need to pick your brains if i may...

im making 2x teabag advent calendars like this
http://luv2create4u.blogspot.co.uk/2012/07/tea-bag-wreath.html

but they will just be plain old tetley tea as my mum and stepdad dont do flavoured teas, but it will make them smile

i would like to add a little biscuit or choc maybe to each one, but they have to be indiviually wrapped and light so as the pegs will hold both them and the teabag!

any ideas what can be used?

Heroes chocolates? or Amaretti biscuits? or maybe the Lotus caramel ones

The picture frames are beautiful Carlamarie. So clever and so cheap as well, fantsatic job.

That baby blanket looks lovely and cosy Mrs M. Loving the roadkill hedgehogs lol.

Soulie glad the chemo went in a bit quicker this time for you so you didn't need to be in any longer than necessary. The Tigger patchwork is great, so bright and colourful.

Well done on completing another two projects Tricksie.

Dibuzz your knitting is lovely. I really like the wee matinee jacket, absolutely gorgeous. I had quite a few hand knitted jumpers and cardigans for both my ds and everytime they wore one people commented.

Love the bookmark and card Floerofscotland. How did you do the fringing at the bottom of the bookmark, as it really finishes it off?

Dakota86 hope you manage to get the blanket finished in time.

nuttybabe wow that's very organised for Christmas. What a lovely colour wool, very pretty.

Oh I absolutely adore your bee Chickywiggle. He is so cute.

Jakesbakescakes good luck with your cross stitch. Which one did you get?

I was hoping to get the asiatic lily project finished for my mum's birthday on 26th but that's not going to happen so I will do it for her xmas instead. Will need to start on MIL's picture for her birthday as it is on 18th April and I don't want to miss another deadline:o

Hi everyone, I have been neglecting this thread since I joined due mostly to poorly family members and assignments, but I have been keeping up with all the lovely thing you have all been making, you are all very talented

I have got myself organised to start a few this week which should get me up to date a bit. I'm starting off with the bunny plush, Easter egg basket and the cakes as I missed a family members birthday and that would be a nice surprise for them at the weekend and Easter only being a few weeks away I will be encouraged to finish the bunny plush and basket before then, hopefully. I have printed off the templates, just need to cut the fabric and find some quiet time to get the sewing machine out, perhaps monday/tuesday.

Here is the list I intend to get through, and probably not in that order knowing me!

1. Modern folksy bunny plush
2. Cake/cupcakes
3. Quilt
4. Roman blind for daughters room
5. Easter treasure surprise eggs
6. Easter egg basket
7. Storage boxes
8. Christmas chutney and jams
9. Cushions
10. Dolls clothes set
11. Sewing machine tidy
12. Car tidy/storage
13. Christmas decorations

The only crafty thing I have done thi syear is make a dinosaur hat from card, I'm not counting it though
