Hello all.
I have come out the other side' lol of mammoth crafting, that is.
Remember I mentioned the Retreat Online? That was the weekend after my last post, well it was fabulous. The goodies etc in the kit were incredible. The makes were superb and we had a lot of fun 'together' in a FB room. Loved it. After that I have spent two weeks preparing my All Day Christmas Class in a Box. I am inspired by the ideas from the Retreat makes ( all with the organisers permission)
I had eight to prepare and finally got them finished by Friday night, they were collected on Saturday by the ladies - not altogether but it was lovely to see them all and have a chat. It seems that everyone approved of their kits and are thankful to have them to work on in the coming weeks.
I have not photographed my table as I have tidied a lot away.It was carnage in there! So some photos of things that have been on my table the last two weeks. Hope you enjoy.
All packed and ready for collection.
As well as everything needed to make the projects I included some gifts and treats
Well there are other makes but maybe I will share those later.
I also made a card for our granddaughter who was 11 on the 30th October.
We looked after the guinea pigs last week as well
So as we enter Lockdown again I continue to worry for everyone our eldest son on the frontline and rest of family. Our eldest grandson does his Mocks next week - the results of which may be very important to his final grades.
Our youngest grandson has been offered an eight week trial at Sheffield Wednesday Academy - not sure now what might happen.
I hope to visit many desks this week. Why? Look at Julia's Blog to find out :-)
Hope to be able to link up, like LLJ I have had lot of problems for months getting onto Julia's Blog hoping it might be easier now. x
I'm determined to do my rounds of my favourite blogs before I get under a pile of sewing this week...it just didn't happen last week.
ReplyDeleteIt's so good to see you joining in the fun today and wow haven't you been busy. I really love all your fab makes.
