lainey ....love your scrapbook pages!! I made a scrapbook for my great niece at Christmas ----(after not scrapbooking in a long time) ---and it was SO fun to delve back into allll the paper, ribbons, etc. again !  muggins ....your mice are SOOO cute !!!   I recently got addicted to youtube videos of crafts---ESPECIALLY the crafts from Dollar Tree! UK peas--are low-cost "dollar" ( pound ) stores as popular in your countries as they are here? I mean....they are EVERYWHERE in the U.S! I used to think it was low-quality junk, but there ARE some high-quality things!!! Not to mention, the BEAUTIFUL crafts these youtubers create !!! One of my FAVE peeps that I follow on youtube is in link below. I saw this and couldn't WAIT to do it.  I would never have thought of ombre effect of the roses! I have binge watched MANY of her videos! Here's a video if you're interested: www.youtube.com/watch?v=zKgkMY09D4I
By the way---the result at the bottom took me MAYBE an hour, and only cost 7 dollars.

In our very small town we have a Poundland, Poundstretcher, Nickel and Dime and there was another one that closed recently. You can't guarantee to get anything decent but sometimes they have very good things. |

It’s trendy here among young people to wear totally mismatched socks. |

@patter I hope you heal quickly. I'm glad you have something to entertain yourself with. I just discovered this cool office chair that has a seat that hangs from the arm rests and rocks. So you can lean forward and back while keeping good posture. It's expensive, but so is having back problems. I am looking at getting one when I set up my art studio room.
muggins your little lupins and their galopin* friend are adorable! I love them. *this French word for monkey also means ragamuffin lainey I love your socks. I think the different toes make them more interesting and cool. roundtwo I love the quilt fabrics and pattern. I don't really have any advice, but I suggest you go to Instagram for inspiration. You can even search for the True North fabrics and the quilt pattern.
I haven't done a project yet, but I am practicing for a mixed media calligraphy project for a wedding present.

Such lovely makes to see! I’m alternating between crochet and knitting at the moment. Ive done the fronts and have nearly finished half a back of this cardigan. I’m probably about 1/3 way through this shawl. I just love the stitches! I’m beginning to love my circular needle and thanks to elaine , flute4peace and another pea whose name escapes me, I’m sorry, I think future circulars will be the rotating kind. I can see the advantage of that. Anyway, this is the pattern : www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/purple-trio And here is where I am : The colours of both look quite similar but the top one is a soft vintage rose pink, cream and grey and cream, and the bottom is a sort of magenta, pearl grey and a glorious multicolour. Those colors are so pretty!! |

Patter, that blanket is so lovely. What pattern are you using?
I hope your recovery is fast and easy! <3
Thank you. And the pattern is for a dishcloth but I just made my beginning chain longer to make a baby afghan. I chained 140, and it makes it about 40" wide with Lion Brand Pound of Love. It really makes for a beautiful blanket pattern. I will definitely do this again but with lots of bright colors. Here is the link: foothillsofthegreatsmokymountains.blogspot.com/2008/03/tulip-stitch-cloth.htmlThanks, Patter! That looks like a beautiful pattern to turn into a baby blanket. |

Here’s an update on my dollhouse renovation. This is the kitchen. I put up ship lap, a “tile” backsplash, hardwood floors, made the navy blue fridge and cabinets with rose gold hardware and a “Carrara” marble countertop. The upper cabinets are almost done—they’re white. And next up is a navy island with a butcher block counter top and farmhouse sink.  7BAAA005-0FE4-486C-9097-F24824963689 by , on Flickr |

Here's what I've been working on. It is a quilt where I get a pattern emailed to me daily for each day of the year. These blocks are my January blocks plus a couple of "bonus" blocks. They each are 3 1/2" square. Once I sew them into a quilt that makes them 3". The designer starts us using dark colors with only a few "lighter" colors in the blocks. After we finish with these the next step is to begin to use light, truly light fabrics. I also think the blocks go to 6 1/2".  |

The Winwick FB group is great, I've asked all sorts of daft questions and people are so lovely and helpful. I would just say cast on a sock and give it a try. I've finished one of my DK socks following this pattern Spree socks and it's knit up so quickly. |

katybee I love this! Did you use a kit or buy the components separately? I’m thinking about updating mine but I wouldn’t know where to start. lainey they’re really cool. I wish I could knit or crochet. CeeScraps that look great. Looking forward to seeing how it progresses. @fluteforpeace you are so talented! Love those outfits. I wish I could knit outfits for my characters but I haven’t knit since I made a wonky scarf when I was 10! gillyp I love the colors and crocheted textures in you shawl. I’d love to have the skill to make something like that.

I made the cabinets from scratch using mat board and bass wood. The ship lap and flooring are strips of iron-on wood veneer. The tile is from Hobby Lobby. ETA: The cabinet hardware is from PaperDoll Miniatures. There are 3-d printed. |
