Well done Mum2one, I have a few more presents to wrap today which we picked up yesterday up the town. Also have the cards to write out today, want to get them done so I can give some of them out over the weekend as seeing some of the family and will save on postage

Hi all

I know I've been awol for most of the year but I have still been thinking of you all..

I've just now tried to find your other thread, the one about the money making as I need to use it next year and wanted to get some ideas in advance.

Anyone direct me to it please?

I am looking for ideas to jazz up a Terry's Chocolate Orange.

Was thinking along the lines of a knitted Xmas pud or similar.

Thanks

You could make this fabric bag- think you would need 2x 8"squares fabric to fit the chocolate orange. Contrasting fabric for great effect. Could sew flowers, or bells on the corners. All machine stitched , so quite quick apart from the embellishments.

I have seen this done and never guessed it was a choc orange inside!

Miss Hoodie has had me making Snowman soup, done 6 for the girls she goes to tap with, shes the youngest in the group, there between 14+ 17, theyve all taken her under their wing, so Snowman soup to the rescue, done 12 for her stall, so day at school 2mor getting everything ready then again sat morn, ready for 1130 doors open, I can see it being a flop! but fingers crossed.
