Next crafting is going to be sewing.

Been sewing today - made 12 cloth pantie liners. The ones that I had - made 4 years ago were a bit tatty.
Used fabric from my stash.

Craft group are getting really creative and coming up with ideas for Christmas fair. I have had a lot of fun making these tree decorations out of curtain rings and tinsel wool from charity shops. I bought the mdf ginger bread men to put hats and scarves on but when they arrived they were a bit smaller than I expected. 😂. They look cute on these though. Photo doesnt do them justice. Have sent off for some bigger (Hopefully) gingerbread men for making individual decs with them. £5.00 spent.

Good morning, it's a lovely morning after a night of torrential rain. The sun ☀️ is shining now 
@Florenceem lovely cards and the cloth pantie liners are a great idea.
@Soontobeoap definitely time to start thinking of Christmas makes. I've done several hats and started some bags but I need to buy metal bits for them so they've been set aside for now 😳.

I've made a pouch out of scraps from a bag I made last year. I'll post pics of them both.
I have sciatica just now so plenty time for sewing as it's too painful to go out walking. I've been going to physio for 3 weeks but so far there's not been much improvement. 

I've cut out fabric to make another throw for my sitting room - I'm doing this as I needed a bigger project that'll take longer to complete. I only need to buy 1 fat quarter and wadding and my friend is going to take me to a fabric shop on Friday.


Happy crafting xx

Your bags are beautiful @plumduff55. Hope your sciatica improves. I had it 3 years ago for over 3years when they gave me injection followed by op. I havnt looked back since. I was constantly in pain unless sitting with my feet up. My hubby became my carer. I felt so old. Totally pain free now. It was like a miracle. Hope you have the same luck eventually. People dont realise how painful it can be.

Some lovely makes! I've been out at a craft class this afternoon- not counting the makea from that as i've bought the kit to make more cards with (oops). I will be able to use the dies to make more cards with once i've used up all the bits and bobs that came with it. The thread on the bit at the bottom of the pick was a scrap I had with me!

Lovely cards Emsi.
And beautiful bags plumduff, blue is my favourite colour so they are right up my street!

Nice to see people are still crafting. I'm in that funny lull where I should be getting on with presents for Christmas and the second half of the year (I have birthdays to make for too) but i can't get myself motivated.

emsi_b - very pretty cards - love them.
