    Cleaner came today and cleared out the back bedroom of all the christmas stuff from last year -I know have a bin bag for charity shop, bin bag of rubbish and enough stuff almost to keep my Christmas really cheap...........lol
    Found a purple batik cotton sort of scarf..............now what can I do with that ? Has to be something I can make out of it thats really easy.
    Ideas anyone ?:)

  • Yay just checked out a fabric shop that is only a couple of minutes drive from my house and I love it - they even do fat quarters! Must resist temptation to buy too much fabric!

  • As promised, this is what i bought the battery operated candles for haha.....

    Lovely Casey - well done. Are they gifts or to sell?
