Cards Wanted.

Hi, Remember this bargain I bought back in April? These cards I bought at a market for 15c each and I have almost run out. Each of the laundry bags I make get a card each. I don't need envelopes. Anyone out there know where I can get blank /plain masculine cards in bulk?

This week I have been cutting and preparing fabric for more laundry bags and today I have got finished ready to post 12 more bags.

Laundry Bags.

Instead of Crafternoons today as the group had somewhere else to be, I decided to do some more sewing. I went into my sewing room at 8am and got into the zone of sewing and before I knew it it was 5pm!  I came out of the room having finished 12 more laundry bags. A nice days work.

Aussie Hero Laundry Bags.

Finished and ready to post are 12 more laundry bags. (3 boxes of 4 bags).

BX2 Post Boxes.

Readers of my blog know that the majority of my crafting is for charity and a lot of this year so far I have been making laundry bags for Aussie Heroes. In December of last year I bought in bulk 50 boxes on ebay (it worked out at 80c per box) with the thinking that it would last me the year I am now down to my last few boxes so it was time to get some more. This time I ordered 100. This cost me $60 including postage. If I bought this amount from the post office it would have cost me $235. A saving of $175. I have moves a couple of things around in my sewing room to make a space for it. This should be enough for at least this time next year.

Tuesdays's Treasures.

This is my Tuesday's Treasure. A magnifying glass that you hang around your neck, It has a smaller larger magnifying glass near the light. My daughter bought it for me for Mothers Day. I find it invaluable, The fact that it is purple is an absolute bonus! My favorite colour and the only colour available, How lucky am I! Play along with Melody on her blog, this is her link.

Aussie Hero Stuff.

 This is what I have been doing this week. I have sorted out the scraps of fabric that are the left overs from making the laundry bags into sizes and colours ready to turn into blocks for Aussie Heroes.

I have also for the past 3 days been turning this t.shirt yarn into cord. First though before I use it I have to re wind the yarn into a round ball. When you open this yarn it is in a long sausage shape and is difficult to use. Well worth it though as this is the stuff I bought at Spotlight when it was on sale at 50c a ball. It has made 17 cords per ball. An easy way to measure the cord I discovered is my hand to shoulder doubled which means I could be making this stuff anywhere and don't need a tape measure. which makes it totally portable.
