New From HOW, From a New Perspective!

Ahoy there fellow Wonderlanders!

I am sorry to say that Tess has been bogged down with so much work lately she hasn't had a chance to post a new blog. So, instead, you are stuck with me! Arrr!

I'm told that I am to talk about any new stuff that's been going on here at HOW HQ and not talk about my brand new pirate ship :( I guess I'll get straight into it :)

Lately Tess has made these FANTASTIC paper cuts! She has made a brilliant Studio Ghibli based one, with a little help from me, and some nagging to put more Chibis on it.

After a bit more nagging from me, she made this Dr Who one!

Then, after locking me out of the room (no idea why!), she made her favourite one yet, DISNEY!! Which I think is made perfect by little Timone :D

You can buy all of these on ebay for now:

Lastly, Tess kept her hands busy by making this amazing little Eve from Wall-E! Unfortunately, she isn't for sale, despite how much everybody loves her :P But hopefully, one day she'll have her Wall-E to keep her company :D

Spiffing Notebook Labels

Today I have been organising all my lists! Who'd of thought a girl can have so many different lists? Lists to make lists! So I decided it's time to sort this out... I had these notebooks lying about and had to go to Tesco to purchase a diary (until I find my other one OOOOPS!)

So I created the spiffing little labels to go on the front.
Get yours here: Craftsy

Print your labels at best quality. (You could print them on label paper too ;))

I then laminated mine (because I like shiny) and then cut them out.

Next just glue them down with your favourite glue! I like UHU

And Taaaa dahhhh! Prepare to be organised!

I hope you enjoy using these labels. Please DO NOT SELL ANY PRODUCTS MADE FROM THIS DESIGN & PLEASE DO NOT RE-DISTRIBUTE THIS PATTERN! Thank you!!!!!! :)

Just keep knitting...

So since yesterday there has been more progress on the Prym Maxi Knitting Mill! Today I have made up these gorgeous cotton wash cloths. You could replicate this pattern without the knitting mill too! It is created across 44 pegs and has a total of 40 rows and knitted in stockinette stitch. The wash cloths have 2 layers and are joined together at the ends like a sandwich!

How awesome would these be for gifting? Guess what EVERYONE is getting for Christmas this year?...
