall....3 inches across.

i made a christmas tree decoration out of mine (including the drawstring)



and i made my mum a lemonbalm filled heart, with a small wooden heart on it and a green gingham bow on the jute hanger

That looks lovely...............good idea and must admit, I do love jute/hessian stuff so part of me was a bit loathe to pass it on to someone else.
Just have to make a little gingerbread person now..........still haven't made the mum,dad and baby ones I said I would............still there's time yet:)
