Under the sea

I've just managed to complete another unfinished project. This was using papers from graphic 45, flower die and distress embossing powders from Tim holtz, drops from tonic studios, lindys stamp gang sprays and a calico craft parts port hole and seaweed.


I've also been working on the stitch. I'm now on the satin threads, which I absolutely hate. It does mean I'm on the home stretch though. 

 Finally, here are the pictures I took this week.

The first rainbow of the year 

This is a wreath I bought for Christmas. It's so nice and wintry we've decided to keep it up for a while

In the interests of trying to cook more, I've got some recipe help 

This is a weather predictor. Not sure how accurate it is but it's pretty to look at. 
Surprisingly this is the hardest resolution I've found. I'm not good at taking pics as you can see. 9 more to go till the end of the month.

Milestone birthday

Not mine, but an uncle, who turned 60 this week. I made a card using some tim holtz dies.

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...

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
