Hi
I have just started painting again after a break of 2 years, oils mainly and sketches. I do enjoy it when I get started but find it hard to motivate myself to start.
I do cross stitch and jigsaws but again its hard to start but i keep trying.

I REALLY need some help ( mirry, you sound like you could help!)... I may have brought a bit of a dodgy sewing machine... It only goes forwards, and will only go slow or slower. I can sew with a normal machine no worries, just wondering how I finish my seam with a one way machine? I am used to shoving it in reverse to lock the stitch, or doing the overlock thing... But now I am just stuck scratching my head. I need a solid finish cause its for a tight lampshade.
If anyone can help me with my dilema I would be SOOO greatful . I am starting my project tomorrow once my material has dried, I am worried I will end up with one loose seam, and me sat there scratching my head!!!!
If it goes well I will put a pic up of my finished lamp for all of you to ooh and ahh over lol.
Cheers all.

hi lea , sorry just notised your post , since its been moved here i foget to look .
what sort of machine have you got ? maybe we could look online to see what it can or cant do ? Im not that good with machines but i think piglet may be if i remember right ?
Or have you sorted it all out now, cant wait to see the finished product .
The bag i made my daughter , i wrapped up for xmas without thinking of taking a photo , lol . so will take a snap after xmas day now .
take care crafters xxx
I managed to figure it out in the end, I just left long enough thread at the end to hand sew it tight. There was no way that baby was going backwards at all!!!
I do have a pic, but not all that sure of how to upload it (will check and pop it up here onceI know how!)... The lamp still has a few things I need to do to it, but it is more or less done and I was so pleased with myself!
Well done on the bag... And dont forget your camera on Christmas day!
well done , cant wait to see it , you can upload it onto photo bucket , then onto here (thats how i do it).
My camera is ready and waiting ,lol.
take care

Once I get the craft fairs and xmas out the way I will definatley post some pictures for you to see , mag I love the idea of getting lovely wall paper to cover up cheap note books...what a fab idea !
Wow, just thinking ( yes it does happen sometimes) Id love to try that and have beaded tassles hanging from it to match........great Idea mag, cos when i was in WHSMITHS the fancy note books were expensive if I remember correctly ? .............mmmmmmm
now Im thinking , what about covering a pencil in the same paper to match ?
This is fun !

It makes perfect sense to me I'm afraid!!
