    loopychris - I fully understand about the wedding stationery being a labour of love. I made my daughter's seven years ago and now I'll be making my son's for next spring. We know the theme, so it's now about deciding on style, colour etc.

    Florenceem - more lovely cards. Are those flowery ones stamped?
    They were printed sheets.

    Well I've been packing away most of my crafty stuff this morning so no more cards for a while until we move! The sewing machine is still out so I might get some things made still :) Hope you are all enjoying the sun this weekend and thanks for the lovely comments about my makes on my blog, it's lovely to hear other crafters complimenting my makes :)

    More stash used.
    Since I moved my craft room downstairs - everything gets more dust.
    So I looked online to see if there was a tutorial for sewing a cover for my Cuttlebug - couldn't see one so made it up as I went along.
    I lined the cover and overlocked the seams. I used the cup cake fabric so it matches with my ironing board/sleeve board covers. The fiddly bit was making a hole for the Cuttlebug handle.

    Just popping by to congratulate everyone on their FAB makes and also to apologise for my lack of posting - have had a viral infection for the last four weeks and am really struggling to fight it off so have been resting lots(seems to be one step forward, two steps back since my heart attack), I have done a little bit of crafting but nothing to declare as have had to buy frames to enable me to sell. I am also in the middle of a big (for me) knitting project - son saw a "pouffe" in Next and they want £75-£110 :eek: so I ordered the wool from Amazon (£15 inc delivery) and am cracking on with it :D

    Sorry for waffling on, hope to be back on track soon and with some pics to show too.

    Keep up the great work :T

    PS What's a "Cuttlebug"? :o

    I love your Cuttlebug cover Florenceem - you're very talented to do it without a pattern! Ziggy, I hope you feel better soon and manage to get the pouffe made.


    I found some covered beer mats and post-it notes when I was packing my craft stuff for the move, so I made some post-it note holders today. I had to buy some mini pens to go with them but it gives me some stocking fillers ready for Christmas! Pictures are on my blog if you want to see them.


    Have a fun crafty day everyone.
