The Introverted Crafter

Honestly, I can't stand wind chimes, but I made something like them this week, using a kit from totally beads. I got the items used and a video showing what they did with them, but changed it up a bit.  I've also adapted another piece of furniture.  Finally, here is the stitch update Still cant discern anything at the bottom there! I'm stitching all of the colours in order now, cos that's how my mind works  Until next time Ems

I've finished a bigger project this week. Before I get onto that, here's the update on the stitch. 55% down now.  Here's the before of the bigger project.  This wasn't quite the before actually, it was painted a very light green. Anyway, here's the after.  I painted the whole thing, and took off the handles before soaking them in white vinegar and baking soda before scrubbing them vigorously. I then added a prima paper to the drawers, cutting carefully between so it was a seamless picture. I added copper and turquoise waxes to the edges of the drawers, then made some resin cogs.  Until next time Ems

Still not done much crafting wise, as I am still unpacking. I keep telling myself it takes time, but its frustrating. I did manage to finish a bracelet though. Thankfully quite a simple pattern I should be able to replicate.  I've also been working on the stitch. Here is the update.  I've got twelve months in here before I can put anything on the walls. I might have finished this one by then! Until next time  Ems

So those of you who follow this blog may wonder why I disappeared for a few weeks. Well, I've finally moved house! Fifteen months of waiting and it's finally happened. I'm currently sitting in my new bedroom, looking out onto half built houses. It does mean I've started unpacking craft items I'd forgot I had, and unfortunately some which have had to be thrown because they've dried up in the interim.  I have been working on the stitch, here is the update.  I've also made a belated birthday card. You know me, never miss the opportunity for a pun... Until next time, Ems

I decided to make a birthday card using the Lawn Fawn grab bag.  Ironically even though I've got the matching dies, I had to fussy cut everything cos I've packed my die cutting machine. I've also been working on the stitch. Here's the update  Still looks a mess at the bottom.  Until next time Ems
