Ah understood! Have the fabric sorted, yellow gingham and yellow with big white spots. Have backed with a piece of unwanted pale yellow curtain. The whole thing will be edged with gingham. Just need to find some quilting wadding now! Hi Aly, I was quite surprised to discover that wadding (or batting, as it is sometimes called) in French, is ouate. I couldn't find it in my dictionary, but Google came to the rescue!!

Am considering making Things in Driftwood, only one Snag, am unable to get any ! Several People , have said they will try and find me some, but they had better hurry up, as it is wild along the East Coast come Winter. Meanwhile, have several, different Crafts lined up. Concentrating on my Xmas Card Orders at the Moment, there are never enough Hours in the Day, with all this Preserving.

Concentrating on my Xmas Card Orders at the Moment, there are never enough Hours in the Day, with all this Preserving. Tina, I bought some driftwood online, after beach-combing, we didn't find enough, so I bought some. Our son, has his bedroom decorated in a tropical theme, and daughter and I wanted to make a wall decoration in driftwood. We did, and he loves it. For example - www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SMALL-DRIFTWOOD-100-SMALL-PIECES-OF-HANDPICKED-DRIFTWOOD-FOR-ARTS-AND-CRAFTS-/122664563494 for just £7.99.

Thanks Val, will have a look, but Son, picked me up some today from the Beach, may not be any use, and it has rained all Day, so not been able to get a look at it, he has dropped it in the middle of the Lawn, for some unknown reason. x

Had a look, Val. and think they could be more like I need, as Rob's Pieces are quite big. Won't know till I can get Outside to view them. And also not sure what I will be making with them.

Yesterday, I thought I'd have a go at sorting some of my fabric stash, and came across some little rectangles 4" x 3.5", but all in Christmas fabrics, so today I made a table centre - ha ha it was meant to be a table runner, but it isn't big enough!! I'd been thinking about making one, and this find gave me a nudge!

Well done Val! My wool stash is getting out of hand, despite having bought the Ikea storage unit specifically for my yarn earlier in the year (or was it last year?). Anyhow, it all seems to have multiplied and there are now several bags of yarn in the spare room.... I really must try and get back my crocheting mojo, it seems to have done a runner!

I have just reduced my fabric stash by making curtains for the chicken nest boxes! Apparently it will encourage them to lay their eggs in the right place! 8 fat quarters used up! I am nearly finished with my latest blanket so will get on to the next one before the new cal! I too have a huge stash!

The revamped nest boxes! A bit rustic but it is the chicken barn which is very dusty! Remains to be seen if they will use them!

They look like pairs of colourful bloomers! But if they work, so what?! Well done on your initiative, Aly.
