Notebooks

My sister sent me Making Stuff for Christmas last year. By far the best craft in there is the notebook made from recycled record covers. I've been stocking up on funny old record sleeves for a while now and just got a few birthday presents together. I'm not really into paper crafts, but this one requires the use of needle and thread, so it was right up my tree.




The girls wanted in on the action, so we used a few of their gelatine collages as covers for a few machine sewn numbers. Stocked up on birthday presents till November!

Rainbow Wool

Using the great tutorial over here, we got to work (it was quite easy actually) this weekend and dyed this lot up. I really can't believe the results. I think I may have to invest in a microwave just for this purpose. I've spent the whole day casually walking by and admiring it! The wee girls did the food colouring part and have decided they want rainbow scarfs. Highly recommend trying this.
