More snap happiness! I've made a couple of bandanas for my dog with snaps to fasten. I used by rolled hem foot successfully round the edge, but with a wider hem across the neck edge. I also thought that the current craze for key fobs could be sidet

I found a polystyrene wreath form today, so I thought I'd try organza flowers on it. These are the ones I made for a ball shaped ornament a few weeks ago but I think they look better like this. It will need a few more to finish it off.

I bought this cone of thread at a car boot sale. It weighs over 2kg! It was attached to a length of (what I call) French Knitting complete with the bobbin. The friend I was with told me that where he comes from it is known as corking which I'd never hear

I think this qualifies as crafting - is topiary done in other countries besides UK? This train is almost 3m high. There are various trucks out of shot because I couldn't het it all in!

My daughter and I have been playing today and we made these old fashioned bowl covers (I loathe cling film!) We thought a fly was the ideal design for them. The edges a weighted with hand stitched beads although I may try some with a crochet edge when I h

I'd stitched this picture of a local church with no particular plan as to what I'd do with it. The Church Fete is next week and raffle prizes are needed, so I turned it into a cushion by applying it to a plain background with a rope edged frame. The

Remember when it was allowed to use buttons for the eyes of cuddly toys? Well it is again! The belly button can easily be replaced by a name or a message. The grey bear is for 130 x 180 hoop and the green one for 160 x 260.

Christmas in July. I used the organza flower design I made for the J-Club ladies to make this bauble. It is just over 10cm in diameter. The fabric is somewhere between organza and taffeta so I used one layer with gold thread. Instead of making them

I couldn't resist these new designs from Urban Threads. Unfortunately the fabric I chose to use is cheesecloth already embroidered, but I think I got away with it!

Another big hoop ITH bag. I changed the shape of the flap for this one. The design on the flap is one of my own from Yoriko's site.
