Random Craft Activities

I clearly have too much time on my hands because I have finished making my Christmas presents for the year, except the extra ones for my boyfriend. So I decided I would carry on with my dress for Laura's party since it's not long away!

With all the pattern pieces pinned on, laid out ready to cut.  
  
I also (for part of my boyfriend's Christmas present) needed to do some very tiny knitting, so I came upon the idea of 'micro-knitting'. I made needles from two bits of thickish gauge wire which I curled round at the end to stop the knitting slipping off the other end. I used embroidery floss split into individual threads so very thin 'yarn'. Very fiddly and a bit frustrating, I don't think I'll be branching out into knitting tiny mouse sized jumpers any time soon but it did the trick for what I wanted!
