Knitted/crochet toys?Oh. Well do you have any ideas for things I could make? (I'm from Florida so cold weather clothes and scarves would be impractical)
Forgot you asked about things for kids, not to sell to raise funds.Knitted/crochet toys?
Cotton crochet baby blankets?
Crochet/knitted cotton bath rugs/mats...
Oven gloves/mitts in heavyweight cottondid the pad part in double thickness cotton and made it so you have picket for your hand on either side of each pad so that makes it even thicker.![]()
Problem is getting people to pay what they are worth (and to cover more than cost of raw materials
These are some of the items I've been making for our village craft stall.

Your bags are fabulous.
I've really liked the pieces you have shown us. I'm sure the exhibition will be fine.....Going up to see the exhibition tomorrow. Kinda dreading it. I'm nervous about how the new paintings fit in with the others. I'm not worried about the older ones, they're very "grown up", very "fine art", but the new ones are more like the stuff I used to do, before I quit art for music. Back then my art teacher said I'd never make a fine artist, but that I'd make a "bloody good illustrator". It really upset me. I'm worried now that my more illustrative work will look childish next to the others and not be well received.I like doing the new stuff. The old stuff has got a bit stale.
Simply the BESTwas up there today. One of mine sold while I was there. An old one, a dark sea scape. I was really surprised and pleased. - It's 2.5hrs from here. There are about 100 paintings in the exhibition and only 4 are mine. - what were the odds of that??
