hello all!

Saw the sour cream tutorial via Hand made hear felted (thankyou!!)

... http://www.skiptomylou.org/2007/01/18/valentines/

And wondered....would the paper crimpers below work for this? I love the star one but dont think it would work with this? Would it have to be the plain lined crimper?

Hi, I used a normal crimping ribbler for some Halloween treats I made. I used double sided tape to actually stick the ends together so the sweeties inside wouldn't fall out so the paper ribbler was just for decoration really. I suppose you could use the star one if you wanted if it was just for decoration...? :-)

a craft party sounds a great idea! Is it for you? how many guests? What kind of things do you like doing? or do you want to learn something new?

Hi, I also use google blogspot, its very easy to set up like others have said. After setting up a basic page you may want to make it look more artistic. What I did was after setting up the blog using blogspot, I opened up a new tab with someone elses blog that had a link to 'The cutest blog on the block' (dotcom). It has lots of interesting templates to put 'on top' of yours. This is fairly straightforward too and it tells you how to do it. Good luck!

Once you've done it, you might like to put the address into your user profile here so we can all [STRIKE]nose[/STRIKE] take a look and follow you too!

There will be about 6-8 of us, we'd thought of making candles, bath bombs etc... but I was hoping someone would have some more suggestions of how to structure, anything else.... Should be a laugh though :T:T

Has anybody ever made a mobile phone cover ? I've just got a new one and don't want it clanging about in the bottom of my bag like the old one.......thought a little cover would be nice but don't really know where to start:o
