mostin Posted June 7, 2009 Share Posted June 7, 2009 I have a few ideas, but not sure if they definitely fit the 'summer' idea? I'm a bit worried about mine that way too , but I figured as long as it's made by me, with care and love and effort, with an omleteer in mind. Surely that will be ok won't it , I hope .

craftyhunnypie Posted June 7, 2009 Author Share Posted June 7, 2009 Homemade or handmade by you - that's the only real rule! My sewing machine is coming out in a minute. Parents called this afternoon. I did a cream tea for us all, which was quite bizarre on such a rainy yucky day. Was nice though! Hubby is barbequeing later - he's mad! I didn't get to Dunelm - I'm going tomorrow instead - going to raid the cupboards & see what I can re work & recycle into something!

craftyhunnypie Posted June 14, 2009 Author Share Posted June 14, 2009 Funny you should say that. I am very into pixies / gnomey things. I have 3 Danish good morning pixies & they are soooo cute. I will have to take some pics of them so you can see. Perhaps they can help me? No I'm not making shoes - wish I could! You're all totally mad aren't you?

craftyhunnypie Posted June 14, 2009 Author Share Posted June 14, 2009 Why do you think I hang out on here? It's the only place that accepts nutters like me. Well I have just bought a book on making quilts. The craft shop I went today had some fab ones & since coming home, they played on my mind. There are no clues there as to what I'm making for my swapee - totally unconnected I'm afraid! That will get you all guessing. Not quite sure how I'm going to make the small part yet - to go with the main prezzie. Emma.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fizzle Knit Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 Blimey, don't say that, i've not finished the main item yet!!!! Not quite sure how I'm going to make the small part yet - to go with the main prezzie. Emma.x Now I'm worrying - main item, main prezzie - wondering if my intended gift will qualify as a main bit, and even if it does should I be including something extra?

craftyhunnypie Posted June 14, 2009 Author Share Posted June 14, 2009 Perhaps I worded that wrong . It's a thing, with a thing on - if you understand what I mean. Don't delve too deep - it will drive you mad! ( or madder than you already are) Emma.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cooks Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 that made me laugh! I did change mine a bit, but only minor changes when a friend gave me a hint what my swappee would like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddie Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 I'm still loving my sheep dish cloth from the Xmas swap; it gets used nearly every day, with time off in the washing machine only. So Thank you for that one, its still lovely, and gets thought about every time!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chook n Boo Mum Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 Hello stranger Freddie ...are you summer swapping or has your wrist put paid to that, I'm supposed to be making a 70th birthday card & a wedding card, so shouldn't even be on here don't tell DH !

craftyhunnypie Posted June 15, 2009 Author Share Posted June 15, 2009 My smelly chickens from Xmas are still hanging on my door - love them, they make me smile & I like to hear the beads clatter on the door, when I go in & out. My Easter bag, gets used sooo much - also love that to bits as can stuff loads in & it gets lots of comments. Both things are really special to me as they mean friendship. I don't have any true friends around me - they are all on this forum! Emma.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
