    Hollie - they look great :D

    Anyone else noticed that the name of this board has changed to Christmas and other Yuletide?
    I confess it's only been the last couple of weeks I've ventured in here but is it normally just Christmas crafts that get mentioned?

    Looking on Flyingpigs blog I saw her mention of the Super Badge it. As I've laways wanted to make badges I found one on ebay and won it. It arrived yesterday and its wonderful. Have made 3 Beatles badges for my SIL and just one more to go. I really recommend it

    Bitsy they have only just changed the title. I think after Christmas it will get changed back. Its probably to make it easier for people to search for Christmassy ideas.

    Fantastic makes everyone.

    I was sat making boxes all last night, just a few to finish off and I will take some photographs. I popped into ALDI this morning for some of the Ritter Chocolates that just fit nicely into the boxes and they only had a few left so quickly grabbed them :) Still need some more ES mints and hoping they will be on BOGOF somewhere soon, I have the toppers made and waiting.

    You have probably been looking at my old blog - there is a link to the newer one in the old blog - however I must admit I haven't been updating it lately and really must start again. Maybe I should post pics of some of my recent makes.
    I also noticed the other day that we are both into the same kinds of music. Which festivals do you go to? This year we have been to Gosport and Fareham, Ely, Warwick, shrewsbury, Banbury and are going to the Butlins Folk weekend in December - must get all my christmas makes done before then!

    I know someone was asking earlier in the thread about what to make with felt.

    You could make this cute little reindeer pouch.
