I maintained it until probably May-ish last year, and then a few times a week for about another 12 months. This year?

I delayed starting it though, because at the size it would end up, it would either be really plain, or excessively fiddly. Then, other people started posting theirs, and there was a definite theme:-) (Unsurprisingly, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&#8230; is this Sunday.
As usual, you&#8217;re welcome to come by from about 1.30 either with craft or conversation:-)
I&#8217;m thinking a good task for this month is to make Bilby an apron:-) (And possibly a new one for Puggle, that is a better design:-) )
Hope to see you there:-)

		<description><![CDATA[As part of my switch to fully cloth, I finally got around to making these nappy wipes. I&#8217;ve yet to use them, but I&#8217;m hoping they work well. Each one is half a face washer (towelling) backed with flannelette (for a softer touch). I simply overlocked the two pieces together. Pretty straightforward, although it did [...]]]></description>

But bean bags would be a great way to use up some  of those scraps of crafty fabric I have! And a bag to collect them all&#8230; 
Hmm&#8230; might be a good idea for Baby Girl (my niece) for Christmas:-)
