Sorry to be a pain and I know its not xmas, lol. Could anyone tell me the post to make fairy & monkey milkshake (like the snowman soup). I need to make a print of it for my folder as I'm trying to organise myself and file projects in a folder. Thanks for your help.

Sarah i have done fairy festive shakes before :-


I designed a template on picnik and if you have a look on my blog (click on printables under categories on the left hand side) you will find the tutorial and my e-mail address. If you drop me an e-mail i will send you the template across if its any use:D

Thank you, hope you don't mind me using the idea? Just bought 100 heart shaped bombs and am going to go and get some puffs once they arrive and I can see which colour goes best - sis loves them

youngoldlady What about something like this for the Bride and Groom. You could do a simple one or make it as complicated as you want. Love the idea of making your grandad a quilt. What about Mug cosy's to go with your tea cosy.

azjh Ooh I'm jealous - a crafting club - that sounds fantastic!

Knitted a bit more of my gloves last night.

Well done on your gloves PepPop! :T Thanks for the sampler link. I think they're really pretty but I'm not sure whether they'd be to the taste of the young bride and older groom, who I don't know very well. But I really like the look of them and I remember doing one as a child, so I might design/buy one and do it for me! I know I will appreciate it! :rotfl:

A mug cosy? I'd never have thought of that! Thank you! Are they much the same as tea cosies, but covering the top of the cup? Apparently you can make tea cosies for Cafetieres too.

I was talking to an old school friend today who told me she is making toe cosies and I can't get the mental picture out of my head of egg cosies sewn onto the end of some socks!! :rotfl:

Aw thanks youngoldlady you are welcome to a copy of the template i designed if you want to make some.

Thought i would pop a pic of the desk calendar i have just made. This was really simple and took less than half an hour so i may make some later in the year for xmas pressies. I used a calendar printable for the months off a fab website called creativemamma.com they have loads of free printables so worth a peek.

Love the glove reindeer............might put that on my list:T

Brilliant calendar..............another idea I love :T-can I ''borrow'' it please ?

Got my 'positive hat' on today and made a few cards............felt I'd got to something rather than dwell on things. So, quite pleased with myself
