Chloe, I'm using brown rice, turns out we don't like it very much to eat, but great for the weights! I'm using a pattern from Gathered, but instead of stitching the middle, I sewed buttons instead so they looked prettier (and I used more of the stash).

Cute pattern weights emsi .
For 2 days I have not been making anything whatsoever,it feels most odd to sit in an evening and have nothing to do.I have been cooking for family visiting tomorrow.Will be the first time my Mum has been out of her house since March.

Have a lovely day today Vulpix!!! I cried after my mum and dad left a couple of weeks ago. We will get to see them a few more times before nursery starts again and we inevitably all come down with something. 
I managed to get a little bit of card making done last night. Didn't complete them, as I didn't like what I did first time round and then didn't have enough paper downstairs for what I wanted to do. I've brought it downstairs for this afternoon's naptime, and I've also got a small pile of crafting bits to list on eBay too, so hopefully a stash busting afternoon ahead! It's a grim windy day here, so no desire to go anywhere at all, even a brief trip into the garden was a bit too blustery this morning!

I’ve actually managed to finish something. A peg bag for my sister. I have a blood blister on my finger to show for it. But have used up 8 bits of stash since last check in... 

81 / 400. 

The dress I’ve cut out is on hold. My machine won’t sew with shirring elastic and I burnout the bodice upside down on Directional fabric. Not impressed. I don’t know how to fix it. I can’t get any more of the fabric so I think I’m going to have to rebuild it in sections. 🙄🙄 I was feeling like I’d managed to do something before then.

nimbo,grrrrrrrrrrrrrr how anoying. Crafters are nothing but inventive so I am sure you can make a silk purse out of a sow's ear so to speak!
Had a lovely day Saturday.Seemed to be hung over yesterday????? Started a baby black and red Dennis the mennace jumper.

nimbo

I’m glad you’ve started something new. How long will the jumper take you? 

I’ve packed the dress away which was da tail. It’ll still be there in a year....
