I have ordered some wooden blanks for my signs from this site. Ordered a week ago and not arrived yet (any day now according to terms and conditions) so I cant vouch for their quality.

I have also ordered from them before and the quality was good

I get all my wooden shapes etc from Daisy moon designs. Her delivery is pretty quick on standard orders, but she will do any of her shapes bigger, smaller or you can send her your own designs and she will let you know if they can make it. She has a fab network on Facebook and is really friendly. I would feel bad going to anyone else now. Over Xmas I was asked to do some cat chalkboards , so I emailed her and she did them 30cm tall for me. They went down a storm. X

my beads and bells arrived this morning and they are SO cute! I cant wait to do something with them although what i'll do, i dont know right now! I've bought the wadding i need for my taggy blanket, but the sewing machine is sick! The crafting gods are conspiring against me, i'm sure of it! Its really old so we're hoping to get hold of the manufacturer to if we can fix it ourselves. Then i'll be cracking on.

Midnight if you go to a DIY shop like B&Q and look in the timber area you will see the various moldings and some are quite flat. They stack them in the horizontal pigeon holes, does that make sense. Usually 6ft length but they also sell them at 3ft length. Hope this helps you out.

Hi everyone

Glad I'm not the only thinking about crafts for next christmas. I got a robo lite for christmas and whilst looking for templates for it I heard people mentioning Tea Light cards. I found a youtube instructions for them and this is one I made with my machine.



I have made a template for you here It will not print off to scale but it is on cm graph paper and is straight forward to copy and easy to cut by hand. The grey dotted lines need to be scored for folding. The box side of the card is 2cms deep this could be adjusted to fit ES mints or left as it is and filled with sweets if the window has a bit of acetate taped on inside. I have made mine with 120gsm card which I just printed so could be themed for easter (filled with mini eggs) etc. Hope this of some use for someone.
