Chicken bald back

[HennyPenny]

I'd love to join in too! Can we include 'foodie' presents - like home-made jam? I do knit but have finally started knitting a jumper for Richard that I promised him for Christmas 2 years ago so that's taking up most of my time!

 

Thanks

[craftyhunnypie]

I have a few things in progress - not decided which it will be whizzing its way in secret santa's sack. I love handmade & homemade. I will sit , admire& study for hours how someone has made something & that to me means a lot.

 

Has a cut off date been decided yet?

is 30th November too late?

 

I want people to have a good chance of making something, and then a good chance of getting it in the post (but not having to spend a fortune on postage to get it there in time for Christmas)

 

any suggestions would be gratefully received

30th November sounds good to me.

Saw your thread on the nestring box page Paola and glad you're taking the plunge

You might not be saying that if you get my secret santa gift

[Valkyrie]

Sounds a good idea. I will have a go if I may join you. It would be needle and thread things though.

With regard to likes and dislikes, I would appreciate anybody's hard work, but I don't have pierced ears (rather they would have extra holes if I was meant to have them! )

I would like to join in please.

Are you sure you aren't potty already?

 

Templates drawn and cut out - now for the fabric, then test to make sure it works - fingers crossed!

[Cooks]

yes ever so slightly

[Valkyrie]

That makes two of us then!

Put me down - I enjoy making things and I have a few bits and bobs on the go for this Christmas. Also its a lovely chance to recieve a nice pressie from another talented Omleteer - will make a refreshing change from much of the store bought junk that gets passed around at this time of year - any gift made by someone is a gift worth having.

 

oooh I just thought - I will be away from 21st Dec but that shouldnt' be a problem shoud it? I know I'll have everything sent out well before then because last minute at Christmas can be a nightmare!

 

I don't know if I'll get to open my gift on Xmas day though - I'm travelling to the US and they have LOT of restrictions on what you can take in, which would be hard to get round if I didn't know what was in the package.

[Guest]

Only a couple or so weeks left until sending off of items...exciting isn't it!

Homemade & handmade things are so precious, as I think they mean a lot more than anything money could buy.

I am only just starting mine today. I am really looking forward to this

[ubereglu]

That sounds interesting, wonder what it is?

 

Hope we are going to have a thread with photos at Christmas. Its sure to be really diverse.

 

Got mine ready

[Valkyrie]

Looks different to what I had planned, so had to improvise a bit - but not finished yet.

Now I've made it sound awful - DD likes it and so does my mum, so I might have to make some more! I am worried it might be a little on the small side, but will have a surprise too. Still, beats doing the ironing (I know I'll have to finish it one day . . . )!

In between I have actually finished my table cloth patchwork part, the backing arrived this week and so has been washed - and ironed. Now the wadding needs to be washed and preshrunk so I can put it together to quilt in time for Christmas and stop OH whinging for the 3rd year running! Nooooo not enough time!!!
