Great price :T I told myself I couldn't add anything else to my 'to do' list but those snowmen are very cute aren't they...

Awwww those sock snowmen are really cute! I can think of a millions places in the apartment to put a little family of those come Christmas!

Well the other half has just left for his first day at his new job and so I've got the whole day to myself too sort out my crafty bits and pieces. I was thinking of using this week to finish that canvas painting of Eddy I showed you all way back!!

rainmac - those sock snowmen look so easy that even I can do them (she says hopefully.............lol) so bet you could knock a few up in next to no time.:T

Siren - don't forget to show us the finished 'Eddy'.............:T

Siren, can you give us a warning post first so we know to expect Eddy as he is a bit scary

Mary, yep, think I've got to have a go at the snowmen and didn't think of making them in different sizes so we can have a family gathering of sock snowmen

Can see me coming back from my Mums with a shopping bag full.......taking an empty one with me so I'm being optomistic.

Want to get some cheap 'baby socks' to do 'smelly feet' - fill them with lavender or potpourri for folk to put in their sock drawer......well, blokes anway...........not us ladies......................lol

Now I don't believe that for a second! Your frames are stunning, I am so impressed! I don't really paint things but I love paper crafting so I'm trying to absorb all your ideas so I can [strike]steal[/strike] adapt them

Can you explain the stuff you mentioned, can't remember the name now... I don't know many of the clever products. I made a huge batch of marrow chutney from a recipe on the grocery challenge so I will be doing some HM type tags for them I think to give to people, maybe with some kind of clever name for it, to go with their leftover Christmas turkey :rolleyes:

hiya Sian I think you are asking about Staz-On? I have waffled too much to remember now! Staz-on is a permanent fast drying ink that you can use to stamp on pourous surfaces such as vellum, glass, plastic etc. If you used a normal inkpad it would just rub off and never dry.

As for the label.. how about something like.. "To-marrows Turkey Rejuvenator" I don't know Im fast turning into my mom here.
