Glad it arrived safely! It's punch needle, not latch hook. I think the two are similar, and there are a few posts about it on the forum, like this one viewtopic.php?f=3&t=7928&p=55810&hilit= ... dle#p55810

It's fun and easy to do - assuming you can transfer the image you want onto the fabric (this was the tricky bit in my opinion) and quite therapeutic. You just stab the needle in over and over again, great to do after a tough day at work!

From Merryweather - a really nice slotted hanging frame with.. a character (but not sure who! /brainfail) from LoZ!

You are very welcome :grin: I always just called him the grumble grumble guy..... :D
I think so, Brain, but can the gummi worms really live in peace with the marshmallow chicks?
I think so, Brain, but if they called them "sad meals" nobody would buy them.

Of course not even an hour had passed since giving a late reply to BMH regarding a 2nd swap parcel, when said parcel arrived!

From the lovely gamerwolff: Shiny Mew sprites arranged in a cool pattern, and a pretty beaded ring (great colour choices, by the way!)

Thanks very much gamerwolff, I love them :D

So sorry it took forever to get to you! :blush:

They got lost in the mail and made it back to me eventually and i had to resend them i swear the US mailing system is so FUBAR! :banghead:

I was going to make you a biscornu...but i've never made one and wasnt sure how it would turn out, but i might make one for myself with shiny mew on one side and regular mew on the other....

Anyway I'm glad you like them!!!! :grin:

I received a make up gift earlier this week but with my hectic work schedule I haven't had a chance to post until now.

Very colorful Majora's Mask magnet
