Okay, what about a red hot needle poked through to create holes? (knitting needle, bodkin.... held over a candle?)Being polite and pleasant doesn't cost anything!

20 cards made today. Only simple ones (a picture mounted on a backing with a little trim) wont bore you with the pics. Also got some stuffing and lock in eyes so have got back to crocheting an elf. I seem to have too many projects on the go all at once again, so I am trying to concentrate on one thing at a time. Cant settle with hubby ill as he keeps needing something so I am trying to do things that I can pick up and put down quickly. I am definitely doing more craft to ease the stress of ot all. Love everyones makes.craft stash 2023 =161, 2024 = 119 2025 = £25.96 spent, 128 made and 5 mended,

Katiehound - good idea but the needle going through dislodges the gems. I will be glad when this job is done.

Just a little collage of things I’ve recently made. Was only when I was taking stock photos I realised how many there were!

@AlwaysAllie Lots of beautiful fabrics.
@Soontobeoap Hope hubby is feeling better soon.
Yesterday I managed to spend half an hour in my sewing room and started cutting out pink/peach/purple scraps for a small quilt. I have to cut out 200 2"x 3.5" rectangles although I will just keep cutting till there's no more fabric left.
I'm hoping to finish the painting in the garden today. The weather has been so nice that I've been able to get on with the painting much quicker than expected although I am getting really fed up with it. 🤞🤞🤞that I get it finished today and can get back to my sewing.
Happy craftingDebt free - Mortgage free - Work free ( in that order
