Managed to partly destash some wood with a load of cutting done and ready for some makes this week.

Love the tips @daisy_1571 will keep it in mind when packing and repacking everything not just craft stuff. 

We finally have a bit of an update of flood stuff. All our damaged stuff has been listed and removed. But we have to provide values for every single item which is a big and emotional job. We also have building work started to get a second caravan and get both plumbed in so we can have a bit more space and have actual running water! 

3 cards made this week, had to use biros as card blanks was as about as much as I can find but I think they turned out OK!

suzeesu2000 - love the leg warmers.
Dizzycap - really cute Easter makes.
daisy_1571 - had the January lost mojo for a while and the lingering cough combined with Mr F not being himself. 
My Dd is back at work but still in pain after being hit by a car.
Hope I am back to crafting now.
A soldier friend was given a bear on her recent 94th Birthday - "Catherine" had no underwear so I made her some bloomers - used remnants of a cotton pillowcase with a length of lace.

Mr F needed a chair with arms as he struggles to get up since his time in hospital. I had a chair upstairs that he could use but it was hard on his bottom being wood. I made 2 circular cushion covers to fit the inserts that I found at SA. The fabric I used had been in my stash for years. I made a pattern out of newspaper.
The Physio is coming to see Mr F on Thursday - I had asked about risers for the chair but he may not need them now or shorter ones. The cushions do squish down when you sit on them but are comfy.

keep an eye on your local gumtree florenceem,  there's always people changing furniture so bound to be a fixed (rather than rocking) armed chair comes up in the next few months.   Mean time the cushions look great.
