    I can't really knit many textures so I thought ribbons and random bits of other yarn would be cool for this purse I'm making, but now I think it looks rubbish! Maybe I can add to it later? Maybe when I've finished it and put it together it will look ok? What do you think to how it looks so far?

    I have loads of things to finish but I just started baby booties. I dunno if I'm doing it right or not, its all in knit, but for some reason it looks like ive done 2 rows of purl and then 2 rows of knit so I dunno but the pattern looks pretty cool so...we'll see.

    Which projects use square/half round wire?

    I find my wire in a craft shop but recently I got given a load for free. Let me decide if I really want to keep it and if not we could do a swap or something, it's never been used.

    I did a really quick search on German ebay, I'm not fluent in German but hopefully you'll find the right type here:

    http://wohnen.shop.ebay.de/items/Hobby-Kunstlerbedarf__wire_W0QQ_catrefZ1QQ_flnZ1QQ_fromfsbZQQ_sacatZ8423QQ_trksidZp3286Q2ec0Q2em282

    You'd probably be able to create wire wrapping jewellery easily with any type of craft wire and some good pliers. It takes practice though.

    edit: i'm trying to get the picture of the wire to upload, it's completely up to you if you want it or not. I'll try putting the picture up tomorrow.

    So I've gone 3 months with only making a card! - because of working. I have knitting and crochet projects half finished every where so as of tomorrow I'm getting them started again. And I'm going to get some cheap fabric if I go out tomorrow, hopefully, if the sale is still on at this place and start making embroidery peices to sell online. Knitting actual clothes is out of the question because I don't have the patience and can't afford nice enough yarn for it but I'm hoping to make some pillows and stuff Happy

    Isn't that because diamonds are basically carbon and we're mostly carbon when we're ashes or just mostly carbon anyway? I don't like that idea really though, each to their own though. I want an eco friendly coffin so that I don't use up wood and don't give off so much ikky stuffs, and then I want what's left to be burried with a tree on top, I know I said you're dead you're not gonna know before but it's nice to feel that you'd leave a kind of legacy 'my nan's gravestone is a tree' they would say! although I'd like a plaque infront of it! maybe that was the point of the skull that started the topic, a legacy sort of thing.

    but you become like mud and stuff if you're cremated and are scattered, I like that though you make the trees all nice, I don't like the idea of being in a jar on a mantel peice though, I find that quite weird.

    I'd rather be cremated.

    You're dead, you're not gonna know if you're buried or what, you become the mud and the trees and plants, now that's not beautiful, that's POETRY!
