This is the book I was referring to last night in my post of Crotchet. It has some lovely ideas in it for decorating your home and it is a book I have had from new and for quite a few years.  Its one to look out for at the car boots or charity shops as it has lots of useful instructions. I taught myself how to do ribbon weaving from this book never having done it before and have gone on to make several pieces which have yet to be turned into little creations.
