Oooh how do you make doggy duvets? I’m looking for interesting ways to use up my still humongous fabric stash, despite me having culled it three times since we moved house 😂Katiehound said:I haven't had a count up recently but I am about halfway through my packet of 100 zips! so the pouch pouches keep getting sewn.
Having a rest from doggy duvets, down to only half of one, but then found one beside the SA clothes bank. It was stained but that washed out. Charity shops don't want these things. When I am home next month will put out a 'I need duvets' plea!
had an £8 spend recently: 4 x packs of envelopes, cellophane pockets & silicone glue all for card making. Forgot that I needed to buy some light blue ink pads online, they will have to wait another time! (For my blue baby cards)
Started a knee blanket & managed to do a few inches on a cruise, only another 33 inches or so to go.
I have an order for 2 dozen crochet angels so that will keep me busy.
Off to pack stuff in the car........thankfully there is a breeze today6 -

Lovely to see everyone's makes.
I'm struggling with my crafting mojo at the moment but have made a 20th anniversary card for my DH.

I checked my little notebook and the last things I did in my room are dated April ! Felt a bit better this afternoon so did a bit tidying and found some zips id taken off clothes I got rid of earlier (when I made wallhanging). Id cut them roughly out the clothes so I unpicked them properly. The little bit cloth around a skirt zip reminded me of the gussets in patterns for a mouse toy or pin cushion. So I used the scraps and made a little mouse.
The pink inside the ears also from a jumpsuit used in the wallhanging. I'll give it to Mr d as I happened to be wearing the skirt the day i met him. Its his bday soon.

Finally finished the lap blanket for my mum
I have a couple of balls left, plus the yarn that is (badly!) knitted up that I need to recover, so I think I’ll make something for myself. In the meantime I have moved onto a pretty cross stitch for a complete change of activity! 😊
