Hello!
Quick question- what is decent glue that one can use to attach plastic charms to ring backs and brooch backs? Something tells me hot glue won't hold as well as I would like it to.
Will post pictures when I've made a few goodies!
Thanks in advance.

Tree skirt

Does anyone know of a free pattern for a Christmas Tree skirt - I'm thinking it won't be that difficult to make  without a pattern, but still wanted to see if there was anything out there!


Thanks in advance :D

Knitting / DPN's question

[xreesex.livejournal.com]

So, I've figured out how to knit in the round with double pointed needles, but am having trouble once the number of stitches decrease more and more. I find it really hard to continue knitting, everything starts to feel too tight to keep going, and I worry about it looking sloppy. I then get frustrated and put the project down, so at the moment, I have about 4 unfinished hats.


Any tips on easier ways to knit smaller areas with dpn's? Or easier ways to knit the crowns of hats? Any advice would be helpful, as I haven't found a whole lot of useful information online. Thanks!

Tulip clips in felt grass

[evel.livejournal.com]

I picked up some tulip bag clips, and decided to plant them in felt grass on my fridge. I need to go back and buy at least another four. There's actually two rows of pockets so the tulips don't all sit at the same height, but I didn't think to highlight that before I took a picture.

Sewing machine issues:(

Sewing machine issues:(
Just today I am having an issue with my machine, it's sewing the stitches the wrong side up, whilst using the zig zag stitch I noticed that the zig zag was actually on the wrong side of the fabric, on the back side, instead of on the top! I tried other stitches and it's the same thing. Also every so often a stitch is really loose too.
The only thing I did differently to the machine is change the needle, any idea what has happened to it?

If anyone can tell me, that would be great!

Daughter and Gifting

[my-dawning-star.livejournal.com]

I have the cutest kid alive. She is having surgery the week of Thanksgiving (and her birthday). She won't be able to talk (tonsils, adenoids, and some ear action) and has to be in bed for about a week. She is six soon to be seven. Here's the kicker...she broke her arm this week. I am trying to think of fun things she can do in her room (she's crafty and 6 years old) but she has only her left hand(and she is right handed) to do crafts with... It can't be complicated because she can't ask me questions. Please help me make this time not super miserable for her!!!
