MDCC next Sunday 22nd.

[ed_blackadder_1]

Has everyone sorted out what they are doing yet.

[stroppy*cow]

Between the hospital and all the hassle at work, I haven't had chance to even think about it.

[ilove2patch]

I can't see it happening for me this month.

[ed_blackadder_1]

Must admit I am struggling for ideas. I might be able to rustle up a couple of things.

[merc1_clocks]

 I think it would be so sad if MDCC died.

I looked at the money I raised in one year (& I'm just one person)...it was amazing, & all for Charity.

Even if only one thing was listed, it's all money to Charity.

Let's try & resurresct the enthusiasm & drive that we all have.

 This is just my opinion - but so heartfelt ...

                                  

[captainbovine]

yes, I think so too, but I can understand that it must be frustrating if you are making stuff for your charity and someone bids a small amount and gets your hard worked item for peanuts. Perhaps there should be a better way to show it is all for charity, it may prick some peoples conscience buttons....maybe put your charity speal in bright colours and capital letters....

as i now have more time on my hands i have been sewing....

any requests or ideas of what to make .

let me know

[bluerose444]

Any chance of some Easter chicks please Cookie?  

I heartily agree with you Mercs 

[ed_blackadder_1]

Oh I dont want it to end, but sometimes it can cost quite a lot to make and post and you wouldn't get that amount as people wouldn't pay it. That saying we do have some extremely generous people that buy them. For which I would say a big thank you.

I too have raised a lot of money over the last year or so.

It aught to be Easter this time because next month will be the 29th of March and Easter is the following weekend.

Just need some ideas for this time.

[ilove2patch]

I don't think people have the money to spend either. I certainly don't. I will find some things to list but no hand mades this month.

[2017clearout]

Oooh, Ed - please could you do some religious Easter cards?  I find it really hard to get them...

I've missed buying the last few times, as I've been away and forgot to bid early: but this month, I've put it in my calendar already 😄

[mouse4702]

If anyone makes Butter Tablet, they are guaranteed bids from this greedy-guts.

[ed_blackadder_1]

Hefzi I don't have anything like that I'm afraid and I don't think I would be able to get it in time.

Im not religious myself so don't tend to do them sorry.

Lovely to see you by the way. Maybe Stroppy might be able to do them.

will see what i can find..

[ed_blackadder_1]

Actually I have a want, I am looking for a felt or fabric mouse sitting on back legs about 2 inches or so tall. I have had 2 attempts at making one but they were rubbish sewing is just not my thing.
So if anyone could oblige that would be lovely.

[ginap.123]

I'm looking for a fabric cover to go over a wicker waste bin. It needs to be black with a lot of bling and lace and over the top

[twishy123]

Does it have to be a sewn one Ed?....

[stroppy*cow]

I will do my best to sort out some Easter cards - I have some fab cross die cuts and some embroidery designs.

[ed_blackadder_1]

Fabric of some sort Twishy it is to sit on a large cotton reel.

[ed_blackadder_1]

Oh oh oh, what about egg cosies with an easter theme. I know a couple of little girls that would love them.
