The luckiest

You might have noticed that I didn't post last week. At 430am last Sunday morning, I lost my cat Lucky George. He was almost 20 years old, and named after my grandad. We got him when my grandad was dying. He was an amazing man, given two days to live but he held on till after his 57th wedding anniversary. Ironically, G died the day after what would have been grandads 101st birthday. He may have been Lucky, but we were the luckiest to have him in our lives.  Here's the update on the stitch. Over 90% done now I've also made some jewellery, a matching necklace and bracelet with a geometric fox charm.  Until next time Ems

To the stars

I've made a pair of galaxy themed earrings this week. I used gold seed beads, small hematite stars, a purple teardrop bead, a mixed green and purple bead that reminded me of a planet, and a cracked bead that reminded me of a meteorite.  I've also been working on the stitch. 85% done now. I'm slowing down a bit cos my other full stitch one is packed away, so the next kits available to use are really hard ones.  Until next time Ems

Grab a pizza this

I've made a birthday card this week, with pizza as the inspiration. I will tell you that cutting and sticking those tiny letters was very annoying! I've also been working on the stitch. Over 80% done now, but progress was a bit slower this week.  Until next time Ems

Seeing red

Decided to make a necklace this week, using primarily red beads.  I've also been working on the stitch. 80% done Until next time Ems

Flowers

Just a quick one this week. I tried to make some beaded earrings.  I've also been stitching. Think it's 78% done now, which is weird when there are still so many white spaces. Until next time Ems

Time for tea?

I've made a 30th birthday card for a colleague this week, using Mary poppins stamps. Ironically, they don't like hot drinks at all, but I had this pop into my head and couldn't get rid of it! I've also been working on the stitch. Here's the update Until next time  Ems

Watch out, bead-les about

I've been making jewellery again this week. I made a vintage style pair of earrings, then decided to try a beaded bracelet, doing a little bit of a pattern rather than straight beading.  I've also been working on the stitch. 70% of the way through now!  Until next time Ems
