Do not adjust your set

I love getting craft grab bags, but sometimes you don't know what you've got! Case in point, I've had something in my jewellery stash for ages, and didn't know until recently what they were! Adjustable bracelets, which are awesome. I made four of them.

This shows how the adjustable part works.

I've not done as much work on the stitch, cos I've had a bad back this week. Very frustrating when you have a target date in mind for completion.

The highlighted blue section shows how much I've got left to do.

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.

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
