Philip (sarah) Willis | 4630 comments Started making Christmas cards(EEEEK)!

Hubbie's and son's finished,also made several for MIL to send to her friends.
I made all my cards this past 2 years but don't think I'll have the time this year as I have so many other projects planned. I want to get back into my scrapbooking and have a cat quilt kit that I want to do! So many crafts ,so little time;@)

Karen Lowe | 1338 comments Yey, well done Sarah! I always make our cards - and always intend starting in good time as it's invariably a mad panic come December.
Am hoping the art class we're doing at the mo will give me some ideas.

Karen Lowe | 1338 comments Thanks Karen. Sorry not had much time to look at any new craft titles lately - trying to finish a few things before starting on the Christmas stuff. Oh, and I have made my first sugarpaste rose, practising for daughter's wedding cake! Wonderful what you can learn from Youtube.

Spent the last couple of days dismantling decommisioned mobile phone sites. This is what hubby and I do for a living these days! Talk about going from the sublime to the ridiculous - on Tuesday we were in the middle of a field in Wales, sun shining and glimpses of the sea - idyllic. The very next day, we are in Slough, on a roof top and in the pouring rain! Am shattered now - the Slough job was a big one and the lift didn't go right to the roof, so we had to manually carry the kit down a flight of stairs to the lift. Some of that stuff is really heavy! We take the working bits out of the mobile unit, which the mobile company then reuses on other sites. I haven't been online for the last couple of days to post the freebies. I'll do that now!

It looks an easy one and from a glance I'd say small, too. Don't know what your skill level is! She has some nice patterns in her printed books, too.

That's so kind, thank you! I'll have a look for a tape measure and PM you later. I'll pay for the wool of course.
That's sweet of you too Emma.
So do I Patti, I don't post much, but I do read the daily compilation email. As you know, I'm more of a facebook gal, but I do keep in touch with what's going on!

Back to the subject of wrist warmers, I pinned this lovely pattern onto my pinterest boards the other day. It's a crochet pattern of course, but free.

Karen Lowe | 1338 comments I seem to have rather a lot of crafting opportunities suddenly. Not just designing templates for the new Quilt Detective book, and of course all the Christmas stuff, but we have a wedding (2015)to plan/craft for, and a new babe (2014) to look forward to. Soo excited!


... or is it just me who thinks of a wedding as a crafting opportunity?!!
