New project

I finished all the projects, so decided to make use of the patterns form Tiny Modernist.

Not exactly sure about the aida (Antique).
Got it on eBay and colour looks nothing like on the pictures, but we will see how it goes.  


Luck

I rarely take part in any giveaways. Actually I never do, but few months ago, while bored at work I entered one from Cross Stitch Crazy magazine (which funny enough - I have bought for the first time) and few weeks ago I got an email that I won a voucher to Tiny Modernist! (http://www.tinymodernist.com/).
The voucher allowed me to get 7 patterns for free (worth around $40), so get ready for more stitching, progress will be posted on here of course :-)

And that's not all. Few days later I entered another giveaway from Craft Room Maven (very, very talented and lovely person) and I have won one of her embroidered Frida Kahlo hoops.

How amazing is this piece!







Would like to mention that none of the above post were sponsored or endorsed.

Wedding sampler

Now when it's all over! I can finally show you what I was secretly working on for the last wee while - wedding gift for our friends ðŸ˜Š

It was my first time making something for somebody and I can't even tell you how stressed I was when we were about to give it to the couple, but they liked it, so I was really, really happy!

Progress


This project is taking me forever. But I am back on track! Another corner done! :-)


Denim jacket with patches

Always wanted to have one.
Finally I have found a perfect one - light denim, ripped and 80's style.

Time for the patches. Got my first one or actually two. They are perfect, just can't make my mind where on the jacket I actually want it! ;-)




Patches from local craft shop - less than £3.

See you there!

Perler Beads once again :-)

Hey!
I would like to explain to all of you why lately there is not much crafting on here. I have so many ideas and so many things I would love to do, but unfortunately back and arm pain is in the way 😔 Staying in sitting position for longer than half an hour or doing anything with my right arm is a real challenge lately. I am okay-ish in the mornings, but by the time I am back from work the pain is really bad... Trying my best to deal with it, hopefully I will be back to normal self soon!




I am still trying though! This is my latest perler beads creations. 


A bit of an odd combo - Steve Austin for my boyfriend and Donald and Daisy for me.:-)


Stitching the fabric pattern

So easy and effective. Done few in the past, unfortunately forgot to take a pictures!
Very relaxing!
