Anyone fancy a card challenge?

[Dingle]

I am in chaos here with the extension going on . I have moved my stash to it's new home but it is in complete turmoil!!!!
I have been trying to keep afloat in the school hols but my crafting has taken a nose dive.
I am attempt to "be prepared" does anyone fancy joining me in a weekly challenge for Xmas cards and maybe even a few pressies?

Lovely cards Dior, but yes,the cat one is something special...you know when you want to see it in the "flesh!"

I am still to make my 5th card and it is absolute mayhem here! They took our bath out yesterday and are temorarily re-fitting in the "new bathroom" today...when I say bathroom, it is a shell of a room, no ceiling, no plaster board or plaster, a boarded up opening for a window, no electrics , just the frame of a stud wall in the middle of ..well...nothingness!! LOL...gonna be fun bathing the kiddies tonight! I have been going through things all morning and have electricians and plumbers here, plasterer and carpenter are due later too...and this afternoon I have a meeting at the school re. DD's support and therapies!!
Hopefully things will calm down for an hour or so but I cannot get into my craft room as the plumbers have the floorboards up in the hall!!! Might sit out in the conservatory for a while a do some knitting but it's NOT going to get my challenge done is it!

Is everyone set to make their new target for the coming week?

sorry to hijack!
gingermonkey- saw your merrylegs and cats and really really want to order some but cant work out the etsy thing . can you email me at claire dot jillings at tiscali dot co dot uk please and tell me what i need to do?! thanks

hijack over!!!

ooooh, thank you - your hijack is most welcome

poor dingle- nightmare trying to lie ina house being renovated.

I'm off to a crop tonight so hope to play ith my new H20's

But did you enjoy doing it 'Frau?

Whatever has been achieved...or not...is past now. I hope some of you want to join me in this weeks challenge too!

Just name your aims!!!

Me...er well, seeing as I failed my target last week by only making 4 Xmas cards and life on the homefront looks no calmer this week, in fact probably worseI had better choose my aim carefully.

This week I need to make:

1 retirement card
2 birthday cards
3 Thank you cards for the Down Syndrome Group
and I have 4 teddies to knit!!

So if I do that and make ONE Xmas card I will be a happy crafty bunny!

Sooooo frustrating....after years of wanting it, now I have my craft room (OK it's not organised yet)BUT I cannot get in it! today aLL THE FLOORBOARDS ARE UP AGaIN FOR THE ELECTRICIANS (oops sorry for shouting!) We will get there eventually, perhaps I should shop buy this Xmas!

I have bought a new seed beading book which arrived today & I aim to make something decent from it - I am going to have a mooch through it now [

(currently I keep half-mkaing something & then taking it to bits)

blimey dingle. I think you get a week off from xmas cards with that lot!!!!

This week (by tuesday) I aim to have finished the 4 horses I have cut out this morning ready to sew plus I have to do 2 cats today. And those christmas decorations that are sitting half finished...maybe I'll finish off a couple of them.

This week we have:

Dingle
1 retirement card
2 birthday cards
3 Thank you cards for the Down Syndrome Group
knit some of the 4 teddies to knit!!
ONE Xmas card (if I am really lucky)

Whizzz
some seed beading from new book

Dior
X-stitch wreath Xmas card

Gingermonkey
Finish 4 horses
2 cats
perhaps a few Xmas decs too!

This is a great idea Dingle as it makes me get my stuff out instead of just looking at it !

I'm making thank you cards for when I have the baby- can't show them though as they are coloured

Also making christmas cards and a christmas planner - although I doubt I'#ll finish that by Tuesady. Got the new kit from Bubbly Funk today and that's what i shall be using for the planner

Ooh, Ooh .... can I join in please ?

I've been on holiday and didn't have access to the internet so I've been starved on MN for a week or so.

I've skimmed through this thread as I've got so much washing & sorting to get through so daren't spend too much time on here.

I make cards from my own photography but my dog and horse 'making' has taken over rather.

Would some kind soul please fill me in on what I have to do ?

I have Tuesday's and Thursday free'ish as dd is at Pre-school so my intention is to keep these day's as my making days - unless the carpet gets too crunchy, then I'll have to get the hoover out.

For those of you who haven't seen my stuff before (Hi Gingermonkey) have a look in my profile.
