    hiya, i bought the xbox controller bead from a seller on facebook. and then i made the keyring.

    if your on facebook and you'd like the details of where to get the bead please pm me. it took about 2 weeks to come as she makes the beads to order.

    ooohhh i've had a delivery of lots of goodies over last few day and my brain is buzzing with things to make i don't know what to make first.

    i made a few bits last night i'll post pictures later.

    Was really nice last night i sat on one sofa surrounded by sewing, beads and crochet making away and hubby was on other sofa with all his paints over coffee table doing painting for his model railway. we spent the whole evening crafting from when the kids went to bed at 7.making the most of it before hubby goes back on nights next week.

    i made a couple of bits saturday evening.

    i love these mummy and daughter bracelets. I was looking for a nice mummy charm, but i could only find mum or mother. both of which i not too keen on. my children have never called me mother and very rare call me mum. so if anyone find a nice mummy charm please let me know.

    Wow, you have made some amazing things, and you seem to make them so quickly! I agree that you should definitely look at selling them, I bet your things would be really popular :) I've heard Etsy shops are ideal for handmade items.

    You've inspired me, I think I'm going to look for my stash of felt tonight.

    aaww thankyou, but i really am just concentrating on being a mummy for now and not wanting to go back into business. i remember the long hours of some nights not sleeping to fulfill orders as got so many, which was fantastic at the time, but i not sure i'd have the time to give at the mo.

    but hubby is always very encouraging and would support me if i did again ,plus i've taught him the basics so he is good at making bits now also.

    i've made lots more now, will put picture up later. but mainly been concentrating on my dd crochet blanket for her bed, as the boys want me to make their's for them, so i need to speed up a bit,lol managed to use a whole ball of wool yesterday but the blanket didn't look much bigger :eek: was only a 100g one tho,lol.my 5 yr old son has asked if i will trach him crochet, not quite sure how to do that as he's left handed , but i'm gonna give it a go.


    enjoy your craftying nickybo
