They do it on the ONCE numbers-  the last 2 of a set days draw.  We have numbers 00-99  and folk choose a number so the most I can make is 100€  the last clown got 85€

Going to make a new clown for the vet to raffle.

My mum made hundreds of those clowns! Just about every one designed I think.

People really do like them. They're cute :)

The icing flowers are so delicate and beautiful mum.

One of my best friends loves owls - she'd love the patchwork owl. :happy:

The owl is just beautiful - so cute. And the decorations of the cake - look good enough to eat.  :D

Both are lovely Mum. I bet she loved them.

Just taken up painting at the age of 40, done around 10 so far, this is one for my dragon mad brother in law.



Here 3 in 1 shot sort of, I will have to get then off my phone properly and into a folder on the PC, the one if the foreground has had a tree added in the left and corner and the branches spread across to the centre.

Love the dragon picture - there is almost seems to be a Chinese/Japanese influence coming out there. I would love to see more if you have any to show us.  :)

Crikey those paintings are incredible!

My better half recently took part in a ladies' "Retreat" day at the local church that hosts the playgroup our daughter goes to every week.  She taught people to crochet, showed off the sorts of things you can make, etc, and by all accounts it went down pretty well!

Making up the packs for each of them was a bit of a faff (one crochet hook, half a ball of wool wound off, a little printed guide), but worth it as the feedback has been very positive.





Live like a peasant,
eat like a king!

There is nothing like crafting with friends.
My group of friends loves a 'Stitch 'n' B*tch' - we get withdrawal symptoms if we don't get together often enough!

Thank you very much, I will bore you silly with some more when I get them off my phone and onto PC  :D

It is good to get some feedback, the wife is biased and not to be trusted as even if they are dodo she will like them, which is nice of course  :)

Always wanted to have a go at painting but not sure why I waited until I was 40.
