A little draw string bag I made for putting homemade bath salts + botanicals in, so the bath doesn't get messed up, and organic waste doesn't go down the plughole. I filled this one up with lemon essential oil, sea salt, and dried rosemary, tied it over the bath tap while the water was running, and enjoyed a long, fragrant, soak. Mmmm.

I make no apologies for including so many images of this puzzle: it's from a new British manufacturer so I think it deserves a little more attention.
I saw a mention of Sylva Puzzles in a Facebook group so headed to their website. Only one image appealed: this one; the rest are modern subjects.
So I took the plunge and ordered, assuming that being British, it would arrive fairly quickly.
Unfortunately, what they don't make clear is that they don't (so far) keep stocks in UK; their puzzles are made in China, so delivery took longer than I'd anticipated.
Communication was haphazard - I got an email asking my opinion of the puzzle a few days before it arrived, and then another telling me delivery was imminent after it had supposedly travelled from China to the USA!
Needless to say I was amazed when it turned up the following day!
So what's my opinion of the puzzle itself?
Let's start with the cardboard box it was sent in. Some outer damage (possibly down to Evri's 'careful' (!) handling, but nothing too bad.
Now to the puzzle box itself. A badly dented lid (see photo) and a small dent to the corner of the box base - probably due to Evri's handling. I can put up with this, it's too much trouble to ask for it to be rectified and doesn't affect the puzzle.
The box is actually quite sturdy, but twice the size it needs to be. A couple of cards were inside with some information about the artist and the company, and the pieces themselves, housed in a velvety drawstring bag, all gave the impression of a quality item. My only gripe here is the poor print quality on those cards, the spelling could be better, too.
Now for the puzzle itself: and here's where I want to heap praise where it's due! Wonderfully thick pieces, heaps of clever and imaginative whimsies, and a fiendishly irregular border, made for a couple of days' fun.
So all in all, I have to say I'm pleased with my purchase, but with reservations; perhaps once they've sorted out their teething problems and maybe started to hold stocks in UK I may be tempted to buy from them again.

Grab one of your cords and thread it using your large-eyed needle (or bobby pin or small safety pin).
Cut a length of string about 5" longer than the circumference of the bag. Use a large darning needle to run it through the casing at the opening you left in the seam.
I hope these are just big enough for sock knitting, otherwise I'll just have to make more I guess...
Sometimes you just need to make something. That's how I was feeling last night and these little bags did the trick. Easy, fast and kind of fun.
Instructions are from Martha Stewart Fabric and Sewing Crafts. This is a gift for a three year old who loves Toy Story 3 in a big way. With the heads sticking out of the bags like this, they kind of remind me of Popples.

Grab your drawstring and lay it on your bag. You want it to measure twice the width of your bag plus 2-4″ extra at the ends. This is 1 cord. Cut 1 more the same length.

When a (knitted shawl) kit for my sister-in-law's Christmas present arrived and Mam discovered it was disappointingly presented (mild understatement - three balls of yarn and an A4 piece of paper folded in four, all in a zip lock bag - not exactly a 'kit', more 'supplies for a project' in my eyes), I offered to 'whip up' a drawstring bag to put it in. It took quite a while as I altered the dimensions of this tutorial www.incolororder.com/2011/10/lined-drawstring-bag-tutoria... and wasn't exactly sure what size I wanted it to finish at so just used my 'best judgement', which took a while! I added heavy sew-in interfacing to the main (outer) part of the bag and this means it can hold its own weight when both closed and open - quite handy for a knitting bag, I think!
I'll be making more of these in the future but will see if I can work out a way of making the drawstring casing differently, so that there are no raw edges in the gaps.

I need sunshine! As it was the day I took this photo!
This is the Athena Owl on black fabric with my Athena statue, little owl and ancient classic oil burner. The early evening sun was shining through the window onto them.

If you need more room to tie a knot, just push the fabric back to expose more cording.
