Sewing - Hanging Hand Towel

I've been wanting to make these hanging hand towels for a while now (since I spotted them on this website ... http://kleiosbelly.wordpress.com/2010/01/04/christmas-prezzies-6-1-for-you/) and happened to spot these cute tea towels in Spotlight the other day. The intention was to make a couple for Mothers Day, however I hung this one up in my kitchen to take a photo, now I just can't bear to take it down. Think I'll have to make some more and pop them away in the present cupboard for Christmas!

 

The possibilities really are endless as I also saw some plain coloured towels (with no pattern/design) which had a matching strip of fabric along the bottom. This added that extra splash of colour which was needed to give another point of interest. What a great gift for someone who is hard to buy for!!

Iris Folding - Flower basket - General purpose card

I've been doing a bit of Iris Folding lately as I'm running a card making class for a friend of mine (and her crafty buddies) next weekend. One of the cards I'm teaching is iris folding. At this stage this will be the card we make as its one of the easiest designs with all straight cutting lines. It's also versatile and can be used as an easter card - just replace the flowers with punched out oval circles for easter eggs.
