If I had a hammer...

OK, I do, and I'm going to use it!


This morning's task, (other than washing, ironing and a trip to Tesco), is to complete some change trays to give to my Mum later; a couple of her friends have requested some for their daughters for Christmas.

So in those brief spare minutes recently, I have been stitching up the squares and starting to get those tricky poppers on.

So far I have made 3 large, 2 medium and a pair of matching smaller ones and have just four more to hammer this morning.  They actually don't want that many, but I figured whichever they don't choose can be put aside for Teaching Assistant Christmas gifts and the like.


For those not hanging round these parts when I last had a travel tray blitz, here's the 'how'.

Thank you everyone for all the birthday wishes for dear Hubby yesterday - he loves his quilt, so quit asking for it!!  I even got a Flickr Explore for a picture of the front!

I didn't get to catch up an all things bloggy yesterday, and doubt I'll get a chance again today as the hubs and I are out to a concert tonight, so have a great rest of the weekend, and I'll catch you all tomorrow x
