    You like rockabilly stuff, yeah? How about you get a cool cowboy shirt, take it in to fit nicely and either embroider or stencil or iron on some designs =)

    Ooh cross-stitching is a good thing to do if you're just sat by yourself for a while!

    Christ! That's rubbish honey, I'm sorry. You could knit a jumper or something? Or yeah, crochet. I guess it's just making the best of the situation. I know it's horrible if you like to be doing stuff and you're down for ages, but it is a good time to do all that stuff you couldn't before. You could learn card making? I think you should pimp your wheelchair with glitter and ribbons!

    I don't know really, I know how to make tops out of scarves but the issue may be with the fact that it's silk

    Well for the mask you just need a paper mache thing. Is that a tattoo or something on the arm? You could replicate that with henna. You can obviously use black gloves for the arms but I'm not sure what for the metal bit, maybe a thick silver material? Or some sprayed cardboard?

    I'll probably just get my dad a couple of bottles of non-alcoholic beer. Buying presents for my dad is a tricky science; it has to look like I've made an effort, but only because I *had* to, and not because I actually like him. It's difficult to get the balance right

    I've published the laptop cover tutorial, so everyone go check that out when it's been approved =)

    By the way, I found this AWESOME thing. You can go on the Lego website and choose different parts of lego to buy so you can make it up yourself. So I bought the parts necessary to make a me and Tim out of Lego! Come on, that's amazing. His has got a head with glasses, grey top, blue jeans and blonde girls hair (haha), and mine's got a smiley face with black top and black trousers and a brown ponytail. And I got a whip, but I have to decide who gets that hehe

    Okay I'm about...half way done, knitting wise. I've been going solidly for about four hours. But after that long of knitting and watching Black Books you go a little crazy...I feel ill.

    I keep messing up and dropping stitches and things haha but I'm hoping he'll just appreciate it as some of its home-made charm

    Thankyouthankyou. I felt like I was going insane for a second, like it was really obvious that it was a bad idea and I was just too stupid to realise it.

    Ooh bottlecap stamps sounds good

    Okay I need to know whether the laptop case idea is good now, because I just went out and told my mum I was gonna do that and she burst out laughing, and then said "Will he want you to knit a laptop case?" which just bothers me SO MUCH because I know he'd love it, he loves that I'm crafty and I thought I'd do it in yellow and black stripes because he's begging me to make him a yellow and black jumper and I know it'd be so cute and I could maybe actually do it, despite the fact that I'm completely incompetent, but my mum just fucking has to put that little bit of doubt in my mind and make me freak out.

    You made stamps?!

    I've found out what size his laptop is and I think I'm gonna knit him a laptop cover. What I might do though is knit it, then line it with fabric so it holds a bit better. I had to ask him what laptop he had which may have given it away a bit, but I managed to find out the measurements and things by myself, so I'll probably do a paper mock-up so I can get it the right size. I think if that's his main present, then I give him the ash tray, beer glasses, love poem book and pillowcase, they can be like the smaller presents to back it up, and I'll put them all in a nice box =)

    And he agreed that if I get more for him than he get for me (my birthday's two days before his), he'll have to make it up to me some other way, so I'm no longer worried about going overboard =P
