In the word of Bruce Forsyth..... Didn't she do well......

I can't believe my name appears along side the club greats of Martina, Marian and Trevor. I am truly honoured.

Bring on the rest of this season - although once again, I may have peaked way too early lol. And I really feel with the quality of these three images you can see how I've done so well - snigger snigger - Note for 2017, learn how to take a good still life image.

Gloves for the raffle

Our annual raffle for the camera club is here again. Last year I made two camera bean bags (similar to the one I made myself) - here. This year, fingerless gloves. Hopefully someone will like them enough to pick them up for themselves or as a Christmas gift for someone else.

Very much like the second set .... may have to make another pair!!!

Christmas is coming....

So our annual secret Santa has arrived for our QQ group.  an early decision on what to make was easy - just a matter of what colour scheme depending on the recipient!

An advent calendar with a twist....

Soooooo, with cardboard scissors and a massive pot of glue off we go....

Can you see what it is yet...

Ta Dah......

 

Such fun.......I'm really not sure how robust the whole thing will be, and certainly wouldn't survive a household with little hands but I hope it will last for years to come.  I'm off now to collect all the little red beads that pinged themselves across the sewing room as they fell off!
