    Dizzytina thats a great bag your daughter will love it.

    Here is a brooch that I had a go at after browsing blogs and seeing that a lot of people are making these sort of things. As I've got lots of bits of material it's just the job for using up bits. Made the yellow felt but still not got the hang of it so its a bit puffy rather than flat! It's 3 1/2" by just over 2" so quite big but thought it would look good attached to a brown scarf.

    Lovely Job! Funny, I was just thinking that fabric looked familiar! Hope your friend recovers soon!

    They had packs of felt in The Works yesterday for £1.99, the sheets are A4 size and you get a good variety of colours. Hope it helps someone, Rufus xx

    Thats cool, I'm still going, not as quick as you! Advantage of that is that I can steal some of your ideas for ornaments:D especially like the paper chain & the pudding!
