Have you ever had anything handmade! Anyone knitted you a cardi, baked you a cake etc! I have bought a beautiful box of 30 handmade greeting cards from TKMAX just cost me £7. thats a bargain!
Made me think about doing my own hand made cards and other items!
My mum used to make her own cards oscarina and they were beautiful. She also used to knit (so well in fact, they used to sell her stuff in the local craft shop), embroidery, macrame, crochet, paint, pottery etc. etc.
My best friend makes miniatures (you know -stuff for dolls houses). All the stuff is made to scale, she gets all the minutest details exactly right and they areabsolutely fabulous. She sells them on ebay & makes a fluffin fortune!
my mum and my sister make their own cards.. I'm afraid it doesn't work for me. some of them look nice but they're basically nice stickers on card. I don't get it!
I don't like hand-knitted clothes either, but I'd be over the moon if someone made me any food, cakes, sweets, dinner, etc :o)
funnygirl agree TKMA can be quite expensive but you can pick up some unique items! They don't reduce items as much as you would like them to do but the same applies with most stores
My sister in law does stunning beadwork, she makes some fabulous jewellery, also does patchworking etc. - she's given me some lovely handmade gifts from time to time.
