  • the bowls were from woolworths - said £4 on shelf but they had a 50% off meaning £4 for the 2, i got to the till and they came up at £1 each!!! bonus!

    my son wants me to make them up for his teachers (4 in total for his class room! as job share). i dont mind but they wont be getting £1 coins or scratch cards, bags of gold coins on BOGOF i can manage, and a box of ferreo rocher and few gold pick n mix i can do.
    due to spilling coffee :coffee: on my keyboard it works when it wants to :rotfl:

  • Hi everyone - yummy-mummy-amy just wondering if you put lots of £1 coins in the cups as it seems that's all they seem to have in the pics?

    Stitched a Xmas cross stitch design last week and couldn't find a coloured frame to put it in so I bought a plain wooden one, sanded it a bit and painted it with red acrylic paint...

    My OH says he can't read what is says so if you're struggling it is "Tis The Season To Be Jolly". I added a bit of knotted rik-rak ribbon to 2 of the corners of the frame to give it a bit of dimension. The "I" of Tis is 'dotted' with a red star button so I haven't used glass in the frame.

    What do you think...?

    Great cross stitch Rainmac!

    Yesterday I had a cross stitch panic as I have so much of it to get done for things. I've only finished one pressie and one card!! :eek: Nearly finished my robin but I really need to get my fingers moving hehe.

    Will share the robin when he is done naturally!

    Keep crafting xxx
