I've managed to make some more bits

13 Friendship Teabags and 2 Lip Balm Crackers

I would have made more of each but:-

a) couldn't find anymore cello bags for the tea bags

b) Could'nt find my cracker die to cut more lip crackers (the two I made were already cut out from a different time)

c) There just was not enough hours in the day

Off to a craft fair very soon so hopefully I will sell lots and have a reason for making even more (from my stash of course

*Jellie*

Hope the craft fair goes well. I really must get round to trying to sell some makes. I always talk myself out of it!

Go for it Jellie - you can do it. I was really nervous at my first one but I love them now. I love it when someone says how much they like my things and I have also made lots of new friends from the fairs xxx

2 more makes today as I finished the canvas and also I refashioned an old set of pj bottoms and used 1 leg to make a carrier bag holder. Nothing too exciting but starting this challenge has really focused me on getting some projects done that I've had the stash for just waiting!

*Jellie*

Today I've finished 3 more projects- didn't use much stash but it did clear some space in the craft room. I finally painted a couple of table easels for our living room. They are now all ready to display my canvas and scrap booking pages. I've taken photos at last but it may take time to remember how to upload etc!
I also made a second carrier bag holder from my old pj bottoms.

well done jellie

I made 30 cards over the weekend and 6 candy cane reindeer

And 1 friendship teabag, (thanks to crafting mad ) I know 1 lol

Only thing with christmas cards is, friend begged me to sell them to her, so no profit but I enjoyed making them lol Just have to make some more now

Current makes

Crafting mad - know what you mean about not enough hours in the day, good luck at your craft fair

moment of sanity - love the window quilt what a great idea

On the tea bag front I used to make end of year thank you cards with a tea bag for the teachers with this little verse:
A cup of tea to say thank you
For all the things you've done
Here's hoping that the summer brings you
Happiness and fun

You could change summer to season and it would work for Christmas too.
