Stole and New Business

27/9/2012

0 Comments

 
I am getting on well with the stole today (well I did start at 6!) I have nearly finished the first side, the darker thread is much easier to use and is much quicker to sew with. I need to finish a bit of the trunk, make sure that none of the leaves are gappy when I take the hoop off and then I need to sew the sides back up (I had to slit the seams and sew the design through the sides).

I can now reveal my new business idea, which is to make ethical crafts. I am trying to really research my supplies, which is harder than it sounds! The yarn I have had so far is made of hemp. I photographed the 2 parcels so far, the pictures are not great, but you get the idea.

It is now lunchtime and I am going to start doing more on my new business this afternoon, I am trying to split my day between sewing and the new business, hopefully in the next week or so, the new website will be up and running!

PDFs, Stick Insects and New Embroideries

30/7/2012

I have finished another PDF, it is a collection of 9 of my most popular designs and it is available for £1 here

I sold another stick insect, so I made that this morning, and I finished off 2 embroideries that I have been waiting to finish for ages, they are done now and are on my 'embroideries' page here

I am now going to start on a new style for me, hopefully I will be able to post all of the amazing photos of it in the next few days, if it goes quiet, you know it didn't work :@)

Tomorrow I am going to 'Itchy Fingers' again, I went for the first time on Friday and it was so inspiring and I am going to have a tattoo consultation

My New Website and New Fun Additions

7/5/2012

2 Comments

 
I have decided that I am going to have more fun with my work and do whatever I like instead of just embroidery. So I have added cards and crochet animals to my repertoire so far and I hope to add all kinds of crafts to the site eventually.

I am also fed up with pretending I am someone else, not in a scary way, just that I want to make the site fun and friendly and not all arty. You will see me, not an image I keep up for appearances.

I was having a lot of trouble with the website builder I was using and I have changed it today and it is much easier to use and much less frustrating!

I am having a few problems taking pictures of my crochet animals as the sun keeps going in at the most inconvenient moments, but I will be putting them up soon. I have been doing a bee today

I will try to keep the blog updated as often as I can and let you know what I am doing. Feel free to write to me about anything you like
