Rising from the ashes...

I was actually planning to finish some mixed media I've been working on this week (still may do that but not today) but the inspiration still wasn't hitting me so instead I stitched another t-shirt.

The pattern came from this site . Check it out, as she has loads. Lots of talent. I substituted a few of the shades, as I didn't have the ones specified. Here is the result.

So I'm now halfway through next years presents!

I received my two packs of charms the other day, well worth the cost. There are loads of them and none of them are ones I wouldn't use. I've already had a few ideas for some of them, but I have a few things I want to do first (finishing the project I started for one)

Happy crafting

What to do when you hit a wall?

Sorry guys, this is gonna be another pic-lite one. This is for two reasons. The first is because I decided to be a complete idiot the other day and crack my head open on the door at work, so I have to take things easy for a couple of days. The second is strange. I woke up the other day and it was as if someone had flipped a switch. All of the self-confidence that I had built up through my crafting over the last year has disappeared - just like that. I've spent the large majority of my life thinking that I am not good enough; in what I do, what I say, in short, in who I am. With crafts I was finally starting to believe in myself. So it is very hard at the moment, as I feel that I am right back at square one. I am hoping that this is temporary, and that I will soon feel myself again. I have to remind myself that I am very early in my crafting journey, and there are bound to be bumps along the way. I am aware that it is probably linked to my current state of high anxiety, as susta...

Milestone birthday

Not mine, but an uncle, who turned 60 this week. I made a card using some tim holtz dies. I quite like the colours I used for the skull, gives him an aged quality. I've also been working on the stitch. Here's the latest update Still looks a bit of a mess at the bottom with no discernible images, but it'd getting closer to what it should be with every stitch. Until next time Ems

Drawering a crowd

So, this week I've done something a little different. This is before... This is after.... Obviously there's two of them! These are my mums bedside drawers, which are over 30 years old and now have a new lease of life. I've also been working on the stitch. 31% down now. Until next time Ems
