Loopychris if you need buttons,I have masses I could post to you.

Vulpix thank you so much for the offer, but we have literally thousands now between us all, so are going to use these for now.  But will keep your offer  in mind for later in the year if that's OK.

Nothing more from me yet, I'm staying over at my dad's tonight so am having a break.

Still 66/100

Sorry not been about or checked in, been busy with trying to keep mum safe and with food and so on, typically her fridge decided to stop working in the midst of it all. Have finished my PJ bottoms, but nothing else, have done some bits but all still ongoing.  Well done  on seeing some gaps in your stash Vulpix, wish I could say the same:# .  My sister raised money for the scouts so hoping to make some things she can raffle or sell to try and use more stash more quickly.

Beautiful cushion @vulpix  

Hope to be back with an update in a few days just having a bit of a rough time with my health at the moment and its just seems to be appointment after appointment which is draining mentally as well as tiring.

Hi everyone, I'm so sorry for my absence again. I'm pretty bad at this it appears! 
I had to take some time out as we have just found out my mum has lung cancer and the news hit us all hard (especially my two kids) so we have ben spending all our free time together so had little time for crafting.
Its wonderful seeing how much progress you have all made whilst I've been gone and I'm in love with the makes I have seen photos off. I really must try and upload some pictures of my own creations but am afraid you lot will put me to shame.
I also have to admit that I have spent some more money of craft supplies which I really don't need and hopefully will send lots back when they eventually arrive but when I'm feeling down it seems to be the first thing I do -log online and buy pretty things to make things with (or in my case add to the piles of supplies I already have
However now I am starting to get my head around mums diagnosis I am trying to see the positive in it and am thinking of all the things I can make for her using my stash. I have already put some of my felt mountain to work and made some felt flowers for her although I think I did lose all my fingerprints in the process as I burnt myself so many times with the glue gun I lost count! But mum loved her flowers so that's all what matters.   
I'll count up what I have made in the time I have been gone and report back to you all soon.
Keep up the good work so I am shamed into no more crating spending sprees

So so sorry to hear about your mum craftingmad, it's so worrying when someone you love gets that diagnosis.  Can they treat her, it's amazing what medical science can do.  Thinking of you all, much love, Chris xxx

Thank you ladies. They are going to start radiotherapy asap which they hope will give her a few more years (she is 75 now) and she is happy with that so fingers crossed it goes well and we can have more happy memories as a family. She is being very upbeat about it and is now living her life like there may not be a tomorrow and I'm trying to remain positive but every now and again it just hits me again and I cannot stop sobbing.
