Hit the road, Jack

Finished a cross stitch!!!! I love these photo realistic stitches. Mainly because they just use whole cross stitches, and my current one uses....all kinds of stitches.  I'm sticking with the whole stitches for now, leave the more complicated stuff for later.  I also made a necklace and matching earrings.  Until next time Ems

Butterfly

 I've made a platform pop up card for mothers day, using mainly lawn fawn products, with some tim holtz ephemera for the butterflies.  I've also been working on the stitch. About 1000 stitches to do till its finished now.  Until next time Ems

In the clouds

I've made a birthday card this week, using the Lawn Fawn platform pop up card. It wasn't my original design, as I wanted something a bit more fantastical, a bit other worldly, but my original plan didn't pan out.  It still looks good I think. It's all Lawn Fawn, aside from the balloon, which is Tattered Lace, and the sentiment, which is Tim Holtz.  I've also been working on the stitch. 95% done now and I really wish I'd kept the Labyrinth stitch out rather than packing it away where I can't find it! Until next time Ems

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
