Gagets and gizmos

Over the last couple of weeks i have been trying out some new gadgets. I have wanted an embroidery machine for a long time, but they are very costly, even second hand, so i decided to buy one of the little Disney applique machines i have seen on e-bay, to see if it was something i would actually use and not just a novelty.

It was really really easy to use , so much so that i wondered if perhaps it was meant for kids to use, so i brought in Molly to have a go and she absolutely loved it. Big brother Ewan thought it was rubbish, till he saw Mollys finished results, then changed his mind and wanted a go himself much to Mollys disappointment.

 This picture pretty much says it all!

 The results were fantastic and these were done to iron into there school coats.

Next i had some orders for big pom pom hats so decided to invest in a pom pom maker. Again they are so easy so i let Molly do the pom poms for the hats.

I finally got round to ordering a wool winder, even Fred had a go at this, till he wound it back on its self and tangled the machine up

This little invention i found in Wilkinsons, it a row counter! which is so helpful when you are knitting cables like i have this week.

These little gadgets have been great this week and i love little finds that make things easier or neater.

Hopefully have some ta-dah moments in my next post xxx
