The Introverted Crafter

Got a few things to put on the blog this week, courtesy of being off work and not well enough to go and do anything. Let's get to it! You might notice i did a couple of other colours on the stitch. I got bored of the same colour so took a break from it for a day. A beaded necklace, using various beads including peanut beads.  A birthday card, using spellbinders dies from the 2024 advent calendar and some paper from my stash.  Same thing, with different dies obviously. I wish I'd found spellbinders earlier. I've got the 2025 calendar to look forward to for Christmas as well.  A card for a man, using papers from my stash and some stamps.  Until next time Ems

Strange title i know, but apt to me. Im off sick at the moment with a nice middle ear infection and burst eardrum. At least i made things earlier this week. Here is the stitch update.  I made a couple of snowglobes using resin houses and various tim holtz ephemera.  A pair of earrings, using sead beads, larger pearls and bicone beads. I found the tutorial on facebook. A bracelet. Im still not getting the stringing tight enough, but its getting better. Until next time Ems

I saw something on the tim holtz Addicts page on facebook, and I knew i had to try it. I have different sized paper dolls, so I mixed small bodies with big heads to make a card.  I get vibes from monty python and from the Canadians in south park for some reason.  I've also been working on the stitch. Here's the latest update. I'm definitely gonna run out of a few colours though, so im hoping I have spare in my stash. Until next time Ems

Just a quick one this week, cos I've not been in a great place mentally, which leads to lack of creativity. I have made a bracelet.  I've also been working on the stitch. Already 6% done. My favourite cross stitch website is stopping kits, so i had to buy a new one just so I've got something after this ones finished.  Until next time Ems

I decided to get my resin stuff out this week, and make a few things. I was trying to do dirty pour,b but I realised too late that I'd done too much resin of each colour, it needs to be small amounts.  I used some stickers on the bottom of these.  I used gold paint, wiping off the excess.  I used a sticker in the centre, then painted the numerals with gold acrylic.  I've also been working on the stitch. You can probably guess what film it's from now.  Until next time Ems

That's craft stash! I've been going through my jewellery making stash, trying to use things I've not used before  I've also tried wire wrapping with head pins. Definitely a skill I have to work on.  I've also worked on the stitch. Here's the latest update.  I can see what it is, can you? Until next time Ems
