Blog Backgrounds

Another source for some lovely backgrounds can be found over at Ivy's. I know I can't help myself with the backgrounds. I love changing them often. There are so many terrific backgrounds I can't resist.

Free Quilting has a pattern you can make a travelers pillow bag...now I love this idea...when hubby and I travelled to the States for 3 months I took my own pillow..I just sleep better with my own pillow...I didn't even think to make a bag for it...I had to cart it under my arm.

This is a great idea.....stitch a greeting card. Prick and Stitch Is My Craft has some stitchery and instructions on how to make greeting cards using a simple stitchery for the front of the card. This sounds simple enough and would make a lovely change from the norm.

Folding Fabric

Okay so this is not a real fun subject but take a look at how neat and organised Sew Diva Diane is. How good would this be to have your fabric nicely folded and put away in your cupboard.
