Crafting for Christmas 2010, lets begin again......

SavingSu

Have just clicked on your link quiksave and have made myself come off straight away. I love the gromlets - even the word itself is sooo cute. I really don't need another type of craft!!!!! But lovely site... from what little I let myself look at it.

Hi everyone i have spent the day converting a address book to a www. address book, I cant put photos on here yet but my blog in in the signature link if you want to look, i think they`d be great in hampers and as xmas presents. Co-ordinated of course

I purchased a address book at home bargains for 49p today, has rubbish covers(dont matter) but the inside is lovely

I have two windows open whoopidoo, one has 13 tabs on and the other has 6 tabs, I have threatened my lot with sudden death if they close either one!!

I think they have withdrawn the swatch option on the page at the moment. I want to do a patchwork throw, anyone got a link please?

I made this using a square card template I made myself. I then layed the pieces out on the floor to get the layout I wanted. Then sewed each row together on my sewing machine then sewed all rows together. I backed the quilt with a blue fleece I bought from Ikea, inside is some wadding a got from the local habadashery store. You can add a light 4.5tog duvet inside of the wadding.

:beer: I kknow I've been spending too much time on here - we're drinking snowman soup. OMG! It is so good - we didnt have any chocolate buttons so we've used a bashed up chocolate orange :rotfl:Not with the peppermint stirrers obviously 'cos we though that might taste weird. So we're using twirls instead.

(It's a snow week - diet starts again when the schools go back)

pixifaery - You're more than welcome and don't have to do anything except give the rest of loads of ideas so our brains feel they;re about to explode...............lol:rotfl:
And be prepared to spend hours on here drooling over some of the wonderful things that get made -hasten to add.....not by me !

qwiksave - oh lor.........just had a look at that site for a hole puncher...........how much :eek: Think I got so used to getting bog standard stuff from our old woolworths -not at all used to the proper craft stuff. I am a meanie I know but I can't get to grips with the cost of some of the stuff. Oh crikes, now I sound a real scrooge and I'm not, honest, its just with OH being unable to work, post christmas and all that every penny/pound counts........
I've foraged among my dads old tools and found something that makes a hole.........not exactly a hole puncher but it'll start me off -I think/hope/..........:rotfl:
Thanks for the link though..........off to have a look at the papers on there

There is an eyelet tool that is occasionally found in the £1 shops (and possibly DIY shops), a basic eyelet setter that has different hole sizes that you screw on. If you look in the tools section, you can usually find what I'm on about. I had one when I very first started out crafting and it was brilliant for what it was! I do have the crop-a-dile now though, and only got that because it was a good price at the time.

Wanted to say Hi and that is fantastic Princess Poppy. I'd love to be able to make one for my DD. Can I ask how much it cost to make? Would it be cheaper to buy one (which wouldn't be a disaster like mine)?
