Ah okay....was going to offer up a felted one...but it probably wouldn't give the same effect...sowwwwieeee  

[ed_blackadder_1]

Meant fabric as oposed to knitted or crocheted, a felt one would be faaabulous. could you do one in time for Sunday?

[twishy123]

I can do you a Barry/Gordon/Melissa one ...but without the balloons/book/flower if that's any good...or were you thinking more lifelike?

[ed_blackadder_1]

Lifelike really.......

[twishy123]

Any good?...please excuse 'goldfish' photo....just say no if not what you had in mind,I won't be offended 

[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.

It's quite acceptable to deduct ebay & postage costs ed 

[merc1_clocks]

This month I will be listing for DFG.

As usual, any monies I make will be split between dairyview & Maggie xxx

[ilove2patch]

Thank you Merc. We both appreciate you doing that. 🙂

[ed_blackadder_1]

Thanks Mercs but I usually cover the costs myself.

I should be having 5 things to list as I have just been shopping and managed to get all sorts of things for easter, just need to set aside a day to do it.

I shall be listing for diabetes as so many of our lovely ladies present and no longer with us and my mother all suffer from diabetes.

Thanks ed, anyway (and stroppy!) - I'll keep a look out for your auctions anyway, as well as everyone else's: I'm going to California for work tomorrow, and then about ten hours after I get back on Monday, we're taking the students to Madrid - so I can feel a lot of important ebaying coming up!

Or - how about things for Mothering Sunday as well?  Or would that be too close?  I've been stocking up in recent weeks for my mother and my honorary mum, but little bits and pieces always go down well, and might get in some non-board people too (I found the boards through buying something from MDCC - but I'm not too techy, which was probably why it was that way around!)

I know it must be so disappointing when you go to all that effort to create something, and then it doesn't even cover its costs, but as a non-seller, it's nice to have the chance to buy something and know it's for a good cause, and sold by someone from here: charity shops just don't feel the same!  I realise this is a selfish reason for hoping it's able to continue, though.  And I am blown away by the skills and talent you guys have too - felting, knitting, sewing, crafting, card making, baking, jewellery making, glass making: we just need  a potter and we could open a crafts collective!

Enjoy California lucky devil.
