Reader Made Items
Welcome readers, welcome!
Thanks for another fab month of comments, ratings, feedback and e-mails I've had from everyone this month.
Please don't forget to enter the giveaway that is currently running on this blog.
When we reach 85 followers, I'll post a picture of the prize.
Thanks for all your support.
And so here we go with this month's reader made items.
1. Make a Storage Box (originally shown HERE)
by the talented Rufusdog from MSE has come up with another corker.
Aren't they fabulous?!
She also gives some fab tips: " I found I had to put some cardboard in the sides and front as even with the strongest interfacing I had they were still floppy. I will be putting some bits in them (crafty stuff in one and stationery stuff in the other) then will fill a black bag with rolled up newspaper to pad them out so they dont get crushed.
The insides were an old bedspread which I had and didnt use and the fronts were old curtains. The only thing I bought special was the foam for the bottom which was about £10 for the two pieces, I think I could have used cardboard."
There you have it, another amazing make from Rufusdog!
2. Door Stops (first shown HERE)
from the lovely Lucy at Crafting in a Beach Hut
Lucy said "
I think they are fabulous and I hope to make some soon!
A big Thanks to everyone who submitted their items.
Don't forget next Reader Showcase: Friday 26th March - get making and submitting folks!!!

They look so cute and would brighten up any room. I struggled a bit with the handle (*blush*) but otherwise they were simple and fun. They are also a great way of using up small scraps of material left over from other projects. I already have orders from family and friends for more, although I can't bear to give any away at the mo so they may just have to wait!

I think they are fabulous and I hope to make some soon!
