I'm not sure if this is the correct place for this but i thought it fit.

I organised a postcard swap with a few other bloggers and these are what i'm sending out.

I've done the odd stitch before for embelishing other things but have never done a big piece.  Here is my first, i must say i impressed myself!  Hehehe.



I have quilted it and plan to either frame it as it is or turn it into a bag, what do you think?  Any suggestions?

Here is my lace leaf cravat


I used 2 strands of Jaegar Matchmaker merino in cream.

I finished these last month and thought i'd share.  The pattern is in Stitch n' Bitch Nation.


Has anyone else made these?  If so it'd be great to see them.

I wasn't sure where to post this so it's here, in the miscellaneous folder.
It was my little girls 1st birthday today and i made her this simple but pretty cake

It's carrot cake underneath.
She seemed to enjoy it, though most of it ended up all over her face, hands and the floor.
Here's apic of the birthday girl on her new trike

Hi,
 I recently made this for my friend who just had her baby.  I'm pleased with it.  What do you think?

Hi all,
I finished this last night.  It still needs the fastening put on, the pattern calls for a frog closure, not sure i want one of those, any ideas?  The pattern is from 'Simple crochet' by Jane Davis.  What do you think?

 I did post a tutorial, but i felt uncomfortable about it, i wasn't sure if i was infringing copyright so i deleted it.  If you'd like to know how to make this bag you will find it in the book 'bags with style' by Stephanie Kimura.
I'm sorry if this dissapionts anyone.

Hi all,
   I hope you don't mind me posting this here.
I have recently relocated from the UK to Melbourne, Australia and had to give up my precious lop eared bunny Oscar.  He has gone to live with a lovely lady named Kathy at her small pet rescue centre in Nottingham, England.
I was recently in touch with her and she replied asking for donations of used stamps and postcards.  Used stamps and postcards help them with funds, people all over the world collect them, for every black bin bag they supply to a company they weigh it then pay them up to 30.00 pounds depending on area, country etc. they then bag it seperately then resell them to stamp or postcard collectors, i know it doesnt seem much but every little helps.

If you're willing to donate, pm me and i'll let you know the address to send them to.
I'd be truly grateful, and i'm sure Oscar and Kathy would be too.

Any other ideas to help raise money for them would be greatly accepted.

Hi,
  I live in Melbourne, Australia and was wondering if there was anyone else in Australia that would be interested in a swap of some sort.  Maybe handbags, knitted/crocheted related items, dolls, jewelry, paper crafts or anything else that you can think of.
Wha d'ya think?
