OK OK!
Well after giving my excuses earlier I settled down for a night in and then only remembered about the craft at 21.15 when Tom sent me a text. How could I just forget?
So here are the results of the craft challenge. The aim was to complete 3 craft projects by yesterday. Only two people took me up on the challenge - Jo and Sue - that’s my mum. I can assure you that Jo and Sue did complete 3 projects but I only have the photographic evidence for 2 projects each, though I think actually Sue’s (mum’s) rolls might count for more than 1 project as there are 3 of them.
In no particular order (there are no winners here….)
Sue
Sue would like to present some fancy bread and a patchwork cushion. This is no ordinary bread as it contains herbs from her garden, obviously winning extra points as herb growing is a craft in itself. Credit is also gained as the cushion was made as a present - she is not even keeping it!
Jo
Jo also gets extra points because how on earth do you make things with metal? Silver at that. That takes skill. There is obviously more than one invitation so extra points go to the amount of units in this project.
Me
I probably lose a few points for doing only one of the original projects on my list. However I think I make up for it in the red bag as this includes a zipped pocket, 5 panels, velcro and a popper. I also gain points because I actually made 2 of the book bags (brown canvas with pale green paint) and Mira - one of these is on its way to you.
I am having a craft break for a little while. It all became a bit too much like work with a deadline…however I have 3 new bags and I managed to use 2 of them today.
Well done.

by the way, everybody scores bonus marks for completing their work in a timely fashion because i in fact only completed 1 project for thursday.
official extensions were provided for the other 2 assignments, which are now due next thursday.

I am overwhelmed by our cleverness. I think probably learn about this craftmaking project. By the way what is Jo’s 2nd photograph? I hope you bring your red bag with you it looks lovely.

Jo’s 2nd photo is her invitations and the piece of paper with the instructions about how to get to her wedding. What does your second sentence mean?

I don’t know really. I think your blog has taken away some of my writing insert ‘the government should’ in between ‘probably’ and ‘learn’. Hasn’t Jo got lovely wrists?

Yes I almost gave her extra points for being such an excellent hand model.

By the way I don’t think Jo made that huge diamond ring on her finger. That would have been very impressive, especially if made from scratch from coal.

I think she would have won outright if she had done that.

Wow, Sarah I am absolutely gobsmacked! HOW talented are you? One day you will have to teach me your crafty ways and I too can be a Craft Jedi too!
