    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

    All amazing - I may even have to "borrow" the reindeer idea as I have just come across two boxes of in date candy canes :D

  • My stash isn't exactly a mountain, but as a uni student in a smallish room that has to have everything in it but my food....with Christmas presents and everything else, it's definitely getting a little greedy.... it takes up half my storage space and there's no room for any more furniture in this room. I'm already using the top of the wardrobe...

    Also Christmas presents, need to make...

    Maybe 15 projects before buying anymore, especially because I know I'm going to get more stuff for Christmas. Except for possibly one more ball of wool because I'm partway through a scarf and I don't think I've got quite enough to finish it :(

    Loving the wreath - do you have a stash busting target in mind (how many makes you will do before buying any new stash) ?

    I am using my stash to make things to sell at my daugters xmas fayre, I haven't had to buy anything and it feels good to use all the beautiful paper and fabric I buy on a whim, also it means I can sell them really cheaply and still make a profit.
    Everyones a winner!
    if they sell................
    Can anyone tell me the easiest way to post pics on here?

    Love your mice, I made some similar two years ago and they sold like hot cakes mine were all in white.
    Not been doing much as I have had a bad cold and hardly been able to hold my head up.
    I aim to make Xmas decorations for the tree.
    Cover a waste bin.
    Finish my scrap quilt.
    Make a few Xmas cards.
    Finish a notice Board.

    Ooh thanks rosie I have made a lot of white ones too as they are so cute!
    Can I be cheeky and ask what you charged for yours and maybe some ideas on prices for the other stuff I am a complete novice.
