I treated myself to some of this, I've had my eye on it for ages but it's a real luxury. Finally went for it and it is really, really lovely stuff

I'm going to to make myself a gilet so just need one metre. I've just cut out the pieces and the floor looks like I've been shaving a cat!

Oooh, bet it's nice and soft! Please post a pic when you've made your gilet - I'd love to see it. (What's a gilet...?) ;0)

Love gilets! They are less restrictive than jackets.
The material looks sumptious Rosemary.I remember my mum having an astrakhan coat.

...shaved a cat...

Thanks Karen - nabbed the writing one! ;)

I've had a go at something new in craft terms - can't work out how to post photos here so here's a link to my blog about it. When I say new, I mean new to me - there are so many skilled people here it's probably old hat to several and you can have a laugh at my beginner's efforts! It was fun, though!

Lexie, that's lovely!

'Unicorn's blood'

Well done, Lexie!

tee hee, tempted by the 'making money through craft' - probably a very short book!

Love the pewter work, Lexie, just beautiful.

Went to see The Hobbit yesterday - Bilbo was wearing a lovely patchwork dressing gown... lots of small rectangles. Now that's got me thinking for next year!

I did notice that, but I obviously don't have the craft button in my head...

Lovely work Lexie! I've never heard of pewter craft before.

I like this lady's patterns, have made up a couple of them now.

I too was eyeing Bilbo's dressing gown with some thought ...

I do a bit of weaving on an Ashford loom, and Ashford is a New Zealand firm that did the weaving for the Lord of the Rings films, including those handy greyish elven cloaks that hide Frodo and Sam from the guards at the Gate. Amazing cloth when you see it up close (though possibly not magical!)

I found a wonderful wool and craft shop in Fishguard yesterday and the owner suggested knitting with a circular needle which I've never done. Its been a revelation and so much lighter to handle on a large (little fatty) man's Aran jumper, I knitted about 7 inches of the back last night, I'm really pleased I took her advice. She had beautiful beads and every accessory you can want.

Sounds good, Lynne!

Thanks Karen. Hope everyone's up to date with their Christmas craft creations! Baking done, but a bit rushed since I have to make a birthday cake for New Year's Eve in the shape of a Morris Minor... Could be a challenge!

good luck!

Challenging! wd love to see a pic when it's done. Nothing like a bit of extra pressure this time of year...

Oh yes, would love to see a pic of the Morris Minor cake! You are clever!

Taxidermy, now there's a new craft I hadn't thought of trying... maybe i shd get the book!

Yeah,but think of all the petrol you'd need driving around finding road kill...

Wonder if its got recipes in as well (for the leftover bits) ;o)

Don't need recipes. Just dump this stuff on the bits.

On closer inspection it appears that the archery book on how to build bows and arrows, was developed for boy scouts in the Phillipines! *makes mental note not to travel to the Phillipines...*

No, I found it on Pintrest and had to give it a go

Got myself a Pyrography set today. 2013 is shaping up to be the year of craft!

Anyone use decorative tape things?

I found a pile from my 'i collect all the pretty crap' stage and I don't know what to do with them. I'd gladly give them to a good home.
