  • 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. :D

  • 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 you

    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 :p

    I started a bit late with it this year so I missed out on putting strawberries and cherries in this time.
