I know what you mean. Sometimes I go and there's loads I want, then other times I can't find anything. I don't go often as I have to get DH to drive me there. I live in Cramlington.

Woohoo Someone else local!! :j we can meet up sometime if you like? I try to get up to Durham to visit bunbun every other week and she comes here inbetween aswell, sometimes we just sit and natter, other times we craft!!

I have posted March Stash Swap on CP Sorry its abit late.
Joined up with card and ATC swaps too. Along with posted the card i sent to craftygranny in last months swap. Replied to Mrs B'sblog also

Im going to attempt to make a card or two today

Sorry ladies but it will take me forever to catch up and post on the last 6 days,even though i have managed to read most.. Just to say hugs where they are needed and glad the spendy elves have kept you all busy, they have given me a break whilst i have been ill

I've got the brights but on waiting list for pastels!

I've finally just finished the sock buddy for the friend from work, it took just about 10 hours overall, he's 15cm tall. My next prob is coming up with a price to charge as its my 1st I've no idea! Any ideas?

He's fab! Sorry, wouldn't really know what to charge, but I did see someone selling sock monkeys at a craft fair last year charging £7.50 and £8.50. It doesn't seem to reflect the hours spent crafting, does it? But if I charged an hourly rate, some of my cards would cost over £10 at minimum wage.

Hi there, choccy, sorry you`ve not been feeling too good, hoping you get better soon.

Love the sock creature crafty, he`s soooo cute.


Hope you get better soon

Just jumped on for a quick catch up - my word you lot chatter and spend!!!:D

I'm off to blog hop in while and will leave comments on blogs, but just wanted to say that your sock monkey is fab crafty juju! Wouldn't have a clue what to charge though - guess you should workout your material costs and then add a profit that your happy with on top of that?

JailhouseBabe - Thankyou I know what you mean about an hourly rate! If I was to charge him what I get at work, he would cost £60! Can't really ask for that!! lol I was thinking £10-£12 maybe?

wanaberich - Thanks thats what I was thinking of doing, going to sit down in a mo & jot down what I've spent

MrsB - Thankyou
