esmer - love the bath salts and did you write that label yourself ?:T

midnight - I'm gobsmacked !!! What a lot of stuff and I want it all..................:rotfl: Soaps are lovely, home sweet home signs, and little decorations..............ohhhhhhhhhh........have you got a template for the little mittens and boots ? Oh I love 'em..............:T

Put me to shame............I found two shoe boxes i hadn't covered so out came the red textured wallpaped (49p from charity shop) and I got them done. Then set to and finished off my little 'memo' board...........pretty paper, contrasting pegs and a little calendar...........oh plus peg to hold pen..........need to find small pen now.

And thats been my lot for today............not much compared to midnights load;)

yeah but if we were paid on a time scale mary, you have put in the hours, so you would be a millionaire
i wouldnt get much at all:rotfl:

i just cut the mittens & socks out of felt, double thickness so they are both the same
no template, just in my head:rotfl:

and no one told me maribou turns into feathers when you cut it!
i looked like a chicken:rotfl:

and yes, i should i have anticipated:D

About time you posted your stuff midnightraven! They are fantastic.

Mary - Yeah I did the labels, I found nice BRIGHT orange paper, and just chose to write it out so I could get them finished. I updated my homepage with all the Pint of Socks, and my bath salts.......... Need to put photos of my Bath fizzie smoothies...........

I got lots done today. thanks to my lovely parents in having my DD

midnight -if you saw my efforts that seem to take age to do..........millionaire I would not be..........lol
Think I'm a bit like a bodge- it builder who spends more time thinking about it than doing it........lol:rotfl:

esmer - love your pint of socks labels..........I'm not so creative (what am I saying -can be if I set my mind to it...........lol) I've just typed out ''Pint of Socks'' in fancy print
