The regular stall holder who sells cards wasn't at the table top sale yesterday so I took cards along. I sold a few.
More shaker cards - I sold one of them.

I’ve been pondering a piece of driftwood I picked up in Scotland at Easter,
……..now sanded, waxed and made into a clock!I don’t need a clock, I made it to sell but I like it too much 😬

Thank you 🤩plumduff55 said:@AlwaysAllie love the clock4 -
Great cards @Florenceem, lovely and unusual clock @AlwaysAllie
I have finished the last of the lavender sachet kits. This one I didn't particularly enjoy doing as I found the purple hard to see. I have organised all my embroidery floss, so can now do something other than a kit. I have started a Christmas decoration. I am making curtains, so it is quite nice to sit on the sofa in the evenings and do some embroidery.

Morning all 😊
I’m quietly following along in the background and enjoying your makes. You have inspired me to try again with a lap blanket I was trying to make for my mother a few years ago. I was about this far into the blanket before but because I had gone wrong in the pattern on the foundation row I had to keep remembering how to keep it ‘wrong’ as I worked up the piece - it was doing my head in! I have started again, and am now two repeats of pattern in 🤩🎉🥳 and have the pattern correct! Also, gave up on the bamboo circular needle and switched to an aluminium one - what a difference!I shall quietly continue 😊 whilst researching how to recover the yarn from the frogged bit. I think I need to wash it to make it relax again ….? 🤔
