To insert a picture what you need to do is upload it to somewhere such as photobucket. Do you have an account like that? It is free and quick to register. Once you have registered there you just upload a photograph and click on the IMG code box. It will copy the code for you to paste here

If you already have uploaded your image somewhere else, this is the code to get it to show:

Just come back from spending a day helping my aunt at a craft fair at the local Steiner School. I really fancy making things to sell too for next year, or possibly even selling stuff on Etsy, it was lots of fun. All the stalls had such beautiful stuff, nowhere near as good as my creations, so I wouldn't aim that high for a stall there, but maybe elsewhere! I also got lots of ideas for things, thinking "ooh I could make something like that!"

Now to get onto my own crafts. I have 2 and a half pages of my felt book done so far! Another 9 and a half to go!

Edit: I meant to say thank you to everyone who came up with ideas for the letters of Christmas. I'm just stuck on "I is for" now as I changed a few things round and now have one of the S's for Snowflake and Snowman so not sure if I should have "I is for Icicle". Hmmm! But thank you loads!

Rainmac, I did get the shadow boxes from Home Bargains but they've sold out in mine now. I bought a few ages ago and never bothered to open them, when I came to use one the other day I found they were all damaged - one of the pieces of wood had come away so I had to super glue, I was very annoyed.
I am really jealous at everyone selling stuff at fairs, it sounds like so much fun - good luck to you all. There's not really anything like that where I live.
Thanks pinkladymel and Rainmac, I am pleased with some of my stuff, other times I just feel like throwing it in the bin.

nemotoad - if you've already used icicles along with the snow how about 'icing' (as in icing on the christmas cake) ?

Be interested to see this when its done as I want to have a go for baby grandson for next christmas..........I know he'll be older by then but - well what the heck...........I want to do it anyway.................lol

Oh Rainmac, she did get them from Home Bargains. They sell them in mine. You know that weird aisle where they have like ornaments and tat.. it is up there. In a brown cardboard box. I could get you some and post them but they're quite heavy. Let me know :xmastree:

Thank you so much for the offer I will have another look in my HB next time I'm in town and see if I can find them. I really shouldn't start any new projects for Xmas as already have more than I can handle :rolleyes:
