Gaze up at the stars

I've actually managed to make my Christmas cards! I used an embossing folder for the background, colouring the embossed parts with paint pens. I then added a hill with trees using a lawn fawn border. Finally, I coloured and die cut stamps from the wish upon a star lawn fawn set.  I've also been working on the stitch.  Until next time Ems

Crystallise

Only a quick one this week. I am in the middle of something, but its not finished. Hopefully next week.  I've made a bracelet, just with simple beading. Sometimes simple is better.  I've also been working on the stitch. Made a small mistake, but I'm hoping I can cover it up cos it'd be a pain in the arse to unpick it.  23% done now.  Until next time Ems

Leaf it alone

I've made a necklace and matching earrings this week, using coin beads and leaf charms.  I've also been working on the stitch. 21.5% done now. Another advantage of the pattern keeper is its relatively easy to spot if you've made a mistake, which I did this week. Thankfully it was also easily rectified.  You can kinda see things coming together now, but its a long way off. Until next time Ems

1/5 down, 4/5 to go...

Have I said how much I love the pattern keeper app? For someone who likes to track my progress with things, this is perfect. I'm now 20% through on my stitch!  I've also made a pair of earrings, using unusual clasps.  Until next time Ems
