why is the rum.always gone?

I finally finished my bigger piece! My younger brother got me some crafty things for my birthday, and one of the things was a key holder to alter. I covered it with tim holtz colorize woodgrain planks, using nuvo drops to make the nails. I did a sparrow, heart, and skull and cross bones from air dry clay, using gold leaf to coat the skull amd cross bones. There is a telescope, a skull, rum bottles, and a ships wheel on the table. There's also PlayStation figures of jack and barbossa.  the top has a netting, which is jewellery netting, with shells and also some tentacles.  I also made a necklace, from a totally beads pattern but using my own stash. Finally, here is the stitch update. Until next time Ems

forever delayed

 I still haven't finished my bigger piece! I really should have, but i didn't feel like working on it this week. I have done a few things though. First, the stitch update. I have also made a pair of earrings.  Finally, I went back to my spellbinders advent calendar to make this card.  Until next time Ems

Puns

 I love puns, so when I saw the toast die in the spellbinders advent calendar, I couldn't resist.  Simple but effective.  I have also been working on the stitch.  I have decided not to stitch the white now, so that'll save me about two months of stitching.  I am aware I promised a bigger project, but its not done yet.  until next time Ems

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

mix and match

I saw a great card made using the spellbinders advent calendar, so decided to add a tim holt window to add my own spin to it.  if you can see Animal from the muppets in the background, it was the only brick wall paper i had! heres the update on the stitch. massive shortfall of 1800 stitches on this colour.  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
