Well that time of year has hit us again - Dundee Food and Flower Festival - the book containing all the categories arrived in the post the other day. One category caught my eye, it involves using plastic carrier bags. So I contacted our local Asda, who kindly gave me some bags. Spent an evening or two cutting the bags into strips, and now have to loop them into a long strip ready for knitting, yes knitting. Once the project has been done I am to give them a picture for them to post up on their board as part of the re-cycling projects.

 Spent ages cutting the bags into strips and then making them into the balls. Knitting is well under way.

I am getting a unit from Storage4crafts. I am getting a bit of a windfall and thought this would tidy up the craft area, aka the dining room.  I have loads of the really useful boxes and this company make storage units that fit these boxes. Just hoping it makes the room tidier.  I just ordered the one meter unit. I also ordered Cropper Hopper ribbon boxes and have managed to store a good majority of the reels in them. I also ordered a metal ring and tag holder and have put a lot of loose ribbons on, need to get more boxes and tags.

*** update - unit here and fitted and it looks fantastic!

Made this beautiful card, from the Party Paws Luxury Card collection. I made this for my mother in law.  I had got the offer from Create and Craft, and then mounted the image onto an 8 x 8 card.  The image is decoupaged. I then used the buttons and paper ribbon from the pack along with gems. 

 

My little boy got christened in the middle of April, it was wet but we still had a fantastic day. My sister in law and her two girls made his cake and it was fantastic.

I go back to work shortly :-( but needs must.

See you all later
