I thought your instructions were really clear, a really good idea too, I must add this to my ever increasing list of things to make. Thanks x

Stunning garland Arty how clever.

Bunny200 love your makes as well. I think your babygro's are lovely. i particularly like the boys one with the tie i think they would be more popular than the girls ones (think i am scarred from the same tarten kilt and all in one vest experience lol to make it worse i have an older sister and my mum bought us both them so i had to wear hers 5 years later!!! )

Hart,
Just wanted to say thanks for posting that link about the spice pot pourri stuff. I ordered some and it arrived today and smells wonderful!!! Thanks again. x

Any ideas on what to make for MIL for her 70th? The family have clubbed together for her main gift so I thought it would be nice to give her something more personal.

ETA: Her birthday is a week away so it can't be too complex!

You are welcome Pootle, Im so glad you like it
I only found it by chance and so glad I did as it does smell great

I have just finished a nappy pouch for my DIL I got the tutorial from Noodlehead (her button is on my homepage) the link I put on is not working, sorry

I thought it would be nice to add to her baby bag and also easy to just pick up when visiting friends or her mum, she can put 2-3 nappies and wipes in it.
I will post a pic tomorrow as Im shattered after working all day and then again this evening

I made my 74 yrs old MIL a cushion and she was pleased as punch with it, mine was a patchwork one but perhaps you could do her a nice simple one maybe just 4 different colour squares on the front and a little bow or something in the corner?
My MIL loved it because I had made it even if it wasn't perfect

hi everyone, i've loads to catch up on but not sure if i can - i've got computer problems and it keep crashing so i can't stay long!

apartfrom work and having to sort out for over a week lving in a field at glastonbury festival, i've been really busy craft wise - Im nealy done on the charity quilt square, have made 1 raven for my friends shop (in glastonbury town so i save postage), some felt mushroom pins for her shop too, many felt bits cut to take with me for when the offic is quiet, and trying to sort out 2 more charm square swaps.

Tina - due to computer probs i only just saw youve posted the list. could you remind me of the posting date please? also perhaps a little mor advice on what 1 item is? i've not done an item swap b4, only fabric.

Kandi - i'm totaly stoked to have you - i dont feel worthy! im gonna have to get my crafting mojo sorted for this one! i know yu like shabby chique from what you make , butyou make the things soo well i coldnt compete so i'm a little belwidered!

Morning All:wave:

I think I'm a stranger to this thread now! But I have been reading:).

I've just looked at my blog and realised I've not made anything in over a month!:eek: Life just gets in the way sometimes.

Anyway there have been some fantastic makes going on here, well done girls :T

I'm hoping to reacquaint myself with my sewing machine this week as I have a to do list as long as my arm lol, and also prepare for the fabric swap.

Oh and thanks to you lot I now have an addiction to the shabby chic thread!:cool: I'm reading the old one first so it's taking me ages to catch up with!

Thanks for all the kind words about my makes, the babygrows have been passed to a friend who is going to sell them (hopefully) through her ebay kids clothing shop! Lots of ideas in my head and just need some method of getting them completed. How many projects can you have at one time and still stay sane........? I thnk I'm on 4 atm!
