Spellbinders advent calendar

No, im not talking about the dreaded c word, even i know its too early for that! I got 2 spellbinders advent calendars last year (2024 and 2025) so I have been trying to use what I received. I actually preferred these to the lawn fawn grab bags last year, so if im gonna have to choose between then this year, I'll be picking the calendar.  This week I have made a birthday card, sticking to a simple but elegant design. I also used tonic drops.  Here is the stitch update. I have been contemplating not  doing the white border, because it didn't really make a difference to the mummy stitch, and it would save me about two months of stitching until I can start on the next one.  Until next time Ems

Honk honk!

One of the things in my lawn fawn box was a geese stamp set. I wasn't quite sure what to do with it, but im trying to use everything ive got rather than buy new things, so I thought i would give it a go. I saw the semtiment honk if its your birthday, so decided to use that two-fold. I used a tim holtz christmas die to make a car, then added the geese as the occupants. i had to do the car backwards because of the way the geese face. the background trees are also a tim holtz die. I've also been working on the stitch.  until next time Ems

shift into gear

I bought some deep set frames from Facebook marketplace a while ago. I bought the set to make those viral ikea mini funko frames, but it came with some other sizes, so I utilised them this week. I have a lot of resin pieces in my stash, so I chose some for the focal points, then die cut cogs out of foam, to tie the three together. I painted them black and added wax, then added a few blue flowers as a pop of colour.  already put up on my wall!  I have also been working on the stitch. You can see little pieces are complete.  Until next time Ems

evenstar

I am in the middle of some projects so can't show them, but I have made a few pieces of jewellery this week.  This is made with some spacer beads and a magnetic clasp.  I got this evenstar pendant in a kit ages ago, and thought it lent well to purple beads.  Here is the update on the stitch. Until next time Ems

It's mother's day, which means it's card time! This was made using a spellbinders umbrella die, and some paper in my stash.  I have also been working on the stitch.  Almost 40% finished now.  Until next time  Ems

Stars abound

I have made a few things this week. Firstly, here's is the update on the stitch.  There is actually more progress on the top half, but this is where I am working on at the moment, so this is what youre seeing! I have also made a vintage star. I went for wooden pieces coloured with paint pens this time, rather than resin, and no sentiments. I also made a necklace, making the chain myself, and added various beads.  I have also made a birthday card for my mum, who turns 70 this month. I used the roller skates from the spellbinders advent calendar, because she used to have a pair years ago. I tried to recreate the colours as best I could.  until next time Ems
