As well as the roofing felt (Tyvek equivalent) I often use Polyfilla One Fill which is just gorgeous - a very fine, ready-made paste which is much cheaper than moulding paste and does the job just as well. I also use poultry grit from the agricultural merchants for creating fabulous texture, and the other day I rescued some plastic meat trays from the casserole I was making, because of the lovely embossed texture on the bottom! My hubby retires in a few weeks and I am going to have to watch the pennies a bit more, and try and reserve them for the gel mediums, paints and other stuff there's no substitute for. It's fun to be frugal!<br /><br />As for the knitting, that's another frugal project, being made from an unravelled knitted dress. It's worth persevering with, because I am sure I shall be pleased with it when it's finished.<br /><br />Shoshi #12Shoshihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00028185699225457125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6930416465746558041.post-38741314906343871922014-04-11T19:22:55.992+01:002014-04-11T19:22:55.992+01:00Lots of lovely projects, Jan, and I particularly l...Lots of lovely projects, Jan, and I particularly like the crochet - the rainbow blanket is beautiful!<br /><br />Happy belated WOYWW,<br />Shoshi #12Shoshihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00028185699225457125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6930416465746558041.post-84830921789810298552014-04-11T17:24:12.391+01:002014-04-11T17:24:12.391+01:00Hi Jan

Belated wishes for a happy birthday to your No.1 Son. Your rainbow blanket is absolutely stunning and your desk looks a hive of activity - I'm sure your 'bits' will sell well for your charity. My outdoor desk is looking very much like yours now ... lots of little pots of seedlings coming along quite nicely. Love your tree decked in blossom ... am impatiently waiting for mine to burst into bloom, any day now I think. That's an amazing shot of the heron too. Have a great week.

The baby blanket is wonderful - I love those colors too! But what really got me is the rainbow chemo blanket - so lovely. I just found a pattern for a chemo doll and have been thinking of making a few to donate. I lost my mom to ovarian cancer about a year and a half ago, so that's a cause near and dear to my heart.

And your table looks like a craft fair with those beautiful totes - what a wonderful cause. I work on a university campus, and I see people with low vision and blindness and their guide dogs all the time, and I adore those sweet working dogs. Well isn't it a hoot that I'm no. 1? Half the time I forget to post until well into Wednesday morning. Or sometimes I'll remember just before I'm going to bed. But last night I was knitting and watching "Call the Midwife" on the DVR and I went to get a big strawberry with some nutella, and it just happened to hit me, that maybe Julia had the linky up, and she did, and nobody had posted! I couldn't believe it because usually there are five people vying for the no. 1 spot every week. So funny. Please take pics at the event! Hugs dearest!
