    Hi,
    Has anyone had any problems adding photo's to a project? To me they look like they load OK but when I hit publish it says that I have no image. I wondered if it was just me.

    We've just finished watching the Black Mirror series, they were good.

    Thanks Callie. I think the shop are aiming for about 1000 poppies and by the number of knitters and crocheters joining in I think they will easily hit their target.

    I'm Shell from Cheshire, UK. I live with my husband, 3 children and 2 bunnies.
    I like to try anything crafty but I do favor machine sewing and yarn crafts. At the moment I'm making some poppies for my local wool shop which are then going to be sent to The Royal British Legion to raise money.
    Some of my other interests are analogue camera's which I collect , Art Deco design ( I love buildings from that period ) and horror films/fiction/graphic novels.

    Hi @MischievousRaven, how about baby tomatoes, spring onions or radishes. I've not grown these in a window box but in small plant pots and they grew OK. Slugs were getting a bit too fond of the radishes though so I put Vaseline around the sides of the pot to keep them away.

    Hi, I have a instax mini 8 and a instax 100. I've only used the instax 100 once due to its weight and general bulkiness to handle, the mini 8 I find far easier to use. There isn't much difference in price regarding instant film.
    An instant back which takes the mini 8 cartridge is available for the Diana F+ but this actually costs more than buying a mini 8 instax camera.

    That's a difficult one.
    I think mine is Hoopla by Leanne Prain. After having a look through my books I think the ones that I return to most feature embroidery. Some of my other fav's are Push Stitchery, Indie Craft by Jo Waterhouse and Aimee Ray's Doodle Stitching books.

    I've not stayed in any themed or unusual places but my favourite place was Ruthin Castle in North Wales. They have peacocks roaming the grounds. When we stayed it was mating season and in our room were some ears plugs and a postcard from the peacocks apologising for the noise. The grounds are also meant to be haunted by the grey lady and while we were looking for the grave one of the ground keepers asked if we wanted to go in to the dungeons and look at the bats. I adore bats and it was the only time I had seen them roosting besides on the telly.

    The last book I read was Meg by Steve Alten. Can't wait until that one is made in to a film.
    Ready Player One by Ernest Cline - Good one if you are in to retro games and virtual worlds
    Snow Crash by Neal Stephenson
    World War Z by Max Brooks - Nothing like the film and loads better. Scared me to death but I can get a bit jittery about zombies
    Geek Love by Katherine Dunn
    Hollywood Babylon by Kenneth Anger - Gossip and scandals of old film stars

    This was my last charity shop buy. I collect analogue cameras and was really pleased with this one for £15. I don't seem to see them in charity shops as much as I used to. Maybe people are listing them on Ebay instead.

    The books themselves may be organised but as you can see on the photos the shelves and tops of books end up being a dumping ground for junk. (I did consider moving all the tat for the pics so no one could see how messy I really am)Embarrassed

    Our dvd's are sorted in to categories. The cd's are in alphabetical and chronological order (well until I put them back they are)
