Cosy cafe SAL part 1

Finished the first part of the frosted pumpkin’s SAL. I do love the panda mug, although personally I think a raspberry mocha would be far too sweet. I wonder what the next drink will be?

Tiny teddy

Just started making & sharing again after a long break from WP. I’m just starting to get back into enjoying making again.

My first tiny teddy bear, after an even longer break from making them. I have been reviving my toy / bear making skills over lockdown & decided it was time to start sharing again.

Silk shading progress

Luna phase 1

This is lesson 2 of my diploma in technical hand embroidery with the Royal School of Needlework. I’m trying to get as far as her chin for next time.

This week I’ve had a lovely parcel from coolcrafting, lots of lovely things to cheer me up, now it’s my day off.

I decided to try the Luna Lapin quarterly subscription box, lots of lovely things inside

Decisions decisions!!! What do you make next.

Happy Holidays

Before it gets busy I thought I would wish everyone a very Merry Christmas & happy new year 🥳

Felt Angel Stocking

I have finally finished my kit, it was started before the new Millennium, when I was visiting by Mum & Dad in Atlanta. Mum took me to Michaels for the first time, being from the UK I had never seen large craft stores on this scale. I got this in their Christmas in July event, again something I hadn’t seen before. I think that is why I remember where & when it arrived in my stash, it’s good to see it finally finished.

Now what next …. something new or something from the stash??🤔

White work samples

Recently I’ve been practicing my white work skills in preparation for my next large piece of embroidery.

White Work Butterfly

I’ve been trying out white work with this little kit.
