    mrs-moneypenny, another beautiful biscornu. Alice's tooth bag is really cute.

    Finished with Christmas cards for now - managed to get 95 done this week. I would have liked to get to 100, but I had set my mind to finish with them today. I'll get back to them after a good break.

  • Hi Everyone. Loving everyones makes, far too many to mention, but they are very inspiring, will definitely be adding some different types of crafting to my To Do List.
    I did start re-doing my Projects List with mainly new things to attempt but have put that aside & my new list is mainly knitting and sewing, but I am trying to put in the time and effort to make them extra special.
    I have DGD three days a week & so crafting takes a back burner then and am off to see the 2 DGS for a couple of weeks, soon. Will probably post next while I am there.

    Morning
    What lovely makes as always. The cards are beautiful and inspiring.
    Mrs moneypenny the bisconi is lovely, I have a couple of patterns for them but have not tried them yet.

    Once again crafting plans when haywire, didn't start my Christmas cards but did make a birthday card and present for my friend who visited from Scotland. Will post photo later. Also finished a dress that I cut out last year, so am getting things done.

    Wishing you all a good day x

    Keep those cards coming, Florenceem.
    Sweetcarer, I've said it before and I'll say it again - your stitching is beautiful.
    commuterggranny and craftycrafty, you'll get back into the swing soon enough, I'm sure.

    Didn't want to be making cards for a while, but friend has been taken into hospital, so I had to do a card for her. While I had the stuff out I also made my SIL's birthday card (June). I hope I don't lose it like I did that embroidery - I've not come across it yet!

    Just been told - Church want 32 story sacks - better get started then. Plan is - I sew the fabric sacks and other Church members make the bits for telling the Bible story.
    I will need to label the bags so they know what story is where.

    morning all
    sweetcarer your band is coming along beautifully

    florenecem more beautiful cards, they are all lovely. hope the bags all work out well and dont take too long

    greentiger your cards are all lovely

    welcome back to those whove managed to pop back after a break. hope all the awol's are well and just too busy to pop in.

    i completed 4 bags of courage over the weekend, thank you so much greentiger for the info about them, i sent an email to the people who organise it in the uk asking if i could take them directly to my local hospital to save on postage and got a lovely reply back she asked where id found out about them and also asked me to pass their thanks on to the person who put their details up so a huge thank from Be Child Cancer Aware in the UK to you greentiger. i think the lady who emailed me may well pop into the thread and update us with more info

    anyhow here are my completed bags so far
