I'm half way through making my chilli jam. Got the bf to taste it and he said it was really good! Very happy to have made a real start on gifts now

I have a circle punch but I find it hard to space out the tags in the right place to use the punch. I end up placing the picture or words 4 to a page and then use the punch. Im sure someone else will have a better idea for you

thanks, so its just trial and error;)

Right - wow! Have managed to read through about the first 50 pages and the last 50 pages of this thread and am now so inspired!
Have got a list of 4 or 5 things I'm gonna make for people this year and also use for Xmas fair stalls for Guides and things like that!
Thanks guys for all your ideas, inspiration, hints, tips, recommendations etcc! Am now off sourcing the cheapest bits here and there but sometimes thats easier said than done! When I can post some pictures I'll try post what I've done and ideas I've found!
Off to get crafting [=

Hello FlyingPig and gifted crafters. I'm back again for another yuletide creative challenge!

I joined in last year and made a little money which was mainly restricted purely because I didn't get on board early enough last year, so I have a selection of stuff that didn't sell this year, plus have started producing this years selection.

As a reminder, I have detailed below what I produced last year, some sold, but I have some remaining as well as flannel cupcakes.

Hubby and I are due to adopt two siblings in the new year, so I would like to raise money to equip the bedrooms and help ease the financial pressure a little. I have lots of materials left from last year, so am desperately trying not to be lured into craft shops to spend yet more money and plan to use instead all the existing supplies. The only thing I am short of is freezer paper (waxed). So I have ordered this today on ebay.

I have alredy signed up to a couple of local Christmas fayres - the big one on the 19th November, so will be working flat out in the next two weeks to make up some stock.

My list of makes are:
*- Christmas stockings
- Christmas card hangers
- Felt tree decorations
*- Hand printed Christmas aprons
*- Lavendar bath salt sachets
*- Christmas Gift and Bottle Bags

* examples of these are in the photo below

I need to catch up on the thread so apologies for not being on board 100% and finding out how everyone is going. I will do a catch up and come back to you - lovely to see some familiar names as well as all the newbies! xx

Poundland have decent sized bags.;)
BTW I also got a one cup teapot in there today. I'm intending to knit a casy for it, and put with a mug and mug cosy, a jar of homemade marmalade and some nice teabags to make a Breakfast Hamper.

Hi,
As per angeladavis, I have not posted yet this year.
Love all the new makes....one question....on flannel reindeer and
those really lovely dogs a couple of pages ago....what do people use
to fasten the eyes and noses on??? I want people to be able to use the items so superglue is out of the question!
I have a load of reindeer made up but have yet to attch the eyes and noses....
Many thanks
