Furo.....what?

The talented and creative Denise from Freshly Found demonstrates the Japanese art of Furoshiki....don't worry I hadn't heard of it either...okay, maybe you have heard of it, anyway...isn't it just lovely! And something that the sewingly challenged among us can realistically attempt. Just scoot on over here to see how Denise did it.

My kind of wreath

I love these fresh, funky fabric Christmas wreaths by the talented Manda from Treefall Design. The first one is made from squares of wool felt and buttons. They're really easy to make too, Manda has easy to follow instructions on her blog. She also has an Etsy shop where you will find a delightful range of cushions, tote bags, softies and baby bibs.
