Hee hee - you will have to let us know how it goes Peter! I spent most of yesterday sorting and tidying my craft room - it looks fab now!! I have a shelf of recently acquired fabrics that looks very pretty.:) All I have to do now is wait for the 350 books I'm selling on ebay to sell and then I will have loads more shelf space to fill. Hubby thinks he is filling it with other books but I haven't told him yet it's for more crafty stuff!!
I meant to ask Seahorse - did you get much stuff made over the Christmas holidays?

Ahem, cough, what was that, ahem, work,errrr,ahhhh,errmmm.....well I have 3 bracelets and 2 necklaces(well 1 and a half as one is half done)completed.
I made my mum a couple of necklaces, badly made as I got the main bits then realised I needed gold coloured findings to go with the pendant colour, I didnt have any gold findings and couldnt order any so I made them with silver and gave them to mum as christmas/birthday gifts.
She liked them luckily.
I was also making some wooden things, so far they are kind of 50/50 re being sellable, my heart was in it but the items didnt want to join in and look good.Plus i only received them after christmas.
My excuse is that Im lazy and there was too much good tv on to watch, and too many maltesers forcing themselves into my tummy.
I have just bought some little bottles, no idea what Il do with them until I get them, and Im gona buy loads of beads for pieces I am DEFINATELY going to make, so Im not just mucking about.Still having trouble parting with money, seeing as Im expecting a credit card bill soon.Wish I could get over it.
Still a slowly but surely approach.
Another satisfactory thing is that I just ate a cheese n pickle sandwich I made this morning, I wasnt looking forward to it but I believe I made it with the perfect ratio of cheese to pickle, it was very yummy.
