Here is another picture of one of the challenges I completed over on the just bex site.

Tomorrow sees us all back at work/school. I have been planning a few activities for the children to do in our after school club. During my blog hopping time I found a great idea to make a bag/basket from a sealed envelope. I know how to do it but don't know who to credit with the idea. When I make some with the children, I will take photos and if you know where I got it from, then please let me know.

I have been spending again and bought lots of bits at the Cheltenham stitching and creative crafts show. (See picture). I did think the entry price was a bit steep. £7 if you didn't buy in advance. I think I have been spoilt by gong to the Farnborough Make it show and Ally Pally last year. Over on the Just Bex site there has been a weekend of challenges. I have completed a few. Here are a few photos of my efforts.

I was reading back at what I had written and realised I hadn't put the pictures of how I made my little fabric chicken, so here they are.

We have had a really lovely family weekend. It was our sons 20th birthday on Friday and he came home for the weekend. (Works up north). The contents of the party bag has changed a little but his beautiful smiling face is still the same. I know he was feeling sad that he was leaving his teens but the death of a friend of his seems to of made him realise that life is for now, not what age you are.

Gosh, what a bad blogger I am. Note to self - Must write on blog more often.

I have no excuse for not writing other than I have been very busy sorting my craft room and making things. Mainly cards though I have got my acrylic paints out again to paint some wooden signs. The top picture is the after shot. I don't know why they have come out the wrong way but I don't know how to swap them.
