Thanks Tanya! To do her hair, I put floss through the head at the top from front to back, pulled the floss and stuck it back through the same hole I just made and out the back again. This leaves a string end hanging from the front & the back…

The great thing about recycled and refashioned clothing is the way that old clothes, styles and fabrics inspire the designers to create something gorgeous and new.
I wanted to respond to you cross-stitch questions. When I work from a kit, the first thing I do is organize all my threads. When stitching, I always start from the middle of the pattern (and the fabric). As far as how to handle the threads on the…
I have been cross-stitching since I was a child. My mom taught me how so that I would have something to do while I was home from school in the summer. I'm presently working on a kit by Janlynn of an Old World Map. I'm close to finishing,…
Thanks Tanya! To do her hair, I put floss through the head at the top from front to back, pulled the floss and stuck it back through the same hole I just made and out the back again. This leaves a string end hanging from the front & the back with a loop on top. You stick several strands of yarn through the hole and pull the strings. This tightens the loop around the yarn. full nice & tight then tie a few times. If you pack them about an inch apart it makes for a full head of hair, especially when it's curly. This is the easiest way I've found to apply hair other than needle felting.

I haven't done much in this area, since I didn't realize that little by little my sight was getting fuzzy. I kept cleaning my glasses non-stop. For everyone to know, if your sight isn't what it used to be, don't hesitate to get new lense implants. They'll last forever. I did have to pay an extra $5,000 because insurance would only pay for the operation and regular implants, but the ones I selected give you near, far and inbetween vision -- no glasses. On the down side, with only having this one eye done so far, I can see my wrinkles, dust, etc. so when the second eye gets done, I'll probably see my wrinkles even better, but I'll have an even bigger smile because I can see so much better.
