i can buy myself flowers

Quick one this week. I am in the middle of making something else, but I don't want to post it till it's complete.  First, here is the stitch update.  I am definitely going to run out of this colour as well. It says I am currently 35% through, but I will run out of the white surrounding the piece, so I may make this smaller to compensate. It didn't add too much to the mummy stitch.  I have also made a couple of matching bracelets (complimentary actually cos they run in opposite directions.) Until next time Ems

seasons change

Made a few things recently. Firstly, here's the stitch.  Look, Ludo is coming along nicely, as are the door knockers.  I have also made a pair of earrings, using beads and spacers.  I have also made some pieces based on the seasons. Yes, they are in coffins, don't ask! I painted and stencilled the outside, then used dies on one side inside, and coloured some flowers for the other side. I had to use leaves, snowflakes and suns on the sides to hide where the inner die ended.  until next time Ems

luck of the irish

Someone at work is leaving, so I made them a good luck card, using dies and sequins from the spellbinders advent calendar, card from my stash, and tonic studios dream drops.  I have also been working on the stitch. Almost a third of the way through now.  I also tried a new (to me) technique. Wire wrapping. It is not easy, but I made a pair of earrings.  Until next time Ems

a banner birthday

I got a lot of dies for Christmas, thanks to the lawn fawn grab bag and the spellbinders advent calendar, so im trying to use them. This week, I made a birthday card using lawn fawn banner dies and let's celebrate sentiment stamp, with a tim holtz dies in the background.  I also made a pair of earrings. Purple seems to be the theme this week.  I have also been working on the stitch, and finally had a colour i did not run out of.  Until next time Ems

Baby card

Someone i know had a little girl this week, so I made a card. I used the clouds from the lawn fawn platform pop up add on, and a stamp and bow die from my stash, as well as a tim holtz alphabet die set.  Here is the stitch update. I wish I was quicker because I have two more I want to get started on! Until next time Ems

the truth is out there

I got the spellbinders advent calendar for Christmas this year, and one of the dies was a ufo, so I decided to use this as inspiration.  I used the ufo, along with tim holtz dies for the trees and sentiment. I also added drops in the corner to make it look like i tacked the poster to the wall.  I've also been working on the stitch.  until next time  ems
