May i join to? I have done lots of crafts in the past and now i'm on maternity leave so hope to have more time to do it - so far not so good :0) I have a lot of bunting to make for orders so must find more time to do them.

Hi Can I join in the challenge please?:)

I love crafting and always have several things on the go. I am hoping to get stuff together to sell online folksy,etsy, noths etc. I can't craft everyday as I have 3children and am a carer and also have fibromyalgia so I do what I can when I can.

My list
1 personalised pj case for my daughter
2 hair clips for summer fair stall
3 buttercup bag
4 bag for life
5 peg bag
6 several cushions

I cut stuff out and pin together then have a light bulb moment for another craft idea and cut and pin .......

Loving what I have seen so far, I don't know any other crafters, my friends think I'm weird!

Woo I did it! I made two cushion covers Got to start off simple! They are very plain but figured I could make a few and tart them up somehow. Will post a photo tomorrow. Just so pleased I've made something half decent!

Hello everyone, I've been lurking on here for ages and finally plucked up the courage to post.

I've got a big craft fair coming up in 9 days time and an order for a wedding shop to fulfil so I've got loads to make really quickly and really have to put my bottom in gear to get it done!!!:o

I've worked out I've got 825 items to make in the next 9 days:eek:

These are lots of different things including magnets, invitations, notelet sets (4 in a set but have classed each set as 1 - oh no that makes it even worse!!!!!), badges, felt decorations, hair accessories etc.

Some don't take long to make and others take a good few hours per items, so what better motivation that to post on here and have you lot keep giving me kicks when I need them - please

OK I'm off to start a mammoth craft session (actually I also promised the kids I'd take them rollerskating today so it won't be that big until they are safely tucked up in bed tonight!!!!

I feel several late nights coming on!!!!!!

Big warm welcome to you cakeybaker.......oh your name makes me hungry :rotfl:

I am just trying to get stuff onto folksy at the minute myself - have a few things listed but not too many lol!

You sound like another busy bee - i think we all craft to get some time to ourselves you know and of course you are weird - all crafters are a good kinda weird and interesting people in my book I look forward to seeing and hearing what you are up to xxxx

I think they look great ppb they are lovely and straight and good seams - brilliant for the first thing you have made from scratch, you shoulda seen my first attempts lol!!!

Are you still wanting to add something to them? If so what sort of things you thinking of? xxxx

The seams on the back flap aren't overly straight but I'll just keep those ones.

I don't know really.... maybe hearts? I also thought, randomly, a big blue and white anchor. I dont know why! If I make more, I need to think of something that would sell. They could also be dyed, although I don't know how much the dye would transfer onto sofas and clothes etc.
