Hobbies and Crafts

I've never posted on here before. I am so impressed by all your skills that I can't venture to show mine.

I have co-ordination problems so can't do decoupage, I can't design cross stitch but do love doing it. There must be about 20 kits in my room as well as loads of designs and books. and the equivalent of 3 sets of DMC threads.
I have done digital photography using Photoshop 7 but have got a bit rusty and need some practice. My dolls house is still not finished and needs some soft furnishings.
At the moment I am doing dressmaking classes and making my first ever trouser suit. My next project will be wigmaking I think, to replace all the hair I am tearing out. :-S
Is there anyone in Boston UK who can come and 'inspire' me?

I have so many things to do that I shall be doing them 'on the other side'.

I have slightly changed the title of this thread and changed the first post. that way I hope it avoids the accusation of the thread being cliquey.

Yesterday we were heading towards Gloucester when we saw some magnificent fields of red poppies.
They were stunning and despite being in a bit of a hurry (visiting friends)
OH stopped to take photos.
Incidently I keep meaning to say that the Society of Genealogists are running some scrap booking courses.
Take care

Glad you could eventually see them Von, thank you for your comment.

Ann
They're lovely photos. Thank you for sharing them
Take care
Von

Should be OK now

Sorry ladies. I had trouble putting the second lot on, then it added them twice, then I deleted one lot and it was fine. I have not been on pc all evening until now and it has disappeared except for the narrative. Very annoying. I will try again tomorrow. So time consuming.

Ann...l had the same problem:(

PS Can view the first of your Lake District ones but not the later ones.

My Lake District photos are on the photo blog

Nobody is posting on here these days, have we all stopped crafting?

Sort of given up now Jude it has obviously been taken by the tripod fairies.

Hope you find it Ann:o)
Enjoy your break:o)

Trying to get things together for a week in the Lake District. At the moment I have three camera batteries charging. But I am sooo frustrated. A tripod, even when folded down is not a small thing you'd think. How come then I can't find mine anywhere, not in the cupboard it should be in, not in any cupboard, not in the garage. Disappeared into thin air Grrr. I shall have to make do with the monopod.

2 photos from Caz on the photo blog

Those craft sites are soooooooo addictive.

I spent several hours last night surfing them and certainly it looks as if the big shot might be the way to go.

Large hints will have to be dropped round about birthday time :0)))
Take care
Von

Thank you everyone.
Jude I'll have a look.
Von :0))))

What does the big shot do??

Von..do you look at craft sites, like Docrafts etc, they have chat pages where you can ask questions and possibly get videos:o)
You might get simular by googling cuttlebug machine!!

jude:o) x

I have a cuttlebug which is great but not tried (or got) anything laminated to experiment with.
