Tattycathy-well done on finishing the curtains:T

Florenceem - well done that outfit is superb. I bet she loved it :T

Greentiger - love the cards, like the colour themes on the kids cards and how effective is the congratulations card , like you said every little helps.

Emmi Bush - well done on the card makes

Debrak - welcome and well done on the makes. Your right about decoupage it is building up layers on things. I just got into it and have done two coffee tables and some letters .it was good messy fun. I know Rufus is going to have a go at some shoes;)

Crafty c thank you for the explanation, I'm not sure if it's a good thing or a bad thing. It would be a spend . I'm banned lol. Mind you I could encourage my mate to spend as we need to try it. I usually use the heat transfer vinyl and have had some great results . Made vests for DD and she requested some this year. I already have the stuff for that. Saying that I probably have the thermo stuff here somewhere. I know I have rhinestone stuff as I put a small heart on a vest last year and never did it again. You might just have started me off on something lol
As regards Facebook I don't use it. Someone told me you can copy and paste but I use my blog it's so much easier for me. Perhaps one of the other ladies could comment on that. I know some use photobucket

Anyhow I have a free day today so I'm off to play instead of rambling o

Green Tiger - lovely cards.
Tattycath - look forward to seeing a photo of the curtains.

I have found a piece of curtain fabric in my stash and a bit of vintage sheeting. Started on a new project.

I got another job done this morning, it was one that wasnt on my list but had been laying about for ages. ED bought my eldest GS a hi vis vest (only cheap thing) to wear on his bike in the evenings but he wouldnt wear it so she asked me to see if I could cut it up and make some armbands out of it instead. Got those done today ready for them to pick up over the weekend.

I also cut out the pattern for the bag I want to make, took a while as the pattern just had measurements so I had to cut paper pieces out the correct sizes and there were quite a few bits.

Then I came down and started cutting up the comics for the shoes, might make a start on them tomorrow morning. Just dont want YD coming round when I am in the middle of doing them and seeing them.

rufusdog - these shoes sound more and more intriguing

Made two more items this morning but i would happily have never made anything crafty again than have to do these. My cousin lost his son last night, barely over a year old, so the two things are sympathy cards. It's a hard thing to make at the best of times but when it's for a child it's almost impossible.

Sorry t hear that emslovesmickey, must have been really hard for you and such a shame for your poor cousin.

I brought the shoes down to make a start on today but feel so tired out as didnt sleep a wink last night, I just cant be bothered to start on them.

Oh em, how tragic, really sorry to hear about this, it's so sad when a child dies. Thoughts and prayers are with you and your cousin and his family xxx

I am so sorry ems - it is horrible to lose anyone but when it is somebody so young it really makes you stop and think. Thinking of you and your family at this sad time

Such tragic news - emslovesmickey - my sincere condolences.
