    Yippeeeeee........!! Finally got all the wedding name place settings done - that's 70 - plus I've made 6 Menu cards, so another 76 to add to my total.

    I'm away for the weekend but will post a picture when I get home.

    Only another 14 Menu cards to go..... then the base for the Mr & Mrs letters, 2 signposts for the end of the lane the church is in.... then I think I'm done!

    Total now 362 out of 500

    Well done on the place settings loopychris :)

    Love the covers florenceem :)

    Oh dear emslovesmickey you sound just like me - I could hurt myself on cotton wool!

    Well I managed to make another 11 father day teabags today. Its not as many as I would have liked but I decided to upload all the photos from my cameras onto my computer so I can hopefully try and catch up on project life. I had tons - think its going to be a long process deciding on which ones to use and getting them to fit on the pages :)

    Well, what a day weatherwise, think we had it all at some point today but hopefully a better day tomorrow (today, lol). Had a few more orders for scrabble frames so have made those today and finally finished off my "rock cottages" and even if I say so myself they look fab - think I may make some bigger cottages for in the plant pots and borders, we have quite a bucket of bigger stones. So another item towards my target

    Keep up the great work everyone :T

    Ziggy - love your hanging - it is just too adorable - as I live by the seaside I think I may well just have to make one of those - thanks for sharing :)


    Well I was hoping to get some crafting done today but unfortunately I had troubles booting up my computer today and after eventually getting it to turn on (after 3 hours) it has prompted me to make a back up of all my files and photos. 25 CD's later and I'm not even a small way through!!!


    I'd rather that than lose all my precious pics and crafting clipart though :(

    I love the pebble picture too.... I'm hoping to live by the seaside so I could add it to my list.... by the time I get around to making it we might have moved...!!

    Love your dress form too Florence....

    Haven't done too much this weekend as we've been away at my sister's. I have pricked out another 7 or so menu cards, but not finished them so can't count them yet.

    Back to reality today, so nose to the grindstone this week working on the wedding stuff. Only got 11 days to go!!!

    More fantastic makes, my daughter and her family will be with us until the 11th of July and then they'll be moving into a flat not far from us. I really missing my sewing machine and I have a list of things that I have to make for family, my youngest daughter has given me a pile of material and she wants me to make some bags for her :rotfl:, I'm also wanting to try and make a pillowcase dress for one of her daughters, roll on the 11th of July.

    Florenceem - Love the pincushions they are FAB, the dress one would look fab hung in a wardrobe

    Had a few friends ask me for scrabble frames so have been cracking on with them but have also been playing around on the laptop and found how to make something for FREE that I've seen for sale all over facebook and I'm impressed, so will be making more and framing for christmas gifts

    So, one more towards my target

    Keep up the great work everyone :T

    Well done Ziggy - those look great and I'm sure they'll go down well as presents.
