Hobbies and Crafts

You are very clever too Jean......I don't know where all your ideas come from. There truly is a niche in the market for nice men's cards isn't there? So many seem to involve a glass of beer or golf clubs!! :-S

What a lovely gift for your daughter Moonbi....so personal too.....another clever lady.

Ann, a few of us at class were talking about Craft Fairs, the cost of a stall etc yesterday. We are using inexpensive materials to practise on at the moment and some of the things we make in class aren't always our own personal taste so it would be good to try and sell those. We said it would be good to get experience by making more things to sell as well.

The teacher made us laugh......she said when she used to set her stall out at Craft Fairs and stand back and look, she would end up sneaking a few of her 'favourites' back in her bag to take home again!!!! :-D

Thanks Jean.

Just had a look Ann and Moonbi and well impressed with them, you are a clever lot ....lol....
love Jean xx

thanks for the photo Moonbi, a lovely scrap page. I have done four lately so I must blog them for you all to see.

My daughter finished her last day of Grad/intern yesterday.
I made her a scrapbook page for the occasion.

Just had a look Ann its lovely...

Have a look at the lovely bracelet made from safety pins by Annx on the blog.

moonbi right now I would be happy with 32C :-D :-D

Moonbi I think I would crash at 32c but right now it's in the minus here in the Midlands.

Rob and I usually do the shop on a Sunday morning. Went to Tesco this morning instead so should the worst of the weather due over the weekend actually hit us for the next few days, all the special diets I have to cater for are sorted and because Rob is out tomorrow (Derby County game still on). It was packed. Waited for ever in the queue. Have no idea if it's like that because everyone else had a similar idea about the weather or that is what Saturdays are like now. But as Rob said, we'll stick to Sundays.

We walked out of the store and got hit by an icy blast blowing across the car park. Can only guess at the wind-chill factor.

Happy and safe and warm Saturday to everyone.

lets start the list with quite a few fat quarters of retro designs, and some route 66 souvenirs.

My niece just had a baby girl last week, so I have a reason to start a new quilted play mat. Ive already got girly coloured scraps that I can use. so today will be deciding how to fit it all together.

Very hot here the last week, not feeling very energetic at all. 32C today already
GR just crashed for me so I hope this gets submitted !

Okay Von,

Let me be the first to present you with my USA shopping list. Now, where shall I start? :-D

Jude
The freebies are usually good with good explanations.
The downside is that you get lots of emails.
However I don't find it a problem as I get the ones I don't want put into spam and periodically I check out the spam in case I missed something interesting. :-D :-D
I do get quilting daily and they advertise other things as well.
We are going to the USA again this year so I've factored in a visit to some craft shops to buy the things I can't get here.
Take care
<3 Von

It's quite easy really. There's quite a lot of information on you tube as well.
You can watch them doing it so not quite so taxing on the little grey cells. :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D

Had a look Von and it is interesting, probably not much on my crafts but the transfer looks interesting even if it did make my brain hurt :-D :-D :-D
