My style is very modern - full of colours, layers and texture. I love strong colours,patterns,glitter and shineAnonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17973974779771288329noreply@blogger.comBlogger2363125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7349148350053795586.post-17621104327701256192017-06-01T11:26:00.000+01:002017-06-01T11:26:36.348+01:00Taking a break<span style="font-family: "lucinda handwriting" , serif;">I have developed COPD. Apparently the last batch of bronchitis has left significant scarring. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "lucinda handwriting" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "lucinda handwriting" , serif;">So - what now?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "lucinda handwriting" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "lucinda handwriting" , serif;">All my energy is going into running the shop - and getting Posh Dog more notice. I can no longer teach, demo - do craft shows. I am designing, knitting and sewing - but just in a dog way. I don't have the capacity to do much craft work at the moment - and I can't keep up with the project days. I have had this blog for 10 years or so - but I don't think I can keep it full and interesting for you anymore - so I am going to take a break.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "lucinda handwriting" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "lucinda handwriting" , serif;">I will still be on Facebook - both as me, and The Posh Dog Clothing Company - and I will still keep up the Posh Dog blog - https://theposhdogclothingcompany.com - so please feel free to drop in and join me there.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "lucinda handwriting" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "lucinda handwriting" , serif;">We will have to see what the future brings us.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "lucinda handwriting" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "lucinda handwriting" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: magenta; font-family: "lucinda handwriting" , serif;">Love</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "lucinda handwriting" , serif;"><br /></span>
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-LJVY3HYWItY/WSr0Nn6D9ZI/AAAAAAAAhcY/Qfwc4gBO6xQvcX7QOd0N3LhYwtdwiRq2gCLcB/s1600/2015-10-29%2B23.37.51.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="640" data-original-width="480" height="320" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-LJVY3HYWItY/WSr0Nn6D9ZI/AAAAAAAAhcY/Qfwc4gBO6xQvcX7QOd0N3LhYwtdwiRq2gCLcB/s320/2015-10-29%2B23.37.51.jpg" width="240" /></a><span style="font-family: "lucinda handwriting" , serif;">This week we are making a simple sun dress for our dolly - and just for once - considering the weather - I am spot on!!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "lucinda handwriting" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "lucinda handwriting" , serif;">For this project you will need a small piece of lightweight cotton - or poly cotton for the dress - and either a needle and thread or sewing machine. You know I love to hand sew - and I find it much easier on these small projects than using a machine.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "lucinda handwriting" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "lucinda handwriting" , serif;">For the sleeve trim and neck tie you can use a bit of ribbon - I wanted to try out my smallest Bias binding binding maker. I have a set of all the different sizes and I hardly ever use the smallest it's such fun to make your own bias!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "lucinda handwriting" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "lucinda handwriting" , serif;">The pattern is here - but the instructions are deliberately vague. You have so meany options for the finishings that you can experiment with all of them in different fabric and you will have a whole new wardrobe for your dolly</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "lucinda handwriting" , serif;"><br /></span>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This is your pattern - you will need 1 front - take notice of any pattern direction in your fabric cos you don't want an upside down pattern!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-RNbIf1j7sfw/WSr0L4nOkkI/AAAAAAAAhcQ/M5_auzVU2PwQQ0P6BhXfoJ188hO5uytUQCLcB/s1600/dolls%2Bsimple%2Bdress.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1274" height="400" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-RNbIf1j7sfw/WSr0L4nOkkI/AAAAAAAAhcQ/M5_auzVU2PwQQ0P6BhXfoJ188hO5uytUQCLcB/s400/dolls%2Bsimple%2Bdress.jpg" width="317" /></a></div>
<br />
you will need 2 back pieces - as well as the pattern direction - make sure you have one for each side - arm holes on either side!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-G8uEPXJMDgk/WSr0NSD3XvI/AAAAAAAAhcU/SgyE0pIdqE89ffeesNDejlGob66RLNxegCLcB/s1600/doll%2Bsimple%2Bdress%2Bback.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="808" height="400" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-G8uEPXJMDgk/WSr0NSD3XvI/AAAAAAAAhcU/SgyE0pIdqE89ffeesNDejlGob66RLNxegCLcB/s400/doll%2Bsimple%2Bdress%2Bback.jpg" width="201" /></a></div>
<br />
This is a really simple pattern. Sew up the side seams - sew up the back seam leaving about 1" at the top. Hem the bottom of the dress. Sew the shoulder seams. Neaten the arm holes - either turn under a hem - trim with ribbon - or use bias binding.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-KVArFyzluEU/WSr0O66xo5I/AAAAAAAAhcg/cNw0EGViCPYCRLJAq6QCCut_xfT32LaAQCLcB/s1600/2015-10-29%2B23.38.35.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="480" data-original-width="640" height="300" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-KVArFyzluEU/WSr0O66xo5I/AAAAAAAAhcg/cNw0EGViCPYCRLJAq6QCCut_xfT32LaAQCLcB/s400/2015-10-29%2B23.38.35.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
Finish the neckline - either turn down a small hem - add facings - trim with ribbon - or use bias binding. You will need a fastening at the top of some kind. Either finish your neatening a the back seam edge and add a tiny hook / button / snap fastening - or use ribbon / bias and leave long tails so you can tie a bow<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Bit worried about this afternoon - the hot weather is supposed to break with thunder storms - and I have no idea how Alfie will react. If it's rough - I am going to take him straight home where I can protect him from the noise much better - and he will feel safer. so I am not going to get involved in anything too much just in case I have to pack up and dash off. It has been really dead in the town - so I don't think anyone will notice anyway!</div>

behind this series is to expand your knowledge and build your confidence by
tackling new techniques with small, simple projects. Each square knits up to the same size and has
the same border frame so that you can sew them together and make larger
projects. 4 sewn in a square make the
front of a cushion – back with another 4 squares or plain fabric. Several in a row will make a scarf – 3 x 3 or
4 will make a baby blanket – 4 x 6 or 8 will make a lap throw - or go the whole
hog and make a bed throw. You can make
each square the same pattern – you can make each square different – you can
create your own design by placing the squares in a pattern – knit in 1 colour –
knit the rainbow - just experiment – shout me if you get stuck – and have fun.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial Narrow",sans-serif; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">The squares worked in DK measure about 4 ½” square – and the larger ones
8” square. You could use 3 strands of DK
together – working on 8mm knitting needles – and the square will be bigger<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "lucinda handwriting" , serif;">Anyway I thought I would take a bit of a break this afternoon to do a bit of simple practice. This is one of my favorite songs - not sure if I should really admit that - but I love it.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "lucinda handwriting" , serif;">Well it is! - It's a butcher's cleaver in remembrance of the original purpose of the ally (Shambles were ware the butchers gathered together). The council has had 2 of these made - one for each end of the alley to help us stand out a bit. There are no butchers in the alley now - the last guys retired last month.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "lucinda handwriting" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "lucinda handwriting" , serif;">We have also had new sign board added each end of the alley walls - and the hodgepodge jumble mess of the old signs has been cleared away and the entrances refurbished.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "lucinda handwriting" , serif;">I rather like it - it is much cleaner and neater. There are 2 empty spaces - the butchers shop is empty (hopefully in the process of being sold - so it won't be empty long) - and Alex in the Polish shop is hoping to move to bigger premises down the way a bit.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "lucinda handwriting" , serif;">The town square is also having a bit of a makeover. It will take much longer than normal though because of the market - they keep having to stop and clear away so the stalls can set up. They are supposed to be putting in a pretty paving area and several new benches.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "lucinda handwriting" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "lucinda handwriting" , serif;">I upcycled the boards I had on the end that were removed and put them on the shop front - you can't waste them can you? </span><br />

The goat repainted them for me and put the logos on properly and then screwed them to the shop front. They are covered during the day with the table and display - but they show at night and when we are closed so I can put stuff on them.</div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman"; text-transform: none;">I promised to give you a basic breakdown of wire thickness used in jewellery making. So here we go</span></div>
<div>
<div>
<div>
<div>
<div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #605f5f; font-size: 15px; letter-spacing: 0.5px;">There are many different thicknesses of jewellery wire, and the sizes are referred to as the ‘gauge’. </span></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #605f5f; font-size: 15px; letter-spacing: 0.5px;">The first thing I want you to remember is that the smaller the gauge number, the thicker the wire. As you can see, 10 gauge wire is pretty big (about 2.6mm in diameter) and 28 gauge wire is very very tiny (about 1/3 of a millimeter in diameter). </span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #605f5f; font-size: 15px; letter-spacing: 0.5px;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
Gauge 10 - 2.59mm - rings, cuffs, necklets - very hard to work with</div>
<div>
Gauge 12 - 2.03mm - rings, bangles, heavy duty structure work</div>
</div>
<div>
Gauge 14 - 1.63mm</div>
</div>
<div>
Gauge 16 - 1.29mm - a nice thick wire to work with - perfect for sturdy clasps, heavy jump rings and structure work.</div>
<div>
Gauge 18 - 1.02mm - as a 16 gauge - can also be used for earwires and connecting chunkier beads and wrapped loops - as well as chainmaille work</div>
</div>
<div>
<div>
Gauge 20 - 0.813mm - perfect for ear wires and beaded chains.</div>
<div>
Gauge 22 - 0.635mm - good for making beaded chain with small holed beads - the thickest wire for wire wrapping.</div>
</div>
<div>
<div>
Gauge 24 - 0.508mm - too fine for jump rings or support work - use with tiny hole beads - good for wire wrapping and weaving</div>
<div>
Gauge 26 - 0.455mm - great for wire wrapping and weaving</div>
</div>
<div>
<div>
Gauge 28 - 0.320mm - great for wire wrapping and weaving, knitting and crochet and more delicate work</div>
<div>
Gauge 30 - 0.254mm - too delicate for wrapping - not suitable for structure work - best for knitting, weaving, crochet</div>
</div>
<div>
Gauge 32 - 0.203mm</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Hope that helps a bit<br /><br /><span style="font-family: "lucinda handwriting" , serif;"></span>

Alfie has slept well every night - and he has been much better at going out for his wees. So with the extra rest - and the lovely sunshine we have had all week - it doing me the world of good.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "lucinda handwriting" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "lucinda handwriting" , serif;">On my cupboard clearing out kick I found a set of letters that I made ages ago. The used to hang in the kitchen before I had the centre wall unit put in. I thought I would put them up in the living room - there is a perfect space for them beside the curtains - but then I thought I would jazz them up a bit. My style has evolved over the years and I like loads of layers.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "lucinda handwriting" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "lucinda handwriting" , serif;">The letters were originally cut from foam board - 3 or 4 layers I think - about 1" thick.</span><br />

behind this series is to expand your knowledge and build your confidence by
tackling new techniques with small, simple projects. Each square knits up to the same size and has
the same border frame so that you can sew them together and make larger
projects. 4 sewn in a square make the
front of a cushion – back with another 4 squares or plain fabric. Several in a row will make a scarf – 3 x 3 or
4 will make a baby blanket – 4 x 6 or 8 will make a lap throw - or go the whole
hog and make a bed throw. You can make
each square the same pattern – you can make each square different – you can
create your own design by placing the squares in a pattern – knit in 1 colour –
knit the rainbow - just experiment – shout me if you get stuck – and have fun.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

8” square. You could use 3 strands of DK
together – working on 8mm knitting needles – and the square will be bigger<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br />
<span style="font-family: "lucinda handwriting" , serif;">It's a practical thing really - I had the idea to store the leftover printed tags for my Posh Dog Bakes - and use them for the next batch. It works if I don't print the date and batch numbers - and I am all up for re-cycling.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "lucinda handwriting" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "lucinda handwriting" , serif;">I did chicken out of making the index cards - I think it would have driven me nuts - so I bought the smallest size file index cards I could - but the boxes for them were way too big. I went and picked up some mount board scraps from the picture framers - they have a box of free left overs.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "lucinda handwriting" , serif;"><br /></span>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-t22DUKiCsoE/WQRtXFsaasI/AAAAAAAAhZQ/pa0ziuWekuUi3ZTVIB8I_NwxVsgqFIg7QCLcB/s1600/2015-10-11%2B00.16.26.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-t22DUKiCsoE/WQRtXFsaasI/AAAAAAAAhZQ/pa0ziuWekuUi3ZTVIB8I_NwxVsgqFIg7QCLcB/s320/2015-10-11%2B00.16.26.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: lucinda handwriting, serif;">The width of the box was fixed to the size of the cards - but I wanted to lower the height of the cards so that the tags did not get lost under everything - and I did not want a really deep box.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: lucinda handwriting, serif;"><br /></span>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-V4ySDEXbYiw/WQRt7CFKmzI/AAAAAAAAhZY/TU2bKeGYqm0BQjPx3EwO_JXjYPOoVecAQCLcB/s1600/2015-10-11%2B01.13.41.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-V4ySDEXbYiw/WQRt7CFKmzI/AAAAAAAAhZY/TU2bKeGYqm0BQjPx3EwO_JXjYPOoVecAQCLcB/s320/2015-10-11%2B01.13.41.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: lucinda handwriting, serif;">I actually cut 1" off the bottom of the cards - so the actual box is only 2" high. I wanted the top tabs to stand out to make it easier to sort through them.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: lucinda handwriting, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: lucinda handwriting, serif;">I cut the base and sides out of the mount board and just sellotaped them together - them I went round with double sided and covered it with a thick scrapbook paper so that it was stable and pretty.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: lucinda handwriting, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: lucinda handwriting, serif;">I have lined the inside too - so that the seams are covered and not vulnerable.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: lucinda handwriting, serif;"><br /></span>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-5t8A1oIcq58/WPNFf5pX6EI/AAAAAAAAhVs/P9o4qiLtSQoKpfxyOFu1DCyGgkl4oLNIQCLcB/s1600/2015-09-25%2B07.34.13.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-5t8A1oIcq58/WPNFf5pX6EI/AAAAAAAAhVs/P9o4qiLtSQoKpfxyOFu1DCyGgkl4oLNIQCLcB/s320/2015-09-25%2B07.34.13.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: "lucinda handwriting" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "lucinda handwriting" , serif;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">You will need a small
amount of soft cotton or poly cotton fabric – a needle and thread – a short piece
of thin elastic – some paper to work out the pattern and some scissors.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "lucinda handwriting" , serif;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: "lucinda handwriting" , serif;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">The pattern is basically 4 L shape pieces with a bit of a curve. The short part of the L is the waist part - it needs to be deep enough to reach from between the legs up to the high waist - with enough for a turning to put the elastic through. The long part of the L shape is for the legs - it needs to be long enough to reach down from the waist down the leg to where you want it too - plus a bit for the bottom hem. the short width needs to be wide enough to reach halfway round the doll's leg - plus the extra for the side and centre seams. It sounds a bit of a mouthful - but this formula will work to fit any doll - and yes - you too!!!! Just draw round the shape - cut the paper on the large side - then experiment before you cut for the final fabric sections.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">You can make a normal small hem – or make a
wider one and add elastic to make bloomers.</span><br />

<br />
with a bit of practice - adult bloomers are sooo cool - and it's all the same basic pattern!!!<br />

I seem to have been running round in circles - and still have a huge to do list.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "lucinda handwriting" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "lucinda handwriting" , serif;">The little fella has been getting me up early in the mornings - and I don't have the luxury of telling him to wait a bit yet - we have to get up and out pretty fast. On the plus side - I have deep cleaned the coker - had the workroom emptied out and the carpet vacuumed and cleaned - and moved the </span><span style="font-family: lucinda handwriting, serif;">furniture around so that the sewing machine is now in the middle of the room. It was getting awkward to work on large beds and coats tucked at the side of the room. It has opened up the whole space so much because the big table is now tucked in the corner. </span><span style="font-family: "lucinda handwriting", serif;">I have tidied loads of heaps - finished several projects - make some cushion covers. Phew - shattered now.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "lucinda handwriting", serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: lucinda handwriting, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: lucinda handwriting, serif;">I am seriously behind with my computer and book work - there just seems to be so much to do. I had a big order in from Robin in the week - that's all out now - and I have been sorting out my dog treating baking stuff. Every job I tackle seems to need something else done first - or throws up 2 more jobs</span><br />

You don't have to use these exact materials - it's more the process that you can use and reuse to make your own projects. Once you have mastered it - you can go on to use the same process to make bigger projects - add several to a chain - or make a bag charm - multi hanger necklets - add several to a bracelet - once you can master the process - you can do anything with it.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "lucinda handwriting" , serif;"><br /></span>
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-OT5-B5wUr-w/WPOc86jGC-I/AAAAAAAAhWg/un08cB-KLbgoMH_XvM9hOYCaR_1kGWukwCLcB/s1600/PicMonkey%2BCollage.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-OT5-B5wUr-w/WPOc86jGC-I/AAAAAAAAhWg/un08cB-KLbgoMH_XvM9hOYCaR_1kGWukwCLcB/s200/PicMonkey%2BCollage.jpg" width="200" /></a><span style="font-family: "lucinda handwriting" , serif;">you will need - a pair of round nose pliers - a pin with a flat base - a feature bead of you choice - a couple of small charms - a couple of small size jump rings</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "lucinda handwriting" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "lucinda handwriting" , serif;">anything along these lines will be fine - the most important bit is the round nose pliers - that is what gives you the perfect round shape that makes your work look professional.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "lucinda handwriting" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "lucinda handwriting" , serif;">Personally I like to use oval jump rings - it moves the join spot just out of the way so that all the wear is well away from the join.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "lucinda handwriting" , serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "lucinda handwriting" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "lucinda handwriting" , serif;"><br /></span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "lucinda handwriting" , serif;">add a jump ring to the top of each charm</span></div>
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "lucinda handwriting" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "lucinda handwriting" , serif;">slide the feature bead onto the pin</span></div>
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "lucinda handwriting" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "lucinda handwriting" , serif;">add the charms onto the pin</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "lucinda handwriting" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-itljwJjZYlc/WPXhLLcfyHI/AAAAAAAAhW0/A5ugf0HXLm4yU8b9ojvZUviN5441DYGnwCLcB/s1600/2015-09-30%2B00.21.30.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="225" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-itljwJjZYlc/WPXhLLcfyHI/AAAAAAAAhW0/A5ugf0HXLm4yU8b9ojvZUviN5441DYGnwCLcB/s320/2015-09-30%2B00.21.30.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: "lucinda handwriting" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "lucinda handwriting" , serif;">use the round nose pliers to shape the top of the pin. You will need to leave a bit of a gap before you start to shape the end shape. Work high on the plier arm so you get a bigger ring space. Let the plier shape the ring so that you get a good 'round' shape. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "lucinda handwriting" , serif;"><br /></span>
<br />

<span style="font-family: "lucinda handwriting" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "lucinda handwriting" , serif;">Then you will need to use the pliers to pull the wire end really tightly around the wire close to the added charms. </span><span style="font-family: "lucinda handwriting" , serif;"> Give the end a couple of wraps round the pin to really secure </span><span style="font-family: "lucinda handwriting" , serif;">the loop and snip off any tail.</span><br />
