Thanks Patti BTW - my doodads are grateful to you too, they prefer being organised! Actually Elle was right - the silk ribbon isn't really that hard, if you can do regular embroidery, you can do silk ribbon. I've used classic stitches in it like French knots and lazy daisy. For leaves you just lay the ribbon along the fabric the length you want it to be then pierce your needle through the ribbon and the fabric and pull gently from the back. This makes a little leafy point. This is my kind of stuff - simple but effective! :-D
