Brilliant!

Hi all!

I've been painting my canvas this afternoon because I don't dare cut the fleece! My laminate ended up blue with paint!! So I've also spent some time wiping the floors so the other half doesn't notice and ask what the hell I've been up to.

Like I said I'm a bit worried about cutting them because I cannot cut a straight line to save my life and my ruler is something I haven't found while unpacking our moving boxes. Hmmmm originally I was just going to cut the thread and pull it out but as Soblivion said I'm worried that will leave big holes in it. Argh! May need to wait for the other half to get home and get him to help me hehe.

My fleeces from Ikea have fringes so I need to cut those off and like you know I can't cut straight I haven't had a go at making one yet but hope to this week sometime.

These could be made from fleece and added to hampers/nappycakes or just as a small gift with pyjamas

I've been really naughty Rainmac and have just cut out the stitching! You can see holes but they are pretty small and once they have been cut and tied you won't see them at all. I've stripped the thread from two of my six blankets and will cut the strips in two of them them tonight as I've just about finished my cross stitch and so need something to sit and do while I watch TV in the evening. I've got to a point where I have to do something with my hands now lol

I have made this cushion cover for my niece who is expecting her first baby and has a nursing chair already.

I crocheted the panel then attached it to a linen cushion from Drapers. I have a blue 1 or some pink flowers to add as we dont know if it is a little boy or girl yet.

Really sorry everyone, Im sure I have saved the link for reindeer because i remember seeing a pic but can't find either now.
