    Hi all

    Susan glad things are better with DD. You seem to have a biscuit price mystery on your hands lol

    Mrs Moneypenny, I love the stocking, it will be a fab present. So it's felt on the outside and quilted too?

    mum2one, you always have some funny stories about your family. Have you got a new debit card yet? Hope you hide it from the dog this time lol

    willow - did you get yourself some more needles yet?

    I haven't really done anything apart from buy some cards and think ahead. I will probably start making up the collage cards before I forget, all I seem to be doing is the image cutting out when I go to the art club.

    its all felt but appliqued together some areas are lightly stuffed to give it a bit of depth and 3Dness.
    ive finished the applique on the blue top piece now and am about to attach the green main part of the front to it.

    I love to make things but sometimes lack inspiration so this thread will really help me.
    I like the idea of joining up next year too so that I can get things throughout the year to save money.
    Now to have a skim through all the post...I may be some time...:rotfl:
    Don't turn a slip up into a give up:D

    Well I`m back, DD is ok , thank you for all you kind wishes, she broke her jaw. Basically she fell in bath, whacked her chin and a tooth splintered through her jaw. They have now got her tooth out. So her jaw just had to heal. I was thinking all sorts....

    I made some signs last week with a little bargain in Dunelm, I love them , so easy to do

    Signs for all occasions

    Moneypenny - I love that stocking its gorgeous

    Mum2one - good news about the card? Or is it with grandad hoodie, springing for things lol

    Susitiger - welcome to thread, sit back, pull up a chair and get yourself a cuppa. In other words we`re not very fast moving
