Red Riding Hood Magazine Collage

The Trash Revamp group have decided to start working towards a group exhibition under the theme 'Fairytales, Myths & Legends'.

We have yet to set a date as most members have a lot of commitments and so will organise once everyone is ready.

I have been working on a magazine collage based on the tale of Red Riding Hood which I finished today.

I just need to work on the frame now, all my collages are done on the backboard of a reclaimed, revamped frame.

How long should a scarf be?

I have made a crochet scarf for my mums birthday and had the usual problem of not knowing when it's long enough. I have been sticking to the method of trying it on until I think it's about right and try and imagine it with fringing!

I am happy with the length of this one though and so I will work to this size from now on.

This scarf is 54"/137.5cm before adding fringing. The fringe is 7"/18cm long each side.

Crochet Mug Warmer

I was looking for small gift ideas and came across this pattern for a mug cosy, there are lots out there but particularly liked this one!

I was really pleased with how this turned out, I just need to find some more small simple projects ready for Christmas! I know it's only September!!! It will be here before we know it and I like to make as many gifts as possible and not just because it saves me a fortune!
