The Crafter and Artists Sticky Thread

:lol: Oh dear. I got a cheap chopping board from the poundstore and I cover it with baking paper to maintain a smooth texture. I also use surgical gloves to handle the clay to prevent finger print marks and keep my hands clean :) The major problem is dropping tiny bits on the carpet and then accidentally rubbing it in :oops: I might have a rainbow carpet thing going on :lol:

:lol: Rainbow carpet sounds good! :p Hmm surgical gloves may have to buy me some! *ponders* Thanks for the tips! It is messy but so much fun and as proven by you the results are fantastic! :love:

You're so sweet :love:

Ebay is great for lots of gloves at cheap prices. I bought 4 boxes last year and I still have two left :D

another bunny cross stitch for me today - I'm trying to get stuff made for a craft fair next month, but noticed tonight that the last two bunny things I've made have disappeared into Dd's bedroom!!!! :roll: I'll have to sneak them out tomorrow when she's back at school and hope she doesn't notice :lol:

This is lovely, I really like it. Did you make the pattern yourself or did you buy it as a set?xx

thanks, I found the pattern on this website - Martha Stewart - scroll through to find the rabbit ;)

Edited to add - those patterns are for personal use only - I'm using my cross stitch buns for a craft fair display board, they will not be sale items ;)

They will be lovely on a display board..you could do lot's of different coloured ones and make it all bright and pretty. I'm trying to teach myself how to knit but I just can't get the hang of it, grr!! xx

thanks, I've tried knitting many times too and could never get the hang of it :? :roll: then about 5 years ago I taught myself crochet from looking at online tutorials and I find that so much easier and more enjoyable to do :D
