I can't see your pic lal

 

I don't make anything (except a mess!) but used to love making stuff years ago.  Nothing exciting though, just random things in my early teens

I can't see the pic either.

I knit and occasionally make cards but not like the ones on create and craft with all the professional looking stuff on them - not artistic enough for that

Can you see it now??

I can't see it, Lal.

I'm doing some crafts for a pay it forward group (5 gifts for five people)

 

I've made a dog bandanna, a sock monkey, a lavender cushion and now I'm working on a felt cat door stop 

...How about now?....

yes Lal - they are fantastic 

I give up trying to post pictures..

 

Well done Pengy that sounds like fun,always nice to have a reason to make things..

Can see them now lal. 

 

It`s best to click on your picture..it`s bigger on photobucket. 

 

Well done..they`re great!     

Very impressive Lal 

I made my brother a birthday card last year, it seemed more personal. Didn't look nearly as good as your ones though. 

  Would like to see the pictures, Pengykins 

I love making things, I'm just not that good at them   Here's a couple of things that I made

 

 Nice one Pengy

 

Didn't you make a doggy Santa stocking once? That was brill 

I did  This is the doggy bandanna which is a slip on to a collar one rather than a tied one 

 

Sweet does a lot of crafts Lal .

They're great Pengy......My little dog is called Archie he would love that bandanna..

Well funny you should ask, yoday i'm making furry stuffed rats for my daughters world book day costume (on wed) she's going as the pied piper

 

I'm liking the cards Lal, very nice

 

Pengy i've told you before about that lavender stuff still love the monkeys though

Heh heh perfect for the well dressed doggie-about-town, Pengy. 

 

 

Heres my rats (on string for a pied piper costume) I know they look more like mice but i did my best without spending any cash

I dont have any particular hobby in crafting, but i am crafty

 

I go though phases of wanting to create something, and do and then its out of my system.

 

I suppose the one thats stayed the most is baking and sewing belly dance costumes. I recently finished a peacock one that was so labour intensive. literally thousands of glass beads all over it, but it was worth it in the end.... and ive worn it ..... once *blink*

They're very cute Jenstar. The idea of homemade rats-on-a-string makes me laugh so much 

I think they're great Jen 

They were tied to her belt trailing behind her and her recorder

ROFL  

Jen they are great....I bet your daughter looked brilliant!!!.....

I bet you looked Great too Gyps....

We want pics of teh Gyps in her beady belly dancing ensemble

I've been meaning to post in here for days now. I'm going to load this thread on the mobile site so I can see your pics I LOVE crafting! I made my own cards and I love to sew, I'm about to start a project that's a cushion gift for a wedding

Aw lal your cards are brilliant! And I love pengy & jen's creations too! I'll try to pop in from my computer soon so I can show you some of my stuff

these are some pics of it,   You can see on the close up of the side cut-out that each bead is individually sewn on, none of them beads are your applique malarkey

Gypsie, that costume is stunning! The design is beautiful and the detail is fab.

You must be incredibly patient to stitch on all those little beads. I am very impressed.

ahh, thank you. Its not as bad as it seems, when you are sitting watching telly at night, you sort of start doing it without thinking. It took me a month to make it, on and off. But i think if i sat down and just did it I could have done it in about a week, maybe about a week and a half.

 

I find sewing really therapeutic.

Gyps that's so nice, you must wear it more than once after all that effort!

Yeah, I will, but i already have an idea for a red one that im itching to start. I may bung them on ebay or buzz (a belly dance forum) and sell them *thinks of the money*

Loving the 'Yarn Bombing' on Saltburn pier

Saw that on the news Sups, at the time they didnt know who had put it there lol

I remember ages ago, about 3 years or so. I was driving home through the new forest and decided to get deliberately lost.  We ended up driving through this little villiage and all over the place there was these scarecrow type people.  It was the freakiest thing EVER they were bending over garden walls, popping out from behind the post box, children ones were sitting up trees that overhung the road, some where queuing outside shops, cutting the grass etc.

 

It was properly scary. I still have no idea what that was all about, for about 2 miles just all this freaky stuff going on. I googled the village name when i got home and couldn't find anything on it.  

 

People do strange stuff.

ahh, i just googled it again and turns out, it happens every year . Here is the link from last year. It was a whole lot freakier when i saw it...

But I like the idea, like the yarn thing that people just do random stuff.
