old_fogey - lovely makes.
My Dd just called here with £25 from bits sold at her school - all goes to my SA Corps. All the aprons and mugs of chocs sold. I have just 2 bags left and some pens. Must get on with some crafting for the next lot for her to take to school.
I finished some more Easter cards.

Lovely Easter cards @Florenceem! I have a purchase to confess- a paper making dackle. I always have a lot of scraps of paper, and I saw a video of someone making paper out of their scraps- not sure how well I will get on,so just bought a cheap dackle for £4.30 and have seen a second hand blender to turn the soggy paper into smooth mush.

emsi_b - I had a paper making kit - never used it - went to the charity shop long ago.
Finished another 5 Easter cards - that is it for those this year. I have some Easter cards left from last year - will be posting them off on Monday.

Hi, I've not been very productive lately as I've been really struggling with Tendinopathy and Sciatica. Anyway, GP started me on medication two weeks ago and at last I am feeling a difference. Just hoping I keep improving and get my life back.

Today I cut out fabric to make a table runner for my son. It's an interlocking square pattern I bought from Etsy - it was really confusing putting it together but it's started to look like the photo. 

I've also been knitting and hoping to finish a cardigan soon.

Happy crafting xx

No new makes to report but I did head to the craft show at the NEC recently and fall in love with Embroidery machines 🫣 not too much spent...so far.

Decided to try out micro crochet - not used cotton thread yet but working my way towards it. This was using Anchor freccia 12 and a 1.5 crochet hook. Working towards cotton thread and 0.6 hook

Lovely Easter cards Florenceem and great cucumber trellis Poppy_Golightly!
Cute crochet Auti and hope you feel up to crafting soon plumduff.

I have been giving cards to a local charity to send to their members so have been using up various bits and pieces although there are some repeats but I've been enjoying it

Cupcakecraftscuddlycanine - I always spent so much money when I went to craft shows at NEC.
Auti - love the crochet flower.

Two egg cups were among donations to SA - I have put chocs in and hope to sell them for fund raising.
