Monochrome Mini Button Wall Clock

Seem to be on a partial roll lately with the making of items, once a week I must be ill?

I'll be working on an embroidery next something small, naturally, designed on the train on my way up to London but rather excited to do it. Will keep you posted!

Sunday

Is it me or do Sunday's come round way to quickly, and then before you know what's hit you they are gone and your back to work? I am starting to feel as though its a conspiracy theory.

Aside from my usual grumbles about time going by too quickly I am back to my usually weekly amount of stitching whilst watching a box set. I have been progressing my latest freestyle piece and hope to have it done or at least at a stage that I can decide what to do with it. Mini Quilt/Art wall piece. I need to be more creative on the end result. Normally I know what I want to make or the end piece then work backwards. Though this process seems to be more organic. 

I will and must finish my Tilda kit and start thinking about getting the fabrics together for my Christmas tree decorations. Granted I don't have a tree yet, not that I want to get one yet it's still only October. Are you making decorations? If so what's your theme, if you have one, colours...style? I'd love to know what your working on. Show me links to your work if you wish.

Sunday Catching Up

Catching up on my life this Sunday and realising I am easily distracted. Nothing new there my mum would cry. It's not a bad thing mind you between the tidying up and the housework, and the planning of the coming week its good to kick back for an hour or two and enjoy the fact you aren't at work and that you can do what the hell you like.


So here is my random project for a Sunday, take one wooden wreath type shape, item picked up from a pet store, its for rabbit and other animals to chew on. Then raid your large stash of fabric because you have a lot of it, then because you happen to have a pattern shape for a heart, and a massive bag of stuffing create little stuffed hearts and then when your done...which I'm not yet...attach to the wreath. 


What I will do though is add a nice bow I think, and also some fairy lights nearer to Christmas. I am also going to sort out other decorations some point soon, and also I must get back to making another new item for my Etsy store!

Ending on a cute note

Bergamot the Hamster hiding from me as usual

WIP

I am feeling really positive today despite still feeling run down and also after standing on the blunt end of a sewing needle (whoever is afraid of having their blood taken do what I just did and I swear you won't complain), ouch. 

I've sold a few more bits last night which was great not had that happen for a while, and I am sewing and sewing more than I have ever done and it's not only for my store but stuff for me too. So I think I've reached the right balance for a change, and whilst I have to go back to work tomorrow long may my stitching continue I need it as much as it needs me. 

If any of you get bored or are looking for inspiration head over to Tumblr the folks on there are great and have a good idea especially for creative and handmade items. 

Currently working on another small item a quilt perhaps or just a mini wall hanging not decided and I like this a lot. 

Keep on Making

On a bit of a roll this weekend though the time seems to be going past quicker than I would like, and I still feel rotten. Last night seemed to inspire me to keep making I listed a picture of my recently made clock on Tumblr, and even now it's getting reblogged and liked, currently at 141 notes?! Not only that one of the lovely peeps who liked it purchased it as well. Will be winging its way to OZ tomorrow. =D 

So this morning I decided to use up more of my lovely stash, the stuff I've been holding onto for reasons only known by me, so here is an extra special sparkly needle case. Adorned as you can see by a Swarovski Button.

Buy me here.

What's the time?

Hell yeah look I made something!!!

I've not made a clock in an age, and I actually not only set out to do it but I actually made it, I am in shock...

It's now been listed on Etsy, so if you love it as much as I do toddle over and grab it whilst you can. As a rule of thumb I tend to make only one of every design.

Edit: Now Sold! Woot

Kick Back Relax & Stitch

AT LAST SOME TIME OFF...You can tell I am somewhat over the moon by this, even with the fact as expected I am feeling as though I am coming down with something, but who cares I have four days of kicking back. Huzzah. With this free time comes stitching time:

Yes that's right I have another clock in the works, and I haven't made one in such a long time, so I thought to ease myself back into it I'll keep it simple. I've been wanting to do this design for an age. Anyway should be done and made by the end of the weekend, if not sooner and will be available to purchase on my Etsy store, if you wish to reserve it then give me a shout by leaving a message here, or sending me a message via Etsy, my store.


I am now going to toddle off and get myself cleaned and scrubbed, and then I can get on with the day. Loves to all.

It feels like an age since I made something from scratch and finished it, and not only that listed it to my store. So I feel a smidge proud by the items I listed today, I set out to finish it and list it and I've achieved my goal. Small as it might be.

I would love to get some feedback on the small quilts that I am starting to make, I am not totally abandoning my past ideas of clocks, needlecases and tissue holders, etc, I will get back to them I am just enjoying working with my fabric scraps of which I have way to much. I should consider doing some more scrap packs to sell. I hope you like it as much as I do but thoughts about it, good or the bad would be most useful to me.
