Hi, everyone, it's been a while since I popped in.
sweetcarer, your stitching is exquiisite; that white on white is stunning, but it must be so difficult to see what you are doing.
Florenenceem, your commitment amazes me - well done again, for cards and bags.
I have finished a baby quilt I had started last year. Now I'm hoping the intended recipient has a daughter
Oh well, if not, I'll be making another more suited to a son.

Hello everyone
Love all the crafty in this place - the bags are cute, the crochet is well done, the cards are beautiful, the sacks - wow, the wee quilt - wish I could do stuff like that, you all do wonderful stuff.
I have now completed another band in my twisted band - band 5 - this was all cross stitch.
Band five
and a wee close up for you
Taking a wee break between my samplers to do a wee wedding stitch for one of the girls at work. People may wonder why, when some at work are not good to me - why, it because I am me and I like to.
Need to get my shopping list sorted ready for going out later - sit down and work out where is all cheaper for things - best bargain so far is £2 for 3 bags of sugar.
Keep well everyone

I have finally added Project 14 to my list - Make 50 Morsbags. I'm on my way with 6 made from faded curtains I'd washed and folded ready to put away until who knows when. Then 50 Morsbag labels arrived in the post so ...
