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 Craftingmad0 -
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:T0 -
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

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'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.

"I cannot wait to hear all about your sewing makes loopychriss "
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!
