I'm loving all the gorgeous things people on this forum have made. Its lovely giving out HM stuff! I gave out some of my homemade fiery pickled onions and blackberry vodka t'other day...both very happily recieved!!
If I'm more organised next year I'd like to have a go at the sock monkeys and some crayon rolls!!
Hope you're all well and looking forward to Christmas.Married in 2016. Bought our first home in 2017. Expecting our first baby in November 2017

Morning everyone:)
Everything looking great (and yummy) as usual!!!
Whammy, crayon rolls are magnificent, if a littlie loves to colour and draw, and they can be adapted for pencils (or knitting needles)
Sorry I am on an ipad:mad: really don't like it
But haven't worked out how to do links yet:o
Search the the sewing thread, lots have made them on there
Or maybe someone here will post a link for you0 -

Thanks, I now understand what you mean by Crayon Rolls!!!!!
No time to make any this year, but next year.....
Christmas isn't even here yet and I'm already starting makes for next year (!).
Does anyone know where I could find a pattern for chair covers? I want to cover some childrens plastic chairs for my daughters birthday party... it needs to be easy as I'm not great at sewing!!!

Been busy making and baking today with my little girl, while I was in the kitchen I thought I'd check on my Rumtopf and put it in jars for Christmas gifts
They've only been 'stewing' for 2 months, so could do with another 4 weeks really (depends on how sweet you like it!), but I'll pop some instructions on the labels so the recipients know to wait a bit longer
I started a bit late with it this year so I missed out on putting strawberries and cherries in this time.
They look lovely :j - do you mind if I ask how you made them please? :j0 -
Yummy looking makes :T Wish I was domesticated like that..............afraid I freak out at anything to do with the kitchen -thank goodness that OH has managed todays dinner (so far) despite broken hip !
Be my turn tomorrow:eek:
Haven't thought about anything for next year yet due to circumstances here.............oh eck........just noticed on the desk here a fudge kebab that needs a box making for it :eek: Button necklace needs putting into something and I need more buttons:eek:
Have a yen to do things with them..............lol:rotfl:I would be unstoppable if only I could get started !
