Popple good luck with the sock cat I'm sure it will turn out great. Share some pics with us when it's done x x

Cuddles what about a home made board game - something like this

Soulie My OH used to do pricing for his work and he told me a general rule is 3 x cost (if you don't want to include an hourly rate) so if it cost you £4.45 then £15 is about right HTH

Hi All,
I remember last year I saw that someone had made a Mr T (the A team)sock monkey and would love to make one for my hubby. can you please help me find the link for it cause I have looked and can't find it (or maybe I just dreamed that I saw it lol) Thanks

I've been making a russian doll today, the website claimed that it was a cushion but even by blowing the template up onto a3 paper it isn't even a4 in size! Will post a picture tomorrow.

Now, at last, I have sound on my PC I can follow you tube tutorials. Did a quick look last night and found the instructions for sock monkeys, so am off to buy socks tomorow. Am wondering about a sock dinosaur? probably need long socks for that.

Also found out how to use up the pieces of organza I got from poundland to make some brooches - will have a go tomorrow and post them on my blog.

I really need to step up production as we are getting too near Xmas!
