Funnily enough these cats are unlike any of the others we've had before, and they don't mind the rain in the slightest, really unusual, which makes me wonder if they were indoor cats before they came to us! <br />Barbara xxFlashinScissorshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06408946289711452871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5652096409954439984.post-35792976170390335202016-07-04T08:09:03.529+01:002016-07-04T08:09:03.529+01:00Great key covers and I hope you and the felines ca...Great key covers and I hope you and the felines can escape the bedroom soon.

Shame I didn't do it straight away, within a day I had lost "Lemon and Lime" but we luckily found it near our front door behind a planter. That was how come I washed the cover - it was wet and muddy from all the rain. But the plus side is I now know I definitely need to line all the covers, and they will wash up extremely well! <br />Perhaps that will remove the residue of the Frixion pens too, something else to check. xxxFlashinScissorshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06408946289711452871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5652096409954439984.post-75649310565931584972016-07-03T07:09:09.969+01:002016-07-03T07:09:09.969+01:00Oh my, that's really tiny.

I agree with Kate, the frixon pens which work so well don´t completely disappear, all depends on the temperature.Sherylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07967761486107175671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5652096409954439984.post-73660114072137352032016-06-29T17:08:42.147+01:002016-06-29T17:08:42.147+01:00Your key protectors look great Barbara, but you wo...Your key protectors look great Barbara, but you won't like what I'm going to say next. Erixon pen ink never disappears. As long as the fabric is at an ok temperature you won't see the lines, but if it gets very cold they will appear again, sorry. <br />Smiles<br />KateKate @ Smiles From Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17525561534884021883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5652096409954439984.post-11063016473315263112016-06-28T17:26:40.769+01:002016-06-28T17:26:40.769+01:00So many great ideas in this post from making your ...So many great ideas in this post from making your own patterned fabric to the larger seams!

We don't have that problem, hubby's issue is not being able to find them because he puts them down in a different place every time he comes home!<br />I use felt tipped pens quite often, I've used them to colour plain aida, both as a pattern and instead of stitching a plain background. I've also used them to add some colour to back stitched flowers for cards. They are very versatile!Jo who can't think of a clever nicknamehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02663450738390351663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5652096409954439984.post-28589876453976326882016-06-26T13:20:46.371+01:002016-06-26T13:20:46.371+01:00I take my hat off!

I was happy to read about your work with crayons; it IS an easy way to 'fake' patchwork, isn't it?<br />The finished key covers look smart and apart from keeping the keys from getting damaged, the covers will reduce the noise of clattering keys and also make it easy to find the right key. I'd say you've killed THREE birds with one stone.Queeniepatchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13281330411053716603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5652096409954439984.post-39457727433280910882016-06-26T12:36:44.122+01:002016-06-26T12:36:44.122+01:00Excellent solution to a tiny problem.

I simply couldn't imagine trying to sew such teeny tiny pieces so it was a huge relief to see how you actually did it. Still impressive though! I have used water color pencils occasionally - and also some fabric crayons. If I remember correctly we experimented with shaving fabric crayons and then ironing them to get a stained glass effect.
