A question about : What to do with my Christmas Wreath?

Has anyone any ideas?
All of my decorations have come down but my wreath is still looking pretty and radiant and i dont have the heart to throw it away while it looks so good.
On the other hand i dont want a xmas wreath on my front door til mid feb (if it lasts that long)
Still looks as good as the day i bought it.

The Great 'how to have a romantic Valentine's on a budget' Hunt

Let's not over-commercialise Valentine's Day. Roses, chocolates and candlelit dinners might earn brownie points, but they can come with an unromantic price tag. How do you treat your loved one without breaking the bank?

A question about : Personalised magic cape

Hi, does anyone know of anyone who makes personalised magic capes? Etsy has some lovely ones but they are all american. Looking for a nice one made from fabric and personalised in some way rather than the cheaper ones which look cheap. The boy is going to be 13 but has learning and physical disabilities so a standard one aimed at little kids won't fit.
Thanks

A big warm welcome to old friends and new and here's to an organised 2015, lots of bargains, plenty of chatter, good friends, and hopefully aiming for a money neutral 2015.

A question about : A heads up for hamper makers

Hello all,

I appreciate that the many experienced hamper-compilers amongst you probably have your trusted suppliers BUT Lidl are advertising rolls of cellophane (clear or patterned) from 05/02.

Hampers are so versatile (not just for Christmas!) I hope that may help someone...

I'll go back to lurking quietly now...

A question about : Selling a 20ft Christmas Tree?

Hope this is the best board to ask on. We have an extremely large Christmas tree growing outside a house we bought last summer. It needs to come out (blocking lots of light) & we wondered if we could either donate it to a local town or sell it. Wondering if I could eBay it?! Any helpful suggestions?

A question about : What colour wool to knit a minion? Tooo many yellows to choose from!

Does anyone have a recommendation of a wool brand and colour to knit a minion? My mum wants to make one for my son but there are sooo many shades of yellow around

• Are you on Ravelry? Just done a search for Minion in patterns and there are nine pages. Have a look and I am sure you will find the exact colours you need.
