Bewildered

Well. I never found the camera connection lead thingy. How can something like that go missing ?

I suppose if you have children in your house, that's a very silly question, but I'm completely baffled. Luckily I found the lead from our old camera and Hoorah, it fits !.

Here is the little book I was going to show the other day,

BOOK 5

ISBN4 576 04213 0

It's a very small book, with just a few patterns, but it's one of my favourites,

I love this mobile, made of wire and fabric

Pics aren't very clear, but they are better here. Click on work and the mobiles are listed there.

I also love this mobile of a cloud with little beaded wire and fabric raindrops, sorry the photo is useless, but I'm working on one of these now, so pics soon.

A quilted tea cosy that looks extremely easy to do  - I'll let you know.

Finally a very lovely owl bag made from felt.  I think the elephant is a place mat, but he could easily be made into a bag too.

This is a tiny book, it 's more inspirational, rather than pages of patterns and there are lots of cute Japanese sites listed at the back if  you ever get the time to go through them ( like that's gonna happen ).

It was also cheap, about £5  from Yesasia, so well worth it in my opinion.

My Mum and Ma-in-law gave me money for my birthday, so It's obvious what I spent it on - more books will be listed soon.

Wow.. I got this book last week.. and made lots of raindrops last night - and then i woke up and googled 'Fabric Raindrops' and you came up Ms Molly Chicken! I am making this on a grand scale for our shop window - we will have the walls papered with weather maps.. and a very big blue jumbo cord cloud.. then lots of little raindrops made for vintage 70s psychadelic fabric... and perhaps some little cocktail umbrellas too.. just to complete the rainy whimsy theme! Did you make one in the end? A mobile I mean?!
