She still has some she never sold left from her craft fair days, I expect she still enjoys looking at them. 
Any chance of a few photos of them?

Re: Football
I think there's a point being missed here. Contrary to popular belief, not every person in the land has Sky TV or Virgin TV so it's not a good argument to cite extra terrestrial channels and those that do may not necessarily have the Sports Channels, because they detest sports, or they can't afford to pay for them.The point I made, which nobody picked up on, was that ITV and BBC do not have to flood their main channels with sports and disrupt popular programmes watched by millions, but they have alternative sites they could use.
Football is watched by thousands. Corrie and Emmerdale etc are watched by millions. It's not complicated to work it out.

I do think the BBC should be answerable to the public who pay them for what is shown and if they're not happy with that, then they should raise their own funds - maybe pay-per-view?
