Lovely makes everyone. Sorry I have had a few days away in London and it was my little girl's birthday yesterday so not made much progress on the crafting front Have managed to make a card and a badge for said birthday though so another 2 items to declare for my total


Hoping to have a crafty day tomorrow making more things for the school father's day fair. That should hopefully help my totals along


Keep up all the good work fellow stash busters

Hey all, i thought i'd post a few things. To be honest, I'm having a bad time with depression at the moment so have no confidence at all in my abilities. It's been very difficult to make anything, let alone post the pics on here.

Great work - love the sewing tag!
Hope you pick up soon. I find crafting helps me when I feel down.

Sorry to hear about your depression and that you feel down, I've suffered with it for nearly 30 years so can fully sympathise. Your makes are lovely, I just love the little fireplace with the Christmas stockings!

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

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"?

Sorry to hear you've not been well, welcome back and don't overdo things xx

Florenceem... love all your makes too. You're putting me to shame, you're really cracking on with your stash busting.

I have today actually sat and made the 70 name place setting cards for the wedding. I found that when I actually concentrated on them and put my mind to it I whipped them out in a couple of hours. No pics yet as I haven't put the names on them yet, that will be done on the printer and then I'll stick them all on when I've got final numbers/names.

I've also picked up another project for the wedding along the way - the table plan. Had to buy some mountboard for that today, also some parchment type paper for the Order of Service inserts. I think I'd better do a couple of menus for each table too, so that's another 16 cards to !!!!! out in the next week....

Seems never ending, all the preparation and organisation needed just for one day! I am getting there though, albeit slowly.

Ems all of these are amazing. You certainly dont have to worry about your crafting abilities - you put me to shame!

Hope you feel better soon. Remember on this thread you are among many friends

Thank guys. I'm hoping this is a temporary thing. I just feel like i've hit a brick wall at the moment.
