    I don't even know what felt balls are :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: sounds like fun :D xxxx

    You get wool roving and use soap and hot water to roll it into balls, wet felting basically. The little balls are similar to pom poms but smooth. See sounds simple doesn't it, shouldn't have taken me so long to master! :rotfl::rotfl:

Then come back here and in your post paste the address (hit ctrl and x key) that will tell me exactly how to get to your page :) I can have a look at it from there and see what is going on :D xxxx

    Yep i found you :) looks great so far :D You might just like to move your cover image down a bit as you have cut off your dolls heads in the pic! ;)

    maybe wasn't viewable just because it was a brand new page but not sure! If privacy settings were on i wouldn't be able to see and post on page but i did so thats not an issue :)

    Now you just have to start promoting it :D there are lots and lots of vintage pages which i found when searching for you - i would start with going over and liking some of their pages. Also its a good idea to share a link to your pages on your own timeline etc if you have one and asking friends to like the page for you too.

    I am only starting to do these things too so not too far down that road yet myself! xxx

    [STRIKE]5. A sunglasses case[/STRIKE]
    [STRIKE]6. A gift bag[/STRIKE]
    7. Earrings
    8. Cupcake shopper bag
    9. Covering a damaged table
    [STRIKE]10. Waste paper bin[/STRIKE]

    I hang my head in shame!

    I just could not get motivated yesterday (think it had something to do with hubby going away to work again!!!! - hes now not back until Weds and then only back for 6 days before going off to Australia for 3 weeks!!!)

    Made yesterday 17h April:-

    7x Notelet Sets (4 in a set but each set counts as 1)

    Total made today - 7 !!!!

    my to do list now looks like this

    825 Items in 14 days challenge

    Made 247/825 - Still to make 578 - Days Left 10

    Today I will make up for such a bad day yesterday (well that is the thought process but you never know!!!!)

    Happy Crafting xxxx
