Wow! That makes me want to start going to carboots! I've fallen in love with the range but £26 for a stocking and £50 for a wreath is a crazy price. Are they difficult to do? I've never done something like them before

Hi vikki,

Just wanted to share about the Bucilla kits - this is one that I finished a couple of years ago. The roof comes off so you can put sweeties inside!



It did take quite a long time to do, but I absolutely loved making every bit of it and love it even more now that it's finished. I wouldn't say that it's difficult, just quite time-consuming, but loads of fun! They are expensive, but I reckon you get value for money from the time you spend making them.

I've got another one to do but haven't started yet - it's this gingerbread wreath (can you tell I like the whole gingerbread Christmas thing?!)

I got both of mine through ebay, from US sellers for around £25ish.

Mrs-money penny it's looking fantastic, so detailed. Did you know there's a lady who has done lots and lots of the stockings decided to film herself doing the wizard of oz stocking with hints and tips (although I cans see you clearly don't need them!)

Oh that's so cute, and you have done it so well. I adore gingerbread things too, I ended up biting the bullet and ordered the Night before Christmas stocking (a gift for my mum as the poem is very special to us both) and I couldn't resist that gingerbread wreath either! I figured I would use some of my competition winnings to buy them. I ordered from amazon and sadly I'm looking forward to them so much I even dreamt they had arrived (did I just confess that!!!).


What stuffing do you and miss money penny buy? I saw on the YouTube vid you have to buy the stuffing

mrs-moneypenny

hi vikki, thank you for your lovely comments, ill look out for the film that lady has done on making the stocking.

Hello iammumtoone, and welcome to the Crafting bit of the MSE forum. I'm a newbie to this part of the MSE forum too. I was a 'few years old' member of the MSE forum, but did the usual - lost my password, and since I was impatient and wanted to join in right away, I re-joined as a 'newbie' just so that I could 'be with' all the lovely folks on this fantastic Crafting section. It's ahhhmazing, isn't it?!

As Mrs. Moneypenny says; don't feel anything less than a great crafter. Everyone here is so lovely and they're really encouraging to everyone - whether you've been crafting since birth or if you're totally new to the whole thing. It's a really lovely place to hang out.

Great to 'meet' you iammumtoone! :cheesy:

iammumtoone

Thanks for the welcome.

Just taken a couple of photos of my recent makes



sock monkey for ds



I can make jewellery but got fed up with it so tend to stick to other projects now.

Not got anything on the go at present, need to get a move on with making some Christmas presents.

Looking forward to joining in and seeing all the lovely things people have made.

mrs-moneypenny

love the pirate sock monkey and the owl is really cute.
