Do not adjust your set

I love getting craft grab bags, but sometimes you don't know what you've got! Case in point, I've had something in my jewellery stash for ages, and didn't know until recently what they were! Adjustable bracelets, which are awesome. I made four of them.  This shows how the adjustable part works.  I've not done as much work on the stitch, cos I've had a bad back this week. Very frustrating when you have a target date in mind for completion.  The highlighted blue section shows how much I've got left to do.  Until next time Ems

Cap it

I've not been feeling particularly creative this week, but I have made a couple of necklaces, using disco beads and bead caps. I've also been working on the mummy stitch. Here's the update. Under 11000 stitches to go....yay..... Until next time Ems

Christmas pop up

I've finally finished my christmas cards! No sentiments this year and I'm not writing in them, for obvious reasons.  Here was the next stage, so many platform pop ups!  I then added snowy hills and mountains.  I then added some houses, to make tiny villages.  Finally, I added a penguin to each piece.  I've also been working on the mummy stitch, 91% done. I've not worked on the other one.  Until next time Ems

Sunflowers

I dug through my stash this week, looking for something I had never used before. I found a tonic studios flowers die, which I used to make a simple birthday card. I actually have two flowers dies, so used the greenery from the other one.  I've also been working on the stitch. Still got a lot of white to do. I've not worked on the other one, as I've been working on my Xmas cards.  That's another sneak peak of the christmas cards.  Until next time Ems

It all started with a mouse

Spellbinders have done an awesome die set, say cheese, which features mickey and Minnie mouse. Of course, I had to get it, so this week I've made an anniversary card.  The background is lawn fawn, and the sentiment die is tim holtz. The dies were coloured with distress oxide.  Here's the update on the mummy stitch. I've not worked on the other one this week.  Here is a random bag.  It's not actually random, this is my progress on this year's Christmas cards. All will be revealed....when I get round to making them Until next time Ems

Bracelet

I have had these rivoli beads in my stash for ages with no idea what to do with them, but this week I decided to break them out and make a bracelet. As well as the rivoli beads, I used some bicone beads from my totally beads christmas stash.  Here's the stitches progress. Almost 87% done on this one now.  Small progress on this one, but progress all the same. Each stitch is a stitch closer to completion.  I am worried about running out of thread on this one though.  Until next time Ems

Lesson learned

Well lowest viewings ever on my post last week, probably because it was just white stitching! This week, I'm starting off by putting on the jewellery I've worked on this week. I've done another tutorial from totally beads, a ginkgo necklace. I didn't do the whole thing cos I preferred a simpler one, and I had to substitute the beads provided with silver ones I had in my stash cos I lost mine.  Here's the update on the two stitches.  I've also made a pair of earrings.  Until next time Ems
