Heart wall hanging

I made this a few night's ago, and i am very pleased with how it has ended up!

I have a few tester pots of paint as plan to do some decorating shortly, so i thought i could use up the tester pots, i didn't like for the walls, so i have used a cream colour to coat the base of this heart, before i decorated it, i added a beaded hanging to the end which i feel has finished it of nicely.

I can't knit what so ever, and have often thought how nice it would be to be able to knit.

I got this Knifty Knitter loom, as one of my gifts when i was made Member of the month, on the craft forum.

As i have been unwell lately it gave me the chance to sit down and have a go, and do you no what? it is so easy and quick to do, so OK i can't knit, but i can still make knitted items lol

Here is the scarf i have made, it is very soft and bouncy.

I plan to make some other things with it too, so watch this space lol
