thought i'd start a new thread for this rather than putting it on the weekly challenge thread.

saw this today, aren't those owls sweet!, also love all her crochet and knitting

anyone else spotted anything nice they'd like to share whilst blogging?

That's great, that wool looks lovely and touchable too.

those owls are adorable !!!!

Gosh I keep looking and its worrying me because theres loads of things I want now!!!

and what about this for a rather cool advent calendar project to make?

LK, I already starting making one of those for the DCs (well, a bit like it, I have a mix of stockings and pouches, but I quite like the pouches better!)

what are the owls for? Formaking a sign?

I'm off to have a go at the owls right now ! They are brilliant - so simple but effective.

do you think they are for making signs with, like happy birthday?

pd, i think you could do whatever you wanted with them, would make a nice christmas banner or a great name sign for dc's bedroom door, depends what fabric you've got to use. could even follow the same pattern and do it in paper, and glue instead of stitch

sign for door - that would be nice

pd, I'm going to do a sign for the door, good suggestion - thanks!!!! My friend's baby doesn't have one, and I've been struggling what I can get him for christmas.

Love the owls - not sure about the hoover cosy though

[[http://www.galvanic.co.uk/issue1/crafty.html i'm loving this headband]

I've had a go at the Owls, here are a couple of pics.

So quick and easy to make, I think I'll make some big ones next !

Naedanger, it didn't link...so here you go
Naedanger's headband I could have done with that yesterday!!!

TB, fab owls!

see? that's happens when you post a link then walk away without checking it. Thanks GM! (it's PMD BTW!)

spotted this yesterday, look at the christmas wreath made from balls of wool, that is so cool!!.

not sure it would look quite as nice on our 70's style naff glazed front door that somebody has done a diy hammerite paint job on

i can see the cat attacking it too

Very nice, am I the only just call me ruby fan justcallmeruby.blogspot.com/

couple of new things, came across this blog through the softie awards, this is a great idea for school holidays, cardboard dolls house!

also, the latest podcast from craftypod looks really interesting, its about a lady who turned her craft blog into a book

That wreath would look fab done in pompoms!

hey, pompoms is a great idea!, kids would love making them

Stuff the kids, I may well have a go myself when they've gone to bed

Can you make pompoms without having to cut the cardboard discs out? ie can you use the discs more than once? My pompom making days are so very long ago!

i think it depends how full you want to make them, i like my pompoms quite big , i'm too impatient and just cut mine so they come out quicker.
