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

From another point of view

Made a pair of earrings this week. When it came to taking a pic, they were horrible when I had them laid down. Then I realised, earrings are supposed to dangle! Ended up hanging them on the radiator to get a decent pic.  I've also worked on the stitch. Had a few days off from it this week for various reasons, so progress was a little slow.

Made a couple of bracelets this week, using hematite donut beads, circular beads, and rondelle beads.  I've also been working on the stitch.  At least there's progress in the middle. Until next time Ems

Look at the stars...

Quick one this week. I've made a pair of earrings, using teardrop beads and star connector charms.  I've also been working on the stitch. Here is the update  It's getting there! Until next time Ems

Chips

Not those delicious potato products but gemstone chips. I've made a necklace this week using gemstone chips, seed beads and pearls.  I've also made some simple necklaces, using gold chain, connector charms and teardrop beads.  Here is the update on the stitch. 35% done now.  Until next time Ems

Love is all around

It was my brother and sister in laws anniversary this week, so I made a card using lawn fawn stamps, and a stamp I got in a magazine years ago.  I've also been working on the stitch. I'm still doing that big bit in the middle because it's block stitching, although with the rubbish winter light, its difficult.  Until next time Ems

Mix and match

Still limited to my crafting stash at the moment, so I decided to mix and match two tonic dies to make a card. Here is the result  I think the fairies fit in there quite well. You could always do a starry background and make it so they are looking out of a window as well.  Been working on the stitch as well. Block stitching at the moment, which is particularly boring but it gets a nice amount done quite quickly cos you're not having to figure out where the next stitch needs to go. 33% down now Until next time Ems
