glad your BIL is ok crafting mad, sounds like hes really in the wars though.
maybe as another thing to make, you could do him a kit of things he can make/scribble on/generally keep him occupied while hes laid up, i'm sure the kids would love to suggest things perhaps a shoebox of goodies type affair. hope he recovers fully soon

Hi all,

Thank you for your kind words trix-a-belle and what a brilliant idea. The kids and I shall get to work tomorrow (as OH has day off today so we are having a family day at the pictures).

We managed to make more things yesterday - the kids made 4 finger puppets - they are so cute and they are really proud of them and I made three cards. I know I was supposed to be making notepads but I have to confess that I have lost the notepad blanks in amongst my mountain of crafting stash so will have to have a good tidy and look another day.

I also came across a wooden tie your shoelaces type puzzle which I painted up last night as a present for mmy 5 year old son in readiness for Christmas. That means not only have I taken more off my list, I have also managed to make a present which adds to that total too - wahoo :j

Well happy crafting everyone xxxx

Hi crafters everywhere,

Hope you are all having a good summer holiday with the kids so far xxx

We have'nt really had much chance to do much crafting over the last few days. We have had a hectic social life - movie watching, roller skating and tidying up ready for visitors (my mum & dad) who coming down today.

The kids and I have however managed to make a few more cards for my niece & nephew's children and I also made a couple of cards for challenge blogs as well.

So in all, I am another 6 items closer to being able to buy more crafty stash - yipeeee - only another 2271 items to go!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :eek:
