    Karmacookie - I really like that fleece pillow/blanket idea.
    I'm sorry to hear you are having a crappy day - I hope you get to the bottom of the fraud thing and get your money back asap!

    Sewing bits and bobs might help to take your mind of things, it does with me, when I'm concentrating on what I'm doing (usually with my tongue sticking out) even for a little while I forget everything else.

    Kandipandi, i completely agree, sewing is a very good form of therapy. (and i stick my tounge out too, much to my OH's amusement.) :p

    That's a very cute dress Bunny. Bravo!

    I don't know about anyone else but sewing isn't the only 'craft' I like.

    So what other crafts do we like to do in our 'spare time'.

    I Like:

    Cardmaking
    Jewellery
    Mosaics
    Knitting
    Baking (is that a craft)

    Hi

    Found this the other day, thought it looked good and very usefull
    http://www.isew.co.uk/kids_makes/quillow-c-00041.htm

    When I make quilts for my grandchildren I always turn them into quillows by adding the pocket on the back. That way they can use them in the car, on holidays, sleepovers etc.

    Unfortunately I have no photos to show you as I wrapped the quilts for Christmas before thinking of recording my work!!
