Here is a lovely cats chart. You can decorate your towel or make a card with one or two cats, oh, and a mouse as well. Also, it is lovely to make the full chart stitch. Cats people, like me, just can't refuse this cute design.

How To Make an Easy Cartonnage
I fell in love with the cartonnage from the first moment I got to know it. After saw so many beautiful cartonnages, I made my first easy verion one.
My easy cartonnage was made from my daughter's teddy box. It is not perfect shaped. Next time I would try to make a real cartonnage with 3mm cardboard.
Leaving some margin for the fabric is a good idea. Also, don't forget to wash and iron them.
The tools I used were very simple. For the best result, the bookbinding glue is recommended. It is not too runny and too tacky, just perfect for the job. Of course, the multiple function glue can do the job too.

Cross Stitch: Will You Join Me For Dinner
This cute cross stitch kit is on my wish list now. It is designed by Heritage Craft which was formerly known as Heritage Stitchcraft. There are two options, 14 count and 27 count. I won't dare to go with 27 count. The size is 14 x 29 cms.
The cheapest one I found online is £13.95 with free postage. Not too bad. I think I will go for it. Anybody else like it?
