Florenceem

Auti - love your crochet make - so cute.
I stitched name labels in school uniform yesterday and shortened two dresses.
Finished more Christmas cards.

I now have 2 more school uniform dresses and a pair of SA uniform  trousers to shorten.
Have ordered narrow foam tape to attempt shaker cards. I did try today with the tape that I had but it was too wide.
More Christmas cards for my stash.

Good morning, lovely and sunny here but still quite chilly.
@Auti I love your soft toy. 

@greentiger and @Florenceem Lots of beautiful cards
@daisy_1571 great idea to hide that mark

Ive finally finished sewing the buttons on the cardigan and scarf. I've had the yarn for several years and still have 300g left. I'll have to think of something small to knit with it. It's Aran weight so I might do something for dgd. She loves pink.

Absolutely stunning plumduff 🤩

plumduff55 - fantastic knitting.
I tackled the uniform trousers first - had to cut off 6 inches. All done now. Last pair I did - free of charge - chap said that one leg was shorter than the other! What a cheek!. I told him it was his legs or how he had the trousers on. I have measured this pair and they are exactly the same length

Great makes everyone. I must get back into cardmaking!

Particularly loved that table @daisy_1571 what did you use to stick it? Would love to know how well it behaves too! 

Good to see you back @sammy_kaye18

Made 2 Shaker cards.

Beautiful cardigan plumduff
Great cards, I love a shaker card Florenceem. I have just seen your question about whether or not I sell my cards/ fundraise and no, I don't (except to my MIL). I just enjoy making them I wouldn't know where to start with selling but thank you!

Lots of beautiful cards @Tiggermad and @Florenceem - the shaker cards are very pretty. 
What a great idea for the map table @daisy_1571 - I might borrow your idea for a chest I have in my to do pile.
Sorry about your painting @Soontobeoap, I hope it is OK now.
Cute cuddy toy @Auti
Great knitting, as always @plumduff55

I made some more  magnetic book marks, I used some old cross stitch for some, as a trial. Next time, I think I will do some cross stich on banded aida as it might be neater/easier to finish.

hello
I've been away for more than 5 weeks, done some crafting (& recovering from dreadful journey too!)

My made list is: 1 shopping bag (teacloth) 1 pyramid pouch, 87 cards & 12 crocheted angels. I sold the angels & 56 cards.

I went through a lot of craft stuff and donated quite a few punches & a few stamps to a charity shop.
 I was really annoyed to discover that many of my foam ink pads have perished so I will need to replace some of them. I've seen Versa colour ink pads in the shades I want online.

Before I went away I made a couple of pyramid pouches as gifts and managed to make them 7 1/2 " rather than 6". (Counting the zips in the bag is no longer foolproof as this batch had 3 mismade at 3" or so!)
 

Here is one of the cards- made 6 of these in different colours. I bought the stamp in a cs last year for 75 pence so it owes me nothing!Pyramid pouches for my friend's grandsons. In the 'thank you' video they seem to like them!



Tonight I ordered some more Starmist & some more dog fabric - managed to spend £25!

(Then just went to amend my signature & it was about 90 characters too long! some serious editing required)
