Hmmmm

 I've realised how easy it is to fall into the trap of buying craft stuff, then not knowing what the hell to do with it. I think that's why I'm cross stitching a lot at the moment; there's a clear goal in mind there, and a pattern to follow. Perhaps I'm not as creative as I'd like to think I am. 

I'm still trying to use things in my stash that I have barely used or not used at all. This week, I made a birthday card, using a tonic studios die, galaxy paper, and fairy drops. 


I was not entirely happy with it at this point, so I die cut a flower for the blank space. 


Here is the update on the stitch so far. Page one complete, seven to go!


At least this is going well, although I did manage a first the other day. First time I've snapped a needle when stitching! 
Until next time

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
