    Made 2 cards today, which takes my total up to 5/100. Will try and post pictures again later when I have a chance to take photos of the cards.
    Still need to make a tag, but I've got a stiff neck, so taking a break to make dinner!

    Hope everyone is having a lovely weekend. Glad your printer is sorted out Craftingmad :)
  • Hope everyone's having a good weekend, took mum shopping but then decided to have a break from the paperwork and managed to finish two WIPs, a sweatshirt and the binding on a lap quilt for mum, both started last year, but now complete. Next week I want to concentrate on cards I need for the next few months so I'm not making them the night before as usual.

    Now completed 6/52:T

    To quote just one message just click on the quote button at the bottom of the post you want to quote.

    To quote multiple messages click the button with 2 speech bubbles for all but the last post you want to quote. The last one you need to use the quote button.

    The quotes will be within square brackets. [] with the word 'quote' between the brackets (along with the name of the person you are quoting and a postnumber, ie QUOTE=loopychriss;76758794) at the start of the quote, with [] with '/quote' in it at the end of your quote.

    Hope that makes sense.




    She's okay thanks, she just has quite complex health problems, so she has lots of hospital appointments. I craft to de-stress from caring before her and my husband.

    Glad she's ok kathrynha :)

    I cannot seem to multiple quote so I've got issues too loopychriss if its any consolation :(

    Thank you Kathrynha for the explanation. I've tried and tried but it's still not having it! Maybe it's because I'm using my phone, I'll try using laptop later. I always used to be able to do it years ago....

    Sending hugs and love to you and your family, crafting is a good way to de-stress.

    Nothing from me Friday, although I have used up some oddments of wool crocheting curly cues to go on my twiddle mats.

    Getting the sewing machine out today so watch this space!!

    I cannot wait to hear al about your sewing makes loopychriss :T:T:T

    I'm declaring a further 4 makes towards my total. :j:j:j

    I've made a photo frame, two angels in my pocket and one mini seed pack all for orders I've received over the last couple of days.

    So my total now stands at 127/2020 :T:T:T

    Well.....it took me about 3 hours to sew a fiddle mat, with lots of ribbons, a little pocket and various buttons on it. I don't think it's any quicker than doing the knitted ones, and it certainly isn't as neat! It will still serve its purpose though. Think I prefer knitting them, I'm halfway through another one.

    Not really in a sewing mood, but I will keep the sewing machine out for a few days just in case!
