Yet more Flickr favourites!

I really should stop rummaging around on Flickr - there are so many lovely things that I want to make right now!!  Once I've finished the white totoro, I think slippers will be next, and then I think I'll have to start a granny square blanket, having seen all the gorgeous ones on Flickr!  It will require a whole new stash of pretty coloured yarn though... what a shame!!

Papercuts as inspiration

I loved this image, based on a papercut. I like the way the words have been written as part of the image. This is an idea that I could use, with much simpler images and the lettering handwritten rather than cut out.
