Weekly Challenge Thread (New one, can't find old one ????)

[Tillyboo]

I don't know what's going on but this is the third post I've tried. If this fails I'm going to give up.

Anyway, I can't seem to find the old thread for some reason, my laptop is doing funny things so maybe it's at my end?

Anyway, I cannot see what you all have achieved so far this week but here is my blog with what I have done or you can have a peep in my profile but the pictures are quite diddy

Whizzz, they look so complicated, they really are lovely. I would happily pay £10 for one in a shop, but I know how tight people are at craft/school fairs (after this weekend's experience - someone actually said £2 was a lot of money for a small fabric brooch thing Cheeky beggars!) so I would maybe say £5, but don't think that it would be a fair price at all (does that make sense!?)
Howling, that's a lovely corsage - well done!!!
I need to send a pink and lilac horse to RH tomorrow (been poorly with a headache all day today, think a day's work has knocked it out of me, lol!) - with an extra something for DD (don't worry - it's not a leftover lavender mouse )
Also need to get my mojo back and get listing on etsy (but camera is knackered so that aint gonna happen) and make 2 green and pink horses and start a llama.
I might make a few linen corsages so I have plenty for the next fair in a month as they don't take long.

lucykate pops in having found both mojo and glasses, sporting a rather fetching new bracelet that arrived this morning, been much admired on the school run, thanks whizzz

glad it got there safely Lucykate

well done dingle, you've done loads!

Because it's been rubbish weather this morning I've managed to finish the two birds I started.
They are here on my blog.

I'm having a nice cuppa and chocolate biscuit (God they are good) before starting on my next project. It was going to be an Angel but I'm trying to muster some enthusiasm as I haven't really a clue where to start.
I'm trying to think of something a little different ...

There has been lots going on in 'Crafty Towers' so well done to everyone !

I've finished another 3 Buggy Snuggles, don't have to make the drawstring bag any more (purchaser changed her mind!!)

BUt seem to have added a Tots Nurses uniform and a Paramedic uniform (both xmas presents requested by SIL), a Victorian style apron and need to make acostumer for DD's pre-school halloween party!!!

(Tilly..I knit them for a lady in London, so no I don't post piccies!)

someone has left me a comment - was it one of you guys? if not how do people find your blog? I've only mentioned it here...am intrigued

It was me!!

jg - i think the comment was left by dizzyday, i'm sure its her blog thats called sew to bed

Welcome to Blogland!!!

see, i was right!

LOL!! There will be no getting away from us now.....I'll have to get the whip ut again!

awh - thanks for the nice comments guys
I hope this blogging lark will help me keep up with you creative types

I've left a comment on your blog jeangenie - the tea cosy is fab

So far I've managed;

3 halloween bags (pumpkin, skull & eyeball with an optic nerve handle & part of a black cat)

3 hairbands - 2 in noro kureyon & 1 in twilleys freedom spirit (I now have orders from dd1, dd2 & dd3 for one each in different colours)

I've had a very basic attempt at crocheting wire too which wasn't on the list but I bought the wire & just had to have a go

thanks GW - I thought it was you
the loops weren't too difficult, involved lots of swapping yarn from back to front and using thumbs - quite enjoyable really
will find time to look at all of your blags later (supposed to be working at the mo') - I think I can get to them through your comments

blogs, not blags

we need a list somewhere, a mumsnet blog roll call (even cod has a blog you know , i've seen it)

i've just updated mine and also added a pic of whizzz's bracelet juts to make you all jealous here

I've put some pics on my blog of my christmas fair table (not the actual table, because I forgot the camera , but my mock up at home!)
Whizzz's bracelet looks fab (no surprises there tho!)
Actually, whizzz, I need to ask you about making something for my mum for chrimbo, if you get a chance.

GM - I just showed dd3 a pic of your emu & she says she'd like a green one for xmas. Any chance you could email me on [email protected]?

I most certainly can! (and have done!) Thank you very much
