Paper snowflakes - and the cr-aftermath!

We decided at Joy of Sew Towers to cut some paper snowflakes to decorate our Christmas table.   We have two layers of glass as a top, you see, and we planned to squish the flakes between the two.  Me, the grown-up girl and the little boy folded, snipped and revealed until we had a table full.  Some are your standard eight-pointers, but there are a few sixers, fourteeners, tenners.  Lovely.  Even the drifts of hundred of tiny paper snips (which are STILL appearing from underneath furniture like sneaky little mice) were worth it!  Merry Chrimbo all!

    I love this. I can also see this being used to great effect on curtains, tablecloths, napkins etc.

Happy How-Tuesday: today it's coin purses...

Morning my lovelies Today I though I'd bring you a lovely tutorial which I found on one of my favourite blogs, How About Orange . It's for a clever and extremely cute coin purse which is entirely made out of a zip! It requires hand sewing, a long long zip and some mind-bending spatial awareness. This month's edition of Mollie Makes mag has some super-cute ribbon as a freebie, so I may give it a go. If you don't hear from me for a bit, perhaps one of you could pop round and cut me free...
