the one i have is a small lightly stuffed pad that attaches to my scissors with a cord so that i don't loose them (or that the idea!!)

if a few more people are interested will post some rules but thinking easter so, chocolate, bunnies or anything easter related

This sounds like a brilliant idea, I'm too new to cross stitch to take part but wondered if you've done this type of thing before and have any pictures anywhere of the items made? I'd love to see some :D

I would like to join as well. I already have a pattern in mind! I've never made a scissors fob before either, so this will be a fun experiment.
