    @Florenceem foundation row is dc (uk) all other rows are dc into back of stitch creating a rib effect which is slightly stretchy.

    @emsi_b thanks. They were cheap when we bought them but have such sturdy frames. We arnt doing lounge for a couple of years. I have just been watching youtube vids about filling and painting/ dying but it looks like there is limitex success on faux leather. I think that I might consider paying an upholsterer when the time comes but was hoping for a cheap fix. I think it is throws or nothing. 😂.

    I love your cards. So pretty.

    Made another wreath today to gift to my mum - similar to mine but with just flowers (no bunting, that way she can have it out all year round), forgot to take a pic.  

    Have been browsing pinterest/youtube for card ideas to inspire me to get going, lots of supplies but no gadgets so will all be basic.  Also planning to get a rag wreath made up for my hallway for the summer months - the fabric stash has also made me want to make another table runner and napkins.

    @x_raphael_xx - love The Hobbit and LOTR. I am on series' at the minute. Ive watched all GOT and The walking dead so now I'm catching up on Fear The Walking Dead. I would say try watching a series. Maybe Wheel Of Time on Netflix if you like fantasy stuff or The Witcher with Henry Cavill (your welcome!)
    I tried to get into Wheel of Time, (loved the books) it didn't seem to work for me. I may try again.
    Walking dead I enjoyed until the last few seasons, then it felt very same-y, more focused on other gangs instead of the threat of zombies.
    I do love The Witcher, was sad to hear HC won't be back for series 3.
    @x_raphael_xx game of thrones is always worth rewatching. Have to say I am partial to the Hound myself
    You spelt 'Khal Drogo' wrong ;)
