    Hi ladies

    I have to say i have been a fan of this thread for a long time and finally had and excuse to make one for a expectant best friend, ended up selling a few to people at the party and word has spread so i'm going to try my luck at selling them - saw a post today for a craft fair, booked myself a table and now realise i have nothing ready - PANIC!!!!

    you have totally inspired me, but so far i'm excited to see how they go but scared too!

    Just back from town & I spotted some of the 'sundae' glasses in the £stretcher (plastic ones) & scooped them up cos I had a vague notion that they were to be bought if seen cheaply!!! :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:Haven't the foggiest what I'm gonna do with em now though :eek: crazy purchasing going on these days!!! Anyway they also had lovely coloured plastic ice cream spoons so some will be used in 'ice-cream' themed hampers for peeps with summer birthdays!!

    Off to search & see what they are used for for 'baby' gifts and have a play!! :eek: not a conscious thought in my head earlier so slightly worrying! seriously my house is full to bursting with 'baby' stuff - its managed to seep into every room in the house and my OH is getting decidedly 'miffy' with me - saying I haven't got a single room... blah blah blah :rotfl:I just tell him he's got the shed what more does he want LOL!! :rotfl:

    Thank god .... my mate is well happy with the cowboy cake :D
    I added some red, blue and yellow sock roses, which I think made a big difference.
    A creative mess is better than tidy idleness :D

    Chatty, I soooo love your sock monkeys. especially the white ones and the spotty one. Looks like he's got measles. :rotfl:

    Code, it was me with the blanket folding! Afraid I havn't mastered folding the oblong ones either. I fold some in a straight line and wrap around and overlap at the side (front) and fasten with a bow or I fold a bit of each side to make it square and try that way but it's not very good. You usually end up getting a thicker bit of blanket somewhere.

    Popkins - that so made me laugh! After all, that's what sheds are for arn't they? :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
    Me too, got stuff everywhere and still keep getting more.

    morning ladies feel like i have'nt been to bed, dd came up last night to wrap and omg did i need her help, she said she would try and get to meeting after work to help but i told her not to bother, well the house looks like a bomb has hit it ! think we got 11 cakes done , seem to have lost camera to take photos,
    the guy said they are expecting 2,500 people tonight, is that a lot, the way i am looking at it is if we went to races it would be £15 each so this way by taking a stall we £10 in profit and what i make will go on stock for the big weekend event.
    regards oblong blankets i used elastic in top and bottom and pulled them in wish i could find the camera, no doubt it will try up in one of the cakes
    bye
    must get on
