I like paper crafts so much, I keep going back to the same projects. A few months ago I saw this and decided to glue nice strips of paper [with cool patterns I found in an IKEA catalogue… ] to sized toilet rolls. Made a few bracelets. Huge sucess!
This time I thought that I could cut skinnier and shorter rings and make a necklace:
I was well enough today to hem my Ikea curtains for the new room they’re in:
Of course, the sewing machine had to act up. I couldn’t go more than 5cm without the thread breaking (and I played with the tension settings a lot to try and fix it…) So doozer suggested hand-powering, via the belt, a waist mounted pulley, and his hands:

I saw a cute idea for a yarn ball “flower” display on Bella Dia a couple weeks back and thought it would be the perfect little project to use up some of the yarn that I’ve got piled up (I’ve started about 15 knitting projects and finished about 2.) It was a good opportunity to use up some of the more challenging yarn that I have. It doesn’t have the smooth look of the original, but they’ve got their own fun vibe. I hope to make a bunch of them over time for all my little vases.
