I've just finished sending out the Secret Sister details for the Secret Santa swap. It would be nice if you could use this thread to drop a few more hints about your likes etc to help your sister decide what to make for you.

I've been transferring information from my emails to a spreadsheet for the Secret Santa swap and I have been fantasising about visiting each and every one of you on the list as it would be an amazing world tour. Some of the addresses sound really exotic,

I've spent the day at the Janome UK Headquarters, learning about my machine. I went to keep a friend company, but there were a few things I picked up that I wouldn't have found out by accident. The course was quite well structured. We were given a pa

Last week someone posted a link to crochet flowers made with ring pulls and I'm really sorry I've forgotten who. Here is mine. It was rather fiddly and I'm not sure it was worth the effort!

Have a laugh at my expense: I'm testing a set of quilted zipped purses using the easy zip method. I got to the part when I needed to open the zip before putting the purse back on when I realised I'd forgotten to put the zip in. The fancy stitching t

How to get your husband to do more housework - buy him a robotic floor cleaner! It is a cute little flying saucer with an electrostatic pad on the underside. It tootles round the floor picking up dust and dog hair (and frightening the dog.) Mike has playe

I'm not a Halloween person, but I couldn't resist this little pumpkin. It was very quick and easy to crochet.

I thought I would start a thread to chat about Secret Santa so that new members can see what happens. If I decide to go ahead for this year I will be asking who wants to take part in a couple of weeks, but first I'd like your comments and experiences.
