finally completed. One little snow suit. No more babies due at the moment so this will wait for a winter baby. I love this yarn. It turns a simple plain pattern into a soft snuggly item. I bought all of the wool to make this in Aldi last year reduced from £3.00 to £1.50. Very pleased with that.

Oh, @Soontobeoap, that wee onesie is so cute and snuggly!
He he, looking at the cards, you’d never know I’d rediscovered my die cutter!!! It’s back in use for this month’s cards.
Thanks for the kind words. The wee jumper is a great stashbuster – and I am overrun with odd balls of wool - and they work up really quickly. They’re not for anyone in particular; last year’s lot went, in December, to a charity collecting warm clothing, so no doubt this year’s makes will go to some similar project.
Keep up the good work, everyone.

@florenceem you have been busy. All of the makes are cheering me up whilst I sit here with covid! Managed to escape it up until now so I suppose it is our turn. I absolutely love the hot air balloon card. I was wondering if it would be possible to quilt the design. Beyond my talents but I am sure that someone could.

I absolutely love this!!plumduff55 said:Brilliant post @greentiger 😃. I read all the posts on here and intend to make comments on the lovely makes then I forget !!! How do you do it - guessing i should be more organised.
Reading your post made me remember my oldest grandson who's now nearly 13. When he was young he loved dressing up and was always asking me to make him outfits - so for his 4th birthday I made him a Batman costume and I was Bat Gran 🤣. We both wore our costumes to his birthday party. Such a happy memory ❤️

Worth a shot @sammy_kaye18 thanks for the idea
Thank you @greentiger it means a lot.
I've been making bags to put all the bridal party and groomsmen etc things into this week. I'm 3 bags short 🤦🏼♀️ but will look through storage for more rather than buy otherwise I'll have to improvise! 11 done so far, 9 to go!
Whilst doing it I thought I'd better make two easter cards aswell!
