    Finished pink cardigan last night and knitted one baby bootie. Today's plan is to finish second baby bootie.

    Printers tray has been rubbed down and lacquered. I have cut out about 150 bits of wallpaper samples for the compartments so going to stick them in today and hopefully get it up on the wall!

    Need to get suitcases out of the loft this afternoon and make a start on the packing for next weekend. Also (and most importantly) sort out fabric and threads for holiday cross stitch project. I like to do a few stitches at home so as I'm not starting from scratch on the plane.

    Hello all,

    Not much stitching this week - stressful week at work but I did get to frame my wee stitch for Clare at work for her wee baby she had last year, she is just back from maternity leave so I will be able to give to her personally.

    Thank you for your kind wishes re: the competition - next year I will enter my twisted band into the cross stitch picture competition and I think I will take a couple of days off before hand to prepare for the baking instead of after work for the week before - think some of my baking were past good by time for competition.

    Was embarrassed earlier this week - I gave my banana bread to the guy who sits beside me at work as I know its his favourite. He had a visitor in a couple of day later and he offered him a bit and it gone a wee bit furry - could of died of shame.

    Need to work on a christmas piece for an exchange - doesn't have to be cross stitch so might do a wee pinflair christmas pudding and do them a wee pin cushion and needlecase to match (as wee extra:)).

    Keep well everyone

    sweetcarer ;)
    :j cross stitch forever, housework whenever :j

    Hello...stranger returning :o
    I have been a little absent for a while on this thread, and I am afraid not too much crafting has taken place, although I have got plenty of bits I need to do.
    I did make my little gift tags for the scarves which are for Christmas gifts yesterday, just need to find a nice box to put them in and display nicely with the headbands.

    As always, there are truly beautiful crafts being made:T

    I here-forth hope to spend at least 30 minutes per week doing either a full or part craft from my list.
    Christmas is the most magical time of the year :santa2:

    Welcome back Great pledge and the time would soon convert into finished projects
  • tried a new craft, it felt really strange deliberately turning pages and creasing a perfectly good book but im pleased with the results. ive made 3 in total so far. one each for the school libraries and im going to give one to a local charity shop. will make some more as gifts for book loving friends
