Here I am back after 4 weeks on holiday! (You might have noticed that I don't like to advertise the fact that I am away from home before I go.) We have been in North Wales, walking the hills and coasts but along the way we spent a great weekend with Caro

Another suggestion for the April challenge - use the outline to applique any stitched design to a card.

Recycle - upcycle - the possibilities are endless! Greysewist gave me this idea. I digitiesed an outline design just a bit bigger than a CD. For this example, I stitched the text on felt with the outline, then removed from the machine and fixed an old CD

Another way to use the denim queen design. This one is using black synthetic velveteen with Yoriko's sugar skull (in DBC) instead of the words. It used up another of my pouns shop shoe laces for the handle. It is lines as in the instructions so the seams

A round tuit. Bevintex suggested this for a peg cosy but I've put a circle of stiff card between the two layers of felt and will glue a magnet on the back I think. Peg cosy designs can be used for other things just as other things can be used as peg cosi

Light bulb peg cosy. I wanted to put "Inspiration" but it was too long! Lots of space though, for short snappy phrases - any suggestions?

Hint to everyone hooked on peg cosies - It doesn't necessarily have to be a special design. I've just made one from my angel tealight cover and it looks fine!

My take on peg cosies (although I've never noticed mine shivering on the washing line!) I didn't hoop the beer bottle one well enough and the label pulled it in so the lettering didn't fit.

Three samples of Japanese Braiding (Kumihimo) These are all made with eight threads using the same technique. The top one is using cord, the middle one cotton/acrylic double knitting yarn and the bottom one 6 strand embroidery floss. I'm working up to

Inspired by Pauline's mannequin card and Martine's applique bunting card. It took longer to tie the bow in the ribbon than to stitch the card!
