Crafty Thread - what are you working on at the moment?

[trashpony]

Have you been to Hobbycraft?

Seriously spirals/biddly - you could tie bits of gold thread to the tops of your cats and owls and people would buy them as Xmas ornaments. OMG - we should get a stall at the South Bank next winter I reckon selling cutie decorations You could easily sell them for £3-4 each

Not for a while...but it is a favourite of mine Bought the star hole punch from a little craft shop in Burnham that I think is due to close as the area it is in is being redeveloped

OMG those are sooooo cute!

I can't claim the credit for the design, I found it here http://nuno-runo.blogspot.com/2009/08/mini-cat.html

I'm not sure whether to hang them or stick them on bobby pins so they can sit on the branches.

if you can get em to balance you have my total respect (i'd go for the dangly option myself)

 

[Biddlybee]

I'd stick a bit of glue or velcro to the bobby pins

 

[wayward bob]

i still reckon they're gonna make that inexorable journey towards head-down but don't let my pessimism put you off

 

[Biddlybee]

I'm a little bored of sewing, but tbh can't knit with my crap fingers atm.

 

[wayward bob]

can you staple em together?

 

[Biddlybee]

 

[wayward bob]

[Biddlybee]

nope to staples

[Biddlybee]

I'm too tired, I'll try on Saturday

 

[wayward bob]

ah so wols is done, is just the attaching? i was thinking you were still sewing the buggers together you need a hot glue gun and if you don't have one you know what to ask santa for now

 

[Biddlybee]

they're all finished (you saw a pic yesterday no? ) they're going on my tree on Saturday, and I've already put in my request to santa for this year, so not glue gun for me.

I ran into Hobbycraft, asked them where their velcro was and made a swift exit, that place is scary

 

[Biddlybee]

lol, I've never been in

 

[wayward bob]

they're all finished (you saw a pic yesterday no? )

I'm glad they changed glue guns and made them a bit cooler, I had some NASTY burns in the early 90s off those fuckers

i've got a head full of shit about ww2 german stratageis. can't think fo creative stuyff atm. gluing my son's gob shut is appealing though

 

[wayward bob]

the thought of gluing hitler tashes onto things that annoy me simply by existing appeals to me as well
