Stay at home!

Quick message before I start with the crafting. Please do not go out and socialise. The pubs, betting shops, restaurants and cafes are closed for a reason. You can't be bl blase about this.

Onto regularly scheduled programming. First of All, the update on the stitch.

I've had this week off, which is unusual because I've not really been able to go out much. So plenty of time to make stuff, but not much inclination. I have made some items though. 
First of All, I wanted to practise my colouring, so I used a tando creative printer tray and some free stamps I had in my stash. 

I also added some flowers and scramble letters. I was really pleased with the colouring. Chameleon pens are amazingly easy to use, even for someone like me.

I've also made some jewellery. The blue, Crystal and sandstone necklace was inspired by the tutankhamun exhibit.





The mermaid tails were from a craft box, and I've added studs to turn them into earrings.
I've not got many photos thus week. Not easy when you aren't going out! I've got a couple from my walk to work to show how quiet it Is, and a couple of my cat Sox.




Guess I'll have to get creative with my pics now! 
Until next time
Stay inside and stay safe

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

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
