the concentration was intense as you can see (yes Katya's finger is often there..). Alicia has persevered & made quite a long tube - we are going to stuff it & make it into a snake. I did a quick web search for things we could make with these tubes, but didn't find much. I'm thinking finger puppets could be good as it's the right circumference for some fingers :-)
Here's the bags I've made, kind of adapted some patterns to suit (how unusual - me doing something different LOL) but I'm planning on 'felting' the two hanging above but keeping the one below as is.
OK, now I need to get thinking some more about things for this market day next Saturday, thanks heaps for your suggestions - feel free to post more in the relevant posts comments below too as I won't draw some names till next Saturday evening (21 April). Kind of waiting for some parcels - Rural Delivery will slow things though - hope they get here early next week.I've been pouring over some fabulous entries for the Get Real comp at Scrapbook Outlet & decisions are soo hard when all are fantastic - love that people had the chance to scrap what their lives are like now & the 'real' stuff that goes on for them - kind of fits with a thread at Scrapbook Outlet about scraping ourselves that was brought home to one of the 'survivors' with the recent passing of a loved one. I think the winners of this amazing competition will be announced tonight!
I'm looking forward to seeing the next round of entries for the Survivor comp too! I love food and the challenge of scrapping recipes is right up my alley!
While here I hope to catch up with some friends & to check out the Farmers Market near the trainstation tomorrow, maybe the aquarium, Moana, the beach if it gets warmer (snow on the Maungatua - brrr....), any other ideas? Read in the ODT today that they've been frost fighting back at the Gibbston Valley Wineries - Waitiri was mentioned - they get out the helicopters to try to keep the air circulating & there are big windmil things there too, reads like it was successful.

gosh I remember the old cotten reel and nail type knitters lol. I also had a long rectangle plastic one as well. Then I progressed to needles and hate it. Love ya bags Lara.
Cool bags!! I also remember those old knitting machines. We used them at school. But I have to ask ... isn't it freezing cold down there? It is here! Katya must be so cold with no shirt on!! Mind you that picture could have been taken earlier in the week when it was summer, right?! LOL ;-)
Cool bags. Maybe the kids could use the tubes to make a draught stopper and put a face on one end.
Those bags look pretty neat Lara - you have been one busy lady. Great to see the kids doing it with you too.
Make some more bags for your craft stall!
