Hey Everyone,

So i received the most lovely hoop from puzzled-penguin, and its amazing, i really never thought i would like flowers (havent got anything "girly flowered" in our part of the house, and im seriously in love with this hoop. I will deffo be making a couple more to go with it .

Disclaimer - Sorry about the bad state of the photos, i still havent got around to buying a camera and had to use my iphone! As soon as i get some decent lighting i will take some better ones.

Hey,

Would it be possible for me to join? I love the whole idea of this and have been trying (since i started to craft) to successfully/unsuccessful (depending on how you look at it) to craft everyone something for the occasion which turns up. It's the main reason i learned how to do a wide range of crafts though my main focus is on any craft involving wool from spinning to knitting to felting and main crafts which use fabric as a base

Im also trying to get as self sufficent as possible, and when me and my other half manage to get our own house i want to be around 80% self sufficent so this will be really good for me. Dont think ive got anything before christmas but will go and write a list now

Wow i love this, its an amazing idea!

Hey,

Still alive and breathing, just about to do some pieces on my final piece, which is a poppet, very excited hope i can make her perfect

I also received my second parcel!!

5 fat quaters of marbled fabric and one with butterflys on , at the back is a coconut gift bag from the body shop and the middle bottom is a photo which Feline2001 took herself and processed, its amazingly ace!!


The handknitted needle case for my knitting needles when on the go


Close up of the habor photo, would love to know where it is


I also received two bags of sweets which my bf napped straight away lol, and a lovely handknitted heart which was supposed to be a pincushion but looked perfect for belle as it was really soft and shes having trouble with her jaw

Thanks Feline2001
