I dread to think how long it would have taken on my own.We have had the map of our town up on the wall there for quite a while, just sitting there on it's own. A few weeks ago I had the idea to mark all the schools in town, on the map. That has...

To match the towel wrap for my hair that I made the other day I also made a Spa Wrap. I used a pattern from Sew4home but I did not make the ribbon straps.As you can see, the wrap is trimmed with a patterned fabric, has a pocket and a flower, which is removable. The strips fo fabric for the trimming need to be 8 inches wide. I have a large quilting ruler but it is only 6 inches wide, so I marked...

I've been meaning to make one of these for SO long now and finally decided to just knuckle down and get it done. A towel wrap for my hair.I have to admit that I have a large head, very large, in fact even men's extra large hats don't fit me! SO in order to get a towel wrap that would fit me well and encompass all of my hugely long hair I knew I needed to make my own. I decided to...

I spend a lot of time at my computer. An awful lot of time. Probably far more than I should.I also need to get healthy, and part of that is exercise. A few years ago we bought a treadmill, but never quite used it very much. I realised this was because it took time out of my day and I wondered if there was a way to combine the exercise with something I already do, so that it...
