well, it looks cute at least ^^; Why didn't the soluble canvas work out? I've been looking at that too, for embellishing clothes :x

Thanks ^^
The soluble canvas worked a treat - it was just very difficult to see the holes and with the fabric being so stiff it was a real pain :( I think in future I'd just waste canvas so I could see what I'm doing better ^^;

That's cute~ I received some 'learn to crochet' & knit books on my birthday, but have yet to take a peak xD I feel like I need to find time to pick it up, as it could be a stress reliever?

Thanks ^^
I can only knit a bit myself and I'm going to learn to crochet soon (I want to make some cute amigurumi stuff!), but I do find crafting in general very therapeutic *___* You can just switch off and focus on what you're making - relaxing and you end up with something beautiful at the end :)

This is one of the books I got... http://www.amazon.com/Creepy-Cute-Crochet-Christen-Haden/dp/1594742324

ISN'T IT SO CUTE X3? I plan to make them for Halloween and distribute them instead of candy to all the kids... Then there'd be a tag that says 'want these dolls? for an addition $3 each, i can make more' xDD *has business on her mind all the time*

My mum has that book! It's so cute - she has a few of them dotted about her room :3

That's a good idea! I'd like to make money out of my stitching but I'm quite slow...and I get far to attached to what I've done ^^;
