Another Worthy Cause.

I have been drinking my coffee and reading some blogs, warming up before I do some sewing today when I read about baby quilts for PNG on Melody's Blog http://thehouseonthesideofthehill.blogspot.com.au/
Gina lives not far from me and I think it is something I can help her with. Read about it here.

Found My Cards.

 I have found some cards on ebay, 240 blank cards that worked out at 15c each, perfect!

This is my idea on making them masculine. I bought a couple of books from Savers to cut up. One picture jokes and the other book has cross word puzzles. I then went to the $2 shop and bought some wrapping paper to fussy cut for colour. I think they will be great for masculine cards.

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?

12 More Laundry Bags.

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.
