  • Thats really good!

    I think eyes and whiskers would finish her off a treat!

    These things can become addictive...!

    LOL we need to do a craft/cheap shop swop! Is it because we are at the ends of the country??? Do people in the middle get the best of BOTH worlds?? :confused::confused::confused: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:


    I just had a look at the eyes I bought, why do they make them in a pack of 25?? :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

    Socks might work, not sure about the knickers, not thick enough or enough fabric (unless they are granny knickers:D ) Just try and see what it looks like.

    Yours and mine both Ginga!

    First he had the hampers/contents to contend with and now it's flannels!!

    Did anyone see the lunchtime news on t.v.? Apparently there's a shortage of flannels in the shops. Women have been seen bulk buying in a variety of colours and fighting has broken out over the brown and white varieties. A manager who was interviewed said "I don't know why they're panic buying but our staff overheard mutterings regarding rabbits, reindeer, muffins, swiss rolls and cake slices. It's most frightening, I can only assume they are out on day release basis". :eek:

    Hi I'm Becca BTW. Dutch sister to Mumoftwo. :D

    Been reading along, and my sis and I have had some lengthy chats about gift and money making idea's.

    My family thinks there is somethig seriously wrong with me because every time I sit at the computer I'm laughing my head off!!

    :D

    He thought I had lost it for sure tonight when I came home with 6 bottles of Dove and Axe products and heaps of matching deodorants. I tried to explain to him that the pound shop was having a sale... but he still looked at me like :eek: :rolleyes:

    :D

    Have a look in the Early Learning Centre
    their packets of eyes are only
    a £1 a pack theres loads in them all
    different sizes some even have eye
    lashes on them which would be good
    for mumoftwos bunny which by the way
    is really nice.

    Mumoftwo: How cute is that Bunny!!! That would look great holding an easter egg!

    Make her a little face indeed. That would make it just right!
    Maybe you can do the hands (since you said you weren't happy) like she has her arms folded. You know : armen over elkaar.
    Sorry don't know how to explain in english. And she'll be craddling the egg like... snap?

    :D

    This above is so funny

    I dont know if it was a coincidence
    but in the large Asda I went to at
    Huyton, its massive on two floors
    They had sold out of 20p flannels
    and a distinct lack of the kinds of
    colours you would choose to make
    cakes.there must be lurkers we dont
    know about,come out,come out
    where ever you are,we dont bite !
