hello! sorry greeboswhiskers, i was caught up in cleaning and decorating but i am here now! thank you for posting your likes and dislikes, and for the email! i've replied to you on there, and i have now added this thread to my watch list and i'll make sure i come in more often!

Whizzz I have completed your swap.
I just need your address and I'll post it on Tuesday.

good grief people - you lot finish before i've even started thinking about what i'm doing

The only reason I got it done so quick VV was that I've got loads to do before my craft fair and I happened to stumble on a pic which inspired me, so I thought I'd better get on with it while it was fresh in my mind.

I hope you like it Whizzz.

Us Yorkshire folk are like lightening I tell you, aren't we NBG?

Too right

this thread has got me thinking I was given a set of 1970's Golden Hands magazines when I was a little girl. I wonder where they are...

Hoorah! Finally decided what I'm making NBG & have ordered 'stuff'
and of course whilst I was ordering 'needed' stuff, I also bought 'not really needed but might come in handy some time' stuff - OOps

How many of you are finished?!! And there's me, still flicking through my collection of 60s stylecraft mags. Had a rummage through my Twilleys 60s/70s crochet patterns but nothing suitable in there, found a 40s snood pattern but not sure the glam GM is a snood type girl

i'm no where near finished but i have started - which is ultra-organised for me

I haven't really started yet.. pan on having a craft blitz friday... though i have an idea... i can say on here becuse my swap partner isn't a mumsnetter... two items one will be a drawing/painting old hollywood style.. a bit like the ones i did of louise brooks.. not sure who yet... and a felted flower brooch with that tourquoise/teal felt I have left and some red to it.. as those are my swap partners fav colours... I could do with a red button though for it...

now where could i get a large red vintage(y) button from...

mmmm......now who might have one of those?!!!!

vintage-- am doing a trial run flower brooch with a burgandy ish button i have .. will email you later.. everything is a mess here... do you have any of said colour buttons? only really need one i guess... right off to go cook DH's birthday apple pie

i'll have a look for you 2morrow - no work and ds at pre-school in morning - bliss

VV - do you like bags?

..... like handbags? not really . . . i used to but need ones big enough for nappies/spare clothes/ snacks etc now!!!

i'd love a tote/shopping bag that i could fold up and keep in my pocket so i don't have to use the "evil" plastic bags!!!!

[hmmm] back to the drawing board for me!!

Vintage looking fabric may be the way to go

dizzy make me what ever you fancy though - i'm sure i'll love it

It's trying to think of something that's the problem!!!

NBG - yours is all done & ready for posting I do hope you like it! Hopefully I will be able to get out to the PO tomorrow.

psssst, dizzy, have you seen this tutorial?

GM - ssshhh - I've already seen that !!
