old_fogey - this is my sewing machine foot bag I made. I made a cover for my machine as well for when it is not down in the cabinet.

@Florenceem I love that material. I think I have some similar. I have sewing machine cover on my list of things to do but have been sidetracked and seem to be making a teddy bear jump suit for a baby with wool from my stash. I keep thinking I should set machine up for day and do hand sewing or crochet in the evenings trouble isthe garden is taking up time now too. I am also doing a lot of cooking feom scratch too. Still it is good to be busy.

I’ve been very busily cutting out fabrics so my current stash is getting a fairly sizeable dent in it. 

I am wondering if I can maybe make some patchwork clothing items for small people as I have lots of lovely fabrics not quite big enough for a full pattern

@Florenceem super material for your bag and cover!  Looks great.
My machine has a hard cover, which is functional but unattractive.

Soontobeoap - I got a lot of the fabric at a reduced price so also made a cover for my Cuttlebug, Big Shot, Clover Iron, a needlebook and a pincushion. Plus a cover for my light box.

I love your tiny dressmakers dummy @florenceem. Is that your pincushion? Sorry but I am struggling to know what a cuttlebug, big shot and clover iron are. 🤦‍♀️🥴. I have so much to learn.

Hi, I've had my first ever massage today. I thought I'd treat my back, neck and shoulders as they are often stiff and achey with all the sewing and knitting I do. The massage was great but a bit sore when she kept finding all the "knots". 

I thought I'd have a very lazy afternoon just watching a movie and knitting.  Didn't work out like that as I fell into a very deep sleep and didn't stir for more than 2 hours. Totally missing the film 🥴 and feeling as if I'd had a hangover when I woke.

Feeling great now and my shoulders feel very loose. Hoping I'll be able to knit super fast now 🤣 and get dgd's cardi finished tonight or tomorrow.

@Florenceem ❤️the cupcake fabric

🤣😅😂 @plumduff55. Massage is supposed to be relaxing. You obviously needed it. Made me chuckle that you were so relaxed you fell into a deep sleep. Hope all of your k ots are gone now. Happy knitting.

Thanks @Soontobeoap and @plumduff55

Does anyone sell their crafts? If so where do you find is best? I have a bunch I'd like to sell as well as some craft products-like stamps I've never used-too

@Cupcakecraftscuddlycanine I sell mine - mostly through local craft fairs. I do have a Facebook page though and occasionally get requests from further afield
