1. My chart holder. I love working with charts, especially for lace projects. One of those could cost a fortune in specialty stores, but I made mine with a 99 cents board, and a moving loop made of a piece of trim held together at the back with some elastic band. The rest is done by post-it notes, to indicate pattern details.
2. I think I 've mentioned before Sunny's fascination with my bamboo knitting needles. Look what she did to one! Chewed it to the point it broke. If I wasn't worried she 'd hurt herself I 'd just give it to her, but as it is, this poor needle has been withdrawn from service for the time being. In case of need, however, it can be used - but not as a dpn- with a rubber band at the broken end.
3. I love the new fabric squares I 've been collecting recently:
yellows and oranges
(complete with kitty paw)

4. Lastly, I had read that a piece of flannel will work as design board for quilting, as the cotton will simply stick to it if pressed. I had never tested it, until the new squares arrived. So I pulled out the only flannel sheet we have, and stuck a few squares on it.

What an appropriate name for your blog! And what lovely fabrics... I can't wait for my sewing machine to work again, sigh...
Looking forward to seeing you soon!
