oh what I'd give to have a cleaner..............our house looks a bit like its been burgled...............lol except the burglar left the stuff behind............lol

I never seem to get around to having a routine and sticking to it, thats my problem. I make lists (endless lists ) but don't get much further than that.............lol Oh well, there are worse things than a bit of dust...........lol

rainmac lovely hamper as always:D I love the coaster, I really must buy some! I am doing a cooking/baking hamper for my mum and MIL so will get some to make and put in them.

Mary I too don't get much housework done and i have made even less then you:rotfl:

I really like making coasters as they don't take much time (the one here was done in next to no time!). I backed the stitching with iron-on interfacing so the fabric doesn't fray and then popped it into the coaster with a piece of Xmasy scrapbook paper on the back as you can see through the back of the coaster. Looks quite professional if I do say so myself Good luck with yours

I don't have much of a routine either. I try and get as much of the housework done during the day (I work very part time hours and from home) so I don't eat into the evenings with housework. I do most of my making things in the evenings when little hands are in bed

rainmac, your hamper is brilliant. Could you tell me the plastic part of the coaster - does it just come apart then the aida - is that what it's called? just fit into it. It's another lovely x stitch.

savingholmes, what a thoughtful gift. Sorry your friend is not well. Hope she recovers quickly. She's going to love your present.

Housework, could you please not swear on these boards:rotfl:

These:

REad the bottom of the description to see how to assemble them - when you pull em together, you get a long tail that is big enough to tie round the 'neck' of your cellophane...

Mary, I keep hoping one of those magic elves we keep hearing about this time of year, is going to pop in and make it all sparkling.

Guess they're too busy toymaking;)

Hi

This is a bit late but I spotted these in Roseby's this afternoon so thought I would mention it as I remember people discussing them on this thread. They have a closing down sale and had assorted colours saying "nanny's little helper", "mummy's little helper" and "granny's little helper" for £1.99.

This was in Brighton but I think they have closing down sales across the country.

:j Well I was really chuffed as I got 5 aprons in wilkos last week - I've looked at the till receipt they should have been 49p each, and they went thro the till at 1p I don't know why.... but either way great bargain for me.:money:

Hi Ladies,
I bought these boxes from Matalan on the New Road Edmonton for £1.20 each they had a cage full of them.
I thought they would make nice baskets...HTH






The boxes are all the same size as the 2nd pic just different patterns.

Awww - Cheers!! :beer: :beer:

These have given me an idea for my mums birthday! I think I'm going to do her a "bed and pamper" box, with a nice fluffy (;) ) dressing gown, PJs, slippers, eye mask, candle, face pack, chocolate and little bottle of champagne!
