I've Been Busy...

Hi!
The panic set in this week about how much stock i need to make since The Whatnot Tree (the crafting trio i'm in) are booked into two (eek) large conventions this autumn! I wanted to see how long it took to make some of the creatures i make in batch.
It actually doesn't take too long. I spent two day solid making stuff, the only problem is after those two days i needed a break! So i think my plan now is gonna be little and often rather than mad panic then do no more for a week. I think it'll be less stressful that way hopefully!

I made 8 Macot Mice, 9 (so now i have 13) Snish Owl brooches and a large Snish Owl pillow! After i was covered in clay, felt, thread and varnish...Here are some progress shots...
The hand that creates mice...
Making my brooches in batch...
  I watched about 30 episodes of the simpsons while i worked!
The finishing touches...
Ready to be stuffed :)
 I'll be back with finished stock pics when i've got a larger collection :D The Whatnot Tree are having a craft day together tomorrow, so hopefully that'll be sooner rather than later!

Thanks for Reading!
Have a good week!

There are birds on that Lampshade...

Hi Hi,

My uni summer work is going slightly wrong and it's loosing direction a bit. So i've turned to other creative outputs for a while hah...
Introducing the bird lamp!
I've wanted a standing lamp for aggggges but they are expensive! Anyway i found a lampshade in the sale part of a home store for a fiver and got the actual lamp part off my grandma (she had it in her attic).

But it needed decoration ;D

Here it is plain and simple. I added the blanket stitch and beads round the bottom myself...


It's quite fun sewing onto something you don't usually get to!


And then taarRR DARR...





In other news! The lettuce in my veg plot is ready and looking finnnneee. There are also some courgettes coming through AT LAST ahh hah!


Bye for now :)

Top Hatted Fellars

hey!

This week i have be avoiding my uni project and doing anything but it. Hence i have made 10 new Lobby's! Going a slightly different route with them i have been making them each a top hat and decorating each one in a unique way. They each have a name too, which is written on a hand drawn tag each Lobby comes with. Hopefully people will want to adopt one of these individual little guys and give them a homely place to sit :)
here are some pictures...


They are all for sale in THE TEE SHOP over on Etsy.
I would really love it if you could go and have a look!

tar very much for reading have a great rest of the week :D
