Eh, whats up doc?

One of the stamp sets I got in last years lawn fawn goody bag was 'carrot about you.' It was in danger of not being used, cos it's a bit of an unusual one, so i thought I'd bite the bullet (or the carrot) and use it. I used to live carrots as a young child, so much so that my grandad had to ask the vendor at a market stall for the carrot he had just peeled to showcase the veg peeler he was selling, because I was so upset I didn't have it. 



All Lawn Fawn apart from birthday, which is tim holtz. The lawn fawn stitched rectangles make it a lot easier to get a neat background.

71% done now. I'm still trying to decide whether to do a small one or jump right into the labyrinth stitch after this 

Until next time

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
