A Couple of Nice Results

Cor, flippin' 'eck, these iron-on motifs are brilliant.

I was a bit daunted by the instructions which said that an ironing board wouldn't be of any use as it didn't get hot enough!!

So, I used the back of an old wooden bread board - which certainly did conduct the heat nicely.

The vintage fine cotton pillowcase I got last week from the charity shop proved to be the ideal fabric to use - finely woven, plain-coloured and really soft.

I was really pleased with the results and can foresee everyone getting one of these motifs on a Christmas card this year.  (Mum, have a guess which one your's will be!!)

I did have one 'oh, b*gger it' result with this lovely plum-coloured polar bear.  The iron-on slipped a bit and I ended up with a shadow effect.  A*se, and I really liked this one too.

Also a nice result was the pear fool which we had for pudding yesterday evening - very yummy and more-ish - which was just as well as there is still quite a lot left.

Great images, those will be fun. Glad to hear your fool was yummy.

I've never seen those types of transfers before. Good idea to use them on christams cards.

The post about you altering your waistbands made me smile as I keep putting off altering a too long pair of trousers. Think I'm going to rename my blog Queen of Prevatrication as I'm really good at putting stuff off.

Dear Liz,

DN has made a claim to the bear. He said, please can he have it? If he can, please can it be posted to him?

Thanks.
