Two more using up patterned papers

And finally some backgrounds using scraps (and a new cupcake stamp). These need sentiments to finish, which I will do over the weekend.

I'm trying to get back into crafting again so using some random bits up

Lots of beautiful cards @Tiggermad - I especially like the 3D flower.
Ive been out tidying the garden this afternoon - lovely mild weather. 

I've chosen 4 fabrics to make a boy's cot quilt. Thinking I might do a disappearing 9 patch and should have enough fabric to complete the front. I won't have enough wadding unless I join about 20 small pieces - no way I'm going to do that so will have to buy some. 

I started a crochet temperature blanket in January - I began with great intentions but haven't even started March yet so that's going to be my goal this weekend. I have recorded the daily temperatures 🙂. 

Happy crafting xx

The spoons are beautiful @Soontobeoap
Great cards @Tiggermad

I have been doing a lot of gardening as the weather has been good. I havent done much crafting, but did  repair some oven gloves, which I quite enjoyed!

Tiggermad - Love all the cards.
I want to get crafting but I can't concentrate at the moment with the problem with Mr F's mental health.

Hello!
As I have been away since early last month I have had a load of posts to read through on this and other threads!

Any way have been busy which is lucky as the weather was both chilly & wet
My stash increased (yet again) when I visited a friend en route and he handed me a large shopping bag full of fabric!

here's my list of 52 items made:
12 birthday / baby cards
9 rescue dog coats (already delivered to start their journey to where ever)
5 spectacle cases
5 doggy duvets (4 leaving this week)
11 shopping bags (the very end of that material!!)
4 bootees
4 mittens
2 notebooks

(and sold 24 cards)

and I forgot- whilst I've been watching the Piano & Jamie's meals online I have been getting on with the next crochet knee blanket which is going to be 36" x 36" (eventually!!) So, long rows but I have done 10".

The base colour is caramel brown- an inherited pulled down jumper and for the other rows I am trying to use as much of the 3 ply & 4 ply oddments (used double) as possible. Might not look amazing but will be cosy- the main thing.

Quiet bank hol today before I go back into work tomorrow. Cut a pair of reversible Dino dungarees for the small person in the house and have sewn them up more or less. Just a pocket or two to add, then will be time to pin straps in place and get making them into a finished piece. Hoping I can manage that once he’s in bed for the night

have now set up a decent system for getting scraps contained - and have decided as I always promised myself I would keep them and make thing… then didn’t I won’t be keeping them any longer! Instead I will bag them as I go and once the bag is full I will take them to my friend who quilts so she can use up the ones she likes and pass the rest to other quilters
