I'm delighted to have much more time for Christmas crafting this year than last.
I'm making decoupage covered jewellery boxes for my niece and Mr Shrew's niece.
I have little clocks that look like owls for my mum and Mil, which are a mixture of painting and decoupage.
I'm also knitting soft toy dinosaurs for various friends, and a couple of pairs of handwarmers for other friends.
I love being able to give gifts which I have put time into, as to me it feels more special. Hopefully the recipients will all like them as well!!

Which reminds me that the Beloved's half-birthday dinosaur needs its legs sewing on. I had some half-baked idea about articulating them just before her half birthday and ended up giving her the poor dismembered beast. I don't think she will be getting anything crafted for Christmas this year.
The fleece for the fosters' blankets arrived today though - the colours are so bright! Just need a plan for the edging, I'm inclined to go with something like this, so I don't have to produce an even blanket stitch. There are four, though, which means each round is 5m of crochet. I'll probably operate it like a granny-square production-line and do a first round on each before I commit to a second round on any of them!

My sister has had her ears pierced, and I had a happy time making some dangly sparkly earrings out of Victorian beads from a broken necklace I picked up in Oxfam, with matching necklaces. Then she said she didn't really fancy sparkly, so I made some large dangly wooden ones from some beads from the same place.
I'm left with the sets of blingy ones and loads of fancy wooden beads to make more things from. Not many pierced ears in our family, so I need to find a good way of packaging the sparkly sets so they are priced well in Oxfam, if that's where they go to. Ideas gratefully received.

There is a crochet edging stitch which is like double (UK) crochet backwards which might look good, and wouldn't need so many rows. I've looked it up - crab stitch, or reverse single/double crochet depending on whether you are in the USA or UK/Australia/NZ - not sure which way in Canada.

Beads can be necklaces. Or just the front decorative bit on a necklace made out of cord or leather or something.
They also make fine toppers for pins, everything from hair pins to pins for shawls to brooches.
If you have the skill to manipulate silver or gold wire, many nice charms can be made with beads. They can also be strung together on wire to form small figurines, animals, dolls and so on.
And then there is using them as decoration on other items. Garments adorned with beads -- I have seen 'necklaces' sewn onto tee shirts. If you have enough exactly similar beads they can be strung to make a fringe. Jacket lapels and collars? Swapped in for buttons?
Hot glue. If you have a hot-glue gun worlds open before you. Attach them to things: wreath forms. Christmas tree ornaments. Miniature Christmas trees, as ornaments. Flower pots. Jars, to use as flower pots, or candle holders, or what have you. Lamp shades.
Little beads can adorn dolls, or doll clothing. Large beads can be the pendants on key fobs.

It's the packaging I need help with. In times gone by, there would have been flat boxes for hankies about. Black card and cling film over the top would look good in boxes. The things are made with silver wire, white crystal faceted glass, and black faceted beads with a rainbow sheen. All glittery. The necklaces have little dangly bits matching the earrings graduated out from the centre.

To the pain- that is a fantastic idea for blanket edging, thank you for sharing!!!
For earring packaging Perhaps buy a pack of Shiny card and make little boxes with bases and lids then rest them on tissue inside? I have made my own chocolates a few times and done this for boxes. It looks really good, although clearly homemade- not sure if that is a problem.
I might also consider making "handmade by" tags, as new handmade jewellery sets can probably be priced higher by oxfam than second hand.

Mrs Shrew, thank you. Looking homemade wouldn't be a problem, and I have done handmade by labels before for bags - I have, in the past, turned size 8 miniskirts that have hung around without being bought into handbags, and labelled those. Having seen the pricing on what are obviously surplus things from retailers, rather than secondhand, I do want my work to go for more than £2.99.

Well, that was an eventful night. Had a horrendous report to put in today so was up into the wee small hours with that and then remembered that my work secret santee is leaving early for the holidays so I don't have until Thursday like I usually do. Managed to finish the mug hug but I'm struggling to keep my eyes open now. And there are still those blankets to edge. But I think I've hit on a system, so hopefully all will be well. And I can always crochet all night if I can't sleep on the sleeper bus, but that will truly be cutting it fine!

I am now into making Christmas cards, using blanks with a frame front from John Lewis, into which I will put photos I took of tree baubles which reflected the local church during its tree festival, and which I have tweaked with an art program I bought from Smiths at £10. Sadly, I can't get the full professional program as the firm went bust, and sites which offer to download it are regarded as suspect either by me or McAfee or both. But even so, it picks out outlines and does pen effects, or messes with the colours and blurs things, and allows me to modify stuff, and stack effects until I get a result I like. (Extra donation to the church will follow, with printout out results in case they want to use them.)

At my day job, for years they bought the corporate Xmas card from card dealers. Which meant that everyone knew where we were getting our cards! I took charge of the process, riffing on our initials.
One year the card was simply our initials, with a red ornament hanging down. The next year, a quite elaborate painting (executed by moi) of a reindeer with the initials standing in for its antlers). This year I did our initials in ice, with the aid of one of those ice cube trays that does cubes in the letters of the alphabet.
And next year I propose to knit a cuff, exactly the size of an already existing Xmas stocking, with the company initials on. (It is too much work to knit an entire Xmas stocking for just this one thing.) It shall be hung by the chimney with care on the most decorative mantelpiece we can find, and photographed for the card.

Would anyone be interested in doing a pincushion swap? I've done one before on a parenting forum and it's an accessible swap for different crafters, whether you sew, knit or embroider, and such a small swap would be easy enough to do internationally too. I'm happy to organise in a few weeks time if anyone is interested.

I organise lots of craft swaps, the board I mod on started off as a board for cloth nappy users and now we've all grown older and there's very few babies around but lots of crafters! We've had pincushion swaps, needlecase swaps, bunting, Christmas decorations, wreaths, children's shorts, cake ...
A pincushion one is easy as it can be sewn or knitted or even crafted without these skills. Pincushions come in all sorts of shapes and styles, from simple round cushions bound with a button in the middle to animals and fruit, so it is also great for a range of abilities.

Just came across an interesting story about an Egyptian student who took up knitting, while in prison for political protest. She's done some lovely work, IMHO, which is pictured. She does it both for income and as protest.
Hmmm...I wonder if she knows about guerrilla knitting? Though, once she's free, that could get her into more trouble.
ETA: some of the comments on the article point out that it's crochet, rather than knitting.

A bit of a tangent but this reminded me of a lecturer in English at Sydney Uni in the 60s. He dedicated his book on Shakespeare to the then South African Government. He thanked them for giving him space to write the book. He was imprisoned for quite a while for protesting against apartheid. I have forgotten his name.

Derek Marsh. He lectured me in English in 1964. At the end of his time in Sth Africa, he was "advised" by the security authorities that it would be better for him overall were he to leave the country within 14 days. A clever man, he understood what was being said, and left in 10.
I remember him as being very gentle and a good lecturer. He understood that there was little point in engaging students in English I in the battles then going on in the dept between supporters of the Ogre of Downing College, and those who wore corks dangling from the brim of their hats - amusing though those battles were to us.

I remember little about those studies. A tutor was Germaine Greer, I was able to impress her as I knew about St Cecelia and also about Icarus.

OK, I'm on a stash busting exercise in crochet. I'm building a jacket in granny squares. So far, I have a successful construction consisting of a large square for the back, smaller ones for the front, and a medium sized one connecting the two. I'm currently trying to visualise a set in sleeve.
Annoyingly, any pictures of sleeved granny square garments I can find on the web don't adequately display the mechanics of sleeve construction. Anyone know of any?

I'm hoping fellow crafters may be able to help me.
My mother has seen advertised somewhere (she can't remember where) what she describes as a lap lamp, a sort of tray device that lights up to help when doing cross stitch on dark coloured fabric.
She has now asked me to get one for her but I do not know the correct name of the item and have not been able to find anything similar on the Internet.
Have any of you come across such an item before and would you know how I could find one

Thank you for the suggestions. The tray is closest but she insists that it is the tray itself that lights up rather than having the posable light

When working on dark fabric she would indeed need the light under the fabric so that the "holes" show up. Until she finds the lighted tray (I'll do some looking into this), has she tried a white towel or piece of fabric in her lap? That helps a bit.

For the past 10 or 12 years we have had a Threads Ministry in our church. This was essentially an older lady and myself; she would sew fleece into blankets and I would knit baby blankets. These got bundled into bales and then used to fill in the corners of a shipping container of medical supplies and computer equipment going to a mission partner in central Uganda.
The Ministry fell apart for a couple reasons -- the shipping people quintupled their prices; the Ugandans at the other end looted the containers, and my elderly friend had to move away to live with her daughter. She left me with all the fleece, already cut into blanket size. There must have been a hundred of them. It has taken me about three or four years to very slowly sew them all, and gradually disburse them out to mission teams to carry in their suitcases.
But now! This week! I have under my sewing machine foot the very very last blanket! Since it is the last one it was both oddly sized and had no backing (the blankets are simply 2 pieces of polarfleece sewed together like a pillowcase and turned right-side out and closed) I bought a larger piece of contrasting fleece. The main fabric was dark blue with a design of stars and moons in yellow; my contribution is a light yellow, which will form not only the backing but a strip on either side of the front to square it off.

I am hoping (since this is the very last of the ministry) to get the clergy to pray it out on its journey to wherever.
And then I am going to make 2 octagonal covers for the baptismal font, which does duty (when there are no baptisms) as a way station for communion vessels, on their way to the sink. The font is octagonal, and at one point in the past we had a square piece of linen to be the cover, plus a sign "For Eucharistic Vessels Only." The cover went walkabout, and we are now annoyed every week by people using Undercorporals or even corporals for this purpose. If I make something octagonal, it cannot EVER be mistaken for anything else!

I've spent the morning putting together a pattern I printed out last night for an Edwardian nurse's uniform, for my Kentwell 1915 re-enactment this summer. I'm playing a Red Cross Sister just back on leave from the front and I'll be helping a VAD colleague on her Red Cross fundraising/recruitment stall.
I'm making a practice bodice this morning using some leftover sage sprig cotton I have (bought cheaply wholesale to make prairie dresses for customers). My husband will fit the bodice for me this evening. If this works out well it means I will also have a nice Edwardian summer dress for future use.

How lovely! Alas, I have been battling with a pattern based on a ww1 military nurses uniform which appears to have several inaccuracies/idiosyncrasies. But my practice bodice has now been made up and alterations noted. I'll make the real thing later next week.

Heavenly Anarchist, you would probably love my Royal Red Cross medal awarded in WW I. Not to a Red Cross member, but instituted by Queen Victoria for service by a nurse or for exceptional bravery.
I would love to find where this in the family fits in. I have asked the historians with their family histories, I have asked the current one with memories of the convoluted system of relatives on both sides of the family. Am working my way through Australian women awarded this but so far have drawn a blank between them and any any family connections.
After I moved here, I was unpacking. When I left my husband I packed up a pile of things I knew he would not want or would throw out. Silver teaspoons etc. When I unpacked i opened a box to find the medal, not half a dozen tarnished teaspoons.
Garrads the Jewellers box but no names. I wrote to them but nothing came back.

The interesting thing is that absolutely no one on either side of the family can remember any one at all mentioning it.
The messy bit is maiden/married names all have to be explored, although the nurses were to be single .

I am feeling motivated. Inspired by the thought of a seven-hour train journey, I am going to make this jumper for husband en rouge during the summer holidays. I’ve ordered a sort of blue-grey patterned yarn. I admit I’m a bit of a cheat and have purposely chosen something with great big yarn and great big needles to make it grow fast. I also wanted a cardigan for me with smaller yarn and smaller needles but I ordered that one from my mother ![[Two face]](graemlins/scot_twoface.gif)
Question for the knowledgeable: when the (American) pattern says “M.1”, is this the same thing a British pattern would call “inc 1”?

Yes it is. You are aware of the two or three different ways to increase a stitch? Some being more appropriate for your pattern than others.

A year or so ago someone on the Ship talked about making clothes from a particular manufacturer's patterns. They were lovely, unusual, folky/ethnic clothes, and Google is not my friend and won't dig them out for me.
I've also been trawling through Oblivion without any success. I thought it might have been Firenze, but my trawling suggests she uses mostly Vogue patterns, so maybe it was someone else.

I made one of these.
It almost looks the same, but I left off the mitre with the chimere, and didn't put the fastening bit. And no glasses yet; not sure about them. But otherwise it is the sameish.
Q; if you were going to visit +R in a couple of weeks, would you take this with you or not? : )
