I generally use the same tension for anything from fleece interfacing to cotton and haven't had any problems *touch wood* The only issue I've ever had (which was today coinkydinkly) was when my machine kept leaving big loopy loops with the lower thread- not sure how I managed it but I'd put the bobbin in wrong :/

What discontinued sweets do you want back?
Started over 5 years ago · Last post 10 months ago ·
Secret!! I remember when I was little my mum would tell me she had a Secret for when I got home from school and me, being the naive child that I was (that, or it was a cute wee game I played- can't remember) thought it was some superdooper classified story ;)

Your Blogs-what do you write about and how often?
Started over 1 year ago · Last post about 1 year ago ·
I started my blog in January, finding it easier to maintain than a website... More fun too actually! As for what I blog about- it depends what tickles my fancy to be honest which is what my blog's all about I guess. There's some craft how tos up there, layout designs, photo-a-day section, everyday babbling, painting folio...

I agree that blogging can be great therapy- first and foremost, do it for yourself :)
One blog I am tooootally in love with at the moment for those interested, is http://www.mygirlthursday.com/ basically a crafting/thrifting blog and super inspirational!

I had originally used Blogger too and it is sooo simple to use! :) Definitely one of the better free ones! Then as you get a little more accustomed to how to change designs and get your own hosting or whatever, maybe give Wordpress a go? (I think they do a free hosted blog service too actually...)
This is mine what I did with mine: http://www.almost-alice.net

dark circles - skin lighteners and concealers?
Started over 2 years ago · Last post about 1 year ago ·
I swear by Benifit 'Boing!' concealer- it's quite creamy and doesn't turn to chalk or cake on my skin :) Three 'smudges' under each eye and blending in also makes me look fresh as a daisy!

I've been using embroidery thread to stitch chunky cross-stitches and running stitches on EVERYTHING- bags, books, coffee cosy... It fairly uses it up :)

Blogging
Started over 1 year ago · Last post over 1 year ago ·
Awh your blog is so cute! I'll admit that after years, I'm finally coming around to the idea of blogging and am using the time it's taking for my domain to transfer to integrate my website into one. What I've found from 'successful' bloggers is they tend to be heavily involved in their communities- be it part of a group blog or simply boards/sites like this.
I love being inspired by posts like yours!!

I got into the habit of drinking apple and ginger (I work in a smoothie bar and looove the taste)... Anyway, while friends etc. got the cold, I was fine... Until I changed my drinking preferences to another and BAM! I was out haha! Now I swear by ginger ;)
