Morning
Hope you are all well and your crafting is going to plan, I Have updated my list
I think that I'm going to print a photo of each of the completed projects I do this year and put them on the wall in the craft room. It may help with inspection.


1 Crochet a jacket for me (1st attempt) Completed
2 Christmas cards X 12
3 Knitted Jamima duck
4 Lampshade for craft room
5 Patchwork bag completed
6 Recover my dressmakers dummy (an on line purchase) completed
7 Finish crochet blanket
8 Knit OH Aran jumper for Christmas
9 Make necklace
10 Dress for friends wedding completed
11 Christmas cone decorations
12 Present for DD
13 Crochet owl for G D2
14 Bin for craft room. completed

Another project completed, I don't think it has ever taken me so long to make a dress, ended up having to alter the top as I'm only short, but it's done now that's the main thing.

Will post photos later

More lovely makes on here.

I finished making a needlebook. I used fabric to match my other sewing items. I lined the needlebook, couldn't find pink felt so I used some fleece type fabric from my stash.

Needlebook looks fab florenceem I have yet to get back in the full swing of making. I have the afternoon off work tomorrow and once I have run some errons I am hoping to sort all my craft area out. CraftyCrafty I love the idea of putting pictures up in your craft room!!

My tags have arrived over the weekend which I will be putting on to my scarves and stamping with 'handmade with love' stamp my mum got for me.

I've edited my list again as I didn't do the Easter things on it in time and have brought a new stocking kit. In may I added a letter for my mums birthday

1) snow place like home cross stitch, I did this years ago but didn't know how to finish it off/present it so my first is to learn how and back it onto fabric and add to hanger
2)bucilla felt wreath sewing all the characters/items (it's a huge task so I'm splitting into two DONE
3)assemble and finish the wreath
4) make Christmas Eve crackers, a sample one by Easter and finish them by august
5)design and make a girl 'baby washing line'
6)design and make a boy 'baby washing line'
7)make Christmas cards for each family member and closest friends
8) Dumbledore letter DONE
9) make 'finishing touches' stocking for my Dad
10) Make a glass pebble/marble magnet DONE
11) Joy Christmas stocking- nearly there
12) decorate a wooden wine box and fill with gifts DONE
13) Decorate a champaign bottle and present it DONE
14) bucilla advent calendar



For Mums birthday I gave her an IOU for tickets to tour the Harry potter set. As I didn't have the actual tickets to give her I did a special letter instead.

I've not tea bag stained anything since I was at school but used a wet tea bag to make a piece of paper look like parchment, while still wet I sprinkled a few grains of coffee on. Then I wrote in green pen as Dumbledore himself wrote in green and added a red seal with a H on the back. On the front it had Mums name and our address but with 'master bedroom' added.

The letter said;


To Mrs D George

Happy Birthday. You are invited to Hogwarts. Sadly you are past the age limit to be a student, your too tall to be a house elf and have CSE's instead of OWLs so can't be a teacher.

Due to this we are inviting you following a bribe from Vikki. You will walk down Diagon Alley, enter the Great Hall and see Hogwarts from dawn to dusk.

Vikki will also bribe us to give you the devices to hear about what your seeing,

Enjoy your visit,

A Dumbledore
