Thats a good idea emsi to let your little boy colour the cards.I thought I might make some Easter cards for family that I would usualy see but this year wont iyswim.Bloomin eck the price of card. I am a skinflint,with postage it would be 25p per sheet.I wanted yellow but I have a little stash of white card somewhere.I need to search for it.I was thinking today of the lovely cards I used to make with the children when I worked at school. The same every year with Y2, finger print primulas on pink card for Mothers day and yellow white and lilac embroidery on binca on yellow card for Easter.finger print penguins or robins on red card at Christmas. I miss working with children very much,particularly art and craft lessons.
Came to sew the jumper and the front had 4 rows more than the back! undone and reknitting.

All I have managed to do this afternoon is sew up this little hat. I put whiskers on it twice but couldn’t get them right. Photo makes the ears look odd,but they are the same honest  10/12

So cute, I love it!

The easiest pattern ever if anyone wants it.I do them with pompoms on the corners too.

Loving the hat, yes please to the pattern, it looks quite easy XXX

Haven't done much, whenever I sit down to watch TV I'm picking up my crochet - making a blanket.  It's slow going as I've only recently learned via YouTube and I'm not that quick!

Today I finished upcycling a mirror for my bathroom.  Had all the bits for a couple of years, and decided today was the day! 

Total now 71/100

Nice work loopy Chris.Your makes are lovely.love the wool colour.Are your mirror items things you have collected from the beach?I will get onto the pattern tomorrow.I have made so many of the hats i should know it by heart.
Got Mr V to print off a simple baby cardigan pattern from pinterest.Bloomin 30 pages with a couple of lines of pattern.Still not finished the other little jumper,my excuse is my Mum has the buttons.I have been gardening today,cold though.

I haven't been on this thread for a while because I've been tidying my craftroom. I'm in a wheelchair and been spinning around in my craftroom just because i can 😂 i now have a floor. I've just made an easter card with my silhouette cameo. One day i will learn to use it properly 🙈 does destroying quite a few bitsof card in the process count as destashing 😱 anyway think I'm up to 10/35 i have lotsof unfinished makes aswell. I'm very busy 😂

Thank you Vulpix.  Yes, I live in Herne Bay and have been beachcombing for a couple of years now.  I find all sorts when I do my beach cleaning too!  

I wasn't sure about the wool colour, it's called mustard, big ball from Aldi.  Wasn't sure if there would be enough for my blanket, so I've introduced a dark green too now.  Will update with picture later.

Love the colour your crocheting with and you've made a fab job of the mirror - well done!

I love beach combing and adore sea glass.I couldn't live ay further away from the sea.I live in the Peak District national park between Manchester and Sheffield.
I have spent most of the day trying to understand the printed off knitting pattern.I think it has been translated by machine and makes no sense.I gave up on it and did my own thing.It's looking ok.
