Hobbies and Crafts

Sorry, manners, I meant to say thank you Island for the wool sale tip.

Thank you for the yarn link. Some lovely yarns on there.

My hands are lovely and warm now.
Take care

When my sister was clearing out she found some photos that were in amongst my dad's stuff after he died (2001). I have just done a scrap page with four photos of daughter from birth to 11 years old. Enjoyed doing that one. Makes a change from cards too.

Ann They sounds lovely , I made a album of when D was born up to about14 years of age also one of S from birth to present day , Charlie is next and one for the little girl next door, btw did you get some pics I sent over Easter not sure if I used the right mail addy...got some more to show you when D puts them on for me....coloured some white die cut shapes with various ink pads ,, so you can have any colour you want or two on the same shape....very interesting.....

love Jean xx

I think I may have got them on the IPad in the evening and forgot to check them next day Jean I'll have a look.

Jude, I hope we will get a running commentary on your photographic course on here. When does it start.

As nobody has been on lately (I know Von is away), I assume nobody is doing any craft work of interest to us. :-)

Hello Ann:)

l have got the voucher number through now, so l can get started as soon as want.....:)))

l have just added more pics on my blog of baby and grandparents:)

jude ;-)

Shall have a look later then, on the IPad at the moment while soap watching. I assume the course is a correspondence on?

Ann, I'm itching to get into more crafts (especially 'messy' ones :-D) now that i have more space, Thing is.....that space needs lots of attention first!

Jude, your grandbaby is sooooo squidgable :-D :-D gorgeous.

PS.......I gave up waiting for the whirley thing to stop so clicked on the back arrow - hey voila! my post appeared on the thread.

hmmm...... :-S

Just seen this on FB

To all my Crafty friends, please be aware that if you order from Crafty- Emblies that orders of mine and several other friends have still not been received after nearly 10 weeks despite lots of emails. They do some lovely pieces but just not worth all the agro.
Luckily my order was less than £20 as it looks like I will not be getting mine as not replying to emails.
They do have a big website and are on YTube but their FB page went woosh after I posted on it.

so please be aware.

Island, let us know what you decide to 'get into' when you decide.

I haven't been on here for ages and didn't realise the blog and photos was back, so will have to have a look if I can remember the site!

I have been making all sorts of jewellery including crocheted wire necklace. I'm now knitting up a bag to felt this weekend. Has anyone else done one before? I'm a bit worried how small it may shrink in the washing machine and whether I need to put soap powder in with it?

Could end up with a purse Ann :-D

The blog is only back because I deleted some off the start. I will keep going until it seizes up and then do the same again.

I hope not Ann. :-) I'm trying it at 40 degrees first and hope that will shrink it enough to be felted. My washing machine sometimes 'sticks' on a programme so I will be watching it like a hawk.

I just had a look at the blog, there are some lovely things on there and I see Jean is still producing her lovely cards. Those bubblewrap things are amazing Jude.......I could decorate my bag with those!! :-)

your jewellery is on the blog now Ann.

Thank you Ann, I'll send a photo of this felted bag I'm doing when it's finished.....if it works out ok!

Just looked at your jewellery AnnX...brilliant, very talanted:)

Your jewellery is really lovely.
BTW I do a 60 degree wash for my felting but it will depend on the wool you have used.
Looking forward to seeing your bag
Take care
Von

Just put photo's of a book mark l am making, but need advice as to how to finish it.....please:)) The base is plastic and l have made bubble wrap leaves and added beads. Would it ok to just attach an edging or a backing or both. If l back it it will take the effect away of the plastic mesh which l like....any idea's greatfully received:)
