Very neat and colorful it seems really popular now. I’ve seen patterns for jumpers and bags in magazines and of course there has always been blankets

Sounds healthy and a great way of knowing what your dog is eating. Are they a hit with the dog?

Thanks for the suggestion I might turn it into a blog post

Oh wow that looks really good you have worked fast. I like how you have used darker colors to show dimension to the flowers

Ooh they could make some cute dolls clothes, or something patchwork. I can’t wait to see what you make with them

I look forward to seeing it completed

You have made a great start! Glad it arrived and I hope it’s useful when completed

Good idea

We can’t get Kinder eggs here they actually are one of the most seized at customs items. We get the Kinder joy egg instead that is really nothing like and doesn’t have the plastic egg.

It looks very cool however will he sleep when he can enjoy that all night? It was interesting to see the construction process. I also have a Bluey like that… well technically the grandkids do😂 We all love that show

He is so well made, I love the detail around the eyes. He looks perfect on the post box topper.

Oh that looks so bright and happy for Spring. The rabbit is great but all the little flower details make it perfect. Well done, I hope it brings a smile to the community.

That is great, Liz, I love the little drawstring bag at the bottom I've made similar little pouches like this and never thought to add a drawstring bag. You have done a great job with the zip, did you not say you feared adding zips a while ago? You have certainly overcome that. It's such a pretty piece.

Well done Linda, you have done a great job, no one would know that it was your first time. I agree a piece of felt or similar fabric would be great underneath, You have a useful piece of furniture that will probably end up staying in the family for many years to come.

how lovely and kind of you to make it. Your embroidery is so good. My mom is in a nursing home now, she says she gets through a lot of soap as they bath her in bed a lot of the time as she can't walk very well. She also said they give her meals of course, and when I was talking to her once I heard someone ask her if she wanted some crisps but she said sometimes she would like a chocolate bar or something and small packets of mints like polo mints. Wet wipes are always useful to everyone I think, or you could just put an Amazon gift card in there, my mom orders things she needs on Amazon with her tablet and you can always buy audio books on Amazon if there is nothing she needs

Many years ago I bought some lovely stencils from a specialised stencil store n England 'The Stencil Library' in Stocksfield England, they were really helpful to me even though I was living in the US by then. Lots of places sell stencils in the US but I have not found anywhere with the sheer amount that the Stencil Library have, in the US, you will find just in craft stores, Michaels, Hobby Lobby etc. and it's pot luck what you will find. You might want to search for 'border' stencils as the title suggests they are designed to go around the border of something so would be narrow. As for where all the crafters hang out, we wish we knew. We are always looking for new people to join us but we rarely find them. On the flip side of that I have found specialised groups that just quilt or watercolor or make jewelry but no groups like ours for people that like crafting as a whole, if you find any, send them our way we would be glad to have them, plus men, do men not craft?

I love it Liz and the bird is perfect. That zip is sewn in so straight as well. It will be really useful in the car

It’s lovely, so much detail. Is that a pin cushion on the front right? That’s a brilliant idea! A wonderful project in a really useful design

i look forwards to seeing it completed. Lovely gift

I'm sure your hats will look really cute. When Euan was born the hospital put this knitted hat on him that was so ugly, It was so badly made in some ugly brown yarn. I am sure whoever made it had the best of intentions and I certainly appreciate they gave their time to make it but it really looked like a 5 year old being taught to knit had made it using the yarn that had been at the back of the cupboard for years because no one could find a use for it. It made me think about making some myself but I was surprised the hospital just put it on him without asking my daughter if she had her own, I guess they must have a surplus of them to just put them on every baby whether they needed it or not so maybe right now isn't a good time to make them
