    Morning all, just on quickly to post a pic of some cards I have made for my next craft fayre with Mum. It's this coming Saturday and we then have another the following week. It's more about Mum shifting some of the many many rugs, teacosies, scarfs etc.etc. that she's made over the last few years since retirement. She doesn't drive, so with me taking her, it helps her to get out and showcase.

    Off to knit & knatter this morning, then the post office later to post my exchange piece :D

    Thanks Maisie. :D

    Mum is doing really well Maisie. I'm still staying with her but it is a case of just being there for support and until she regains her confidence which has taken a bit of a battering. She's definitely heading in the right direction though. :)

    Mrs M-P, so glad it arrived safely and you like it. The red hoop was made with our 3d printer my first attempt at something useful :) To share the photo you click the arrow on the bottom right, then bbcode, copy the link and paste it here. It wasn't working for me so I downloaded it and put it on my photobucket, hope that's ok.

    BEG, I'm a courier and have to work 2 extra sundays to clear the parcels from black Friday etc, everyone needs their Christmas presents so I must deliver them :rotfl:
