Hi, I've been browsing through all your posts the last couple of days, and you all have some fantastic ideas and make beautiful things. I would love to make everyone handmade gifts this year for xmas but feel as they wouldn't be appreciated by some people

I've been making my own cards for the last couple of years and really enjoy it, also the kids make their own cards (it saves me a fortune).

Hoping to try and make my own pasta this week, I have small Christmas cookie cutters that I'm going to use, then leave them to air dry and then jar up for Christmas hampers... has anyone done this b4?

Hi everyone, been sent over here because I'm in the mood to start getting crafty again! I used to make my own body scrubs and face masks and hair treatments and things for friends but want to get more crafty ready for christmas. Thinking of making stockings for people and was wondering where the best place is to get some fleece fabric from? There aren't really any craft shops or haberdasheries around here so need somewhere cheap online that has a good reputation!
