I've finished my first length of ribbon using half stitch and cloth for use in a piece of jewellery...not that I've quite worked out what the piece of jewellery will look like.

I stuffed my old pin cushion into my Care Bear mug from when I was a kid, it's been at the back of a cupboard for years, but for some reason it worked its way into the mugs we use every day.

Why don't they make better, more secure lids for dress pin boxes? I've already had to have an inch of one surgically removed from my foot after waking around on it for a week...this was a year and a half ago, just as I started my masters. It had buried itself in my carpet despite the fact that I'd taken a magnet over the floor to get them all up and it stayed then snapped when it went into my foot.
