Be brave, SP, I promise I'll leave the pointy stick in the cupboard.

He's the first teddy I've ever made, and now I can stroke my ex neck muffler and not feel so silly.

You may feel a bit silly if you go shopping with Ambrose Edward clutching your neck however!!

i’ve been making C******** tree decorations. Not showing you because I’ll be prodded with the pointy stick

You can't tell and then not show. We want to see. Show, show show.

(It's not twirly. Honest, VC)

Oh yes, please do SP...I'm just on the process of drawing up a few ideas for my Xmas craftwork too!

I love him Mothhawk!!


SP....be brave

I'm starting a cake on thursday, I haven't made a huge amount of cakes recently but last month I made a cake for a special friend - we've been friends for 33 years and mostly followed each other around country and we have now both settled in the south west so chuffed to give her this.

Wow Scarlet. Stunning. To pretty to eat!

Thank you SP!

You Xmas decks are lovely, I may nick your idea .... you are super organised? How come??

I'm off to look cos may be just the thing to do with my niece. She is the crafting queen, even got a drill ( age 11 ) for Xmas so we could work together.

Minimal sowing needed, but a bit fiddly.

I love upcycling old clothes with patches and appliqué, so much so that I’ve recently sold my publishing business to do it full time...gives me more time for the garden too!

Love seeing everyone’s crafts - so many talented peeps on here.

Haha! Not as bad as my son using a sat nav app on his phone - while I was driving!! He was constantly changing the voices and most of them were in a different language OMG! KIds!!

I found an old Simplicity pattern for a nightshirt I last made in the 90's, so I thought I'd make another. ( last time I bought some it was about £3 per metre, now it's 3 times that )

It should have buttons down the front, but I can't be doing with messing about making buttonholes

And did you need more materiel as well and I am not saying you did, I am simply asking if you did
Oh and I prefer buttons down the front

No. When I first made one it was very loose and large. Now it fits to perfection.

I think it is great how some folk can adjust patterns to make them fit actually you lot put me to shame I can't craft anything nor paint, (not even a flat wall)the only thing I can draw is my breath (OH says if I don't stop snoring that could be coming to a stop) and the only tune I can play is from the wireless, radio for you more modern folk, or younger but keep them coming they are great to see
Thogh I can use a needle and thread how else could I keep my pockets closed
