I made yet another cuff. This time I changed the design a bit, removing the button and buttonhole and adding a little elastic to make it fit easily. This one won’t be making it to my Etsy shop since it was made as a thank-you gift for my friend, but […]
I had an idea that just kept hanging around in the back of my head, so I had to get it out of there and into life. This is what came of it. It’s a bit of a prototype, because it has some flaws that I would like to fix […]
Another quick post…. one of these days I will make the time to write a proper one, I promise! This time I just wanted to show you a new felt embroidered cuff I made. This was supposed to be a gift for my friend, but it didn’t fit her so […]
(click here for more DIY tutorials) After the fun I had making earrings I decided to finish some spiral bracelets I had started ages ago. I used some leftover chip beads that hadn’t made it to the store and only a little of a roll of bracelet memory wire. These […]
Last weekend I carried my gemstone bead stash out onto the patio (I sell beads here so there is some considerable stash), sat down and had a lot of fun putting together these earrings. I could not believe how long it had been since I did this (years!) but luckily […]
Just popping in for a quick post: I will tell you all about my first craft show soon,and also I still owe a dutch version of my last tutorial. But for now I wanted to share the news that I officially started my own business last week! I’m really excited […]
After almost a year since the last one, I made another one of my embroidered felt cuffs. This one is made of a soft lavendar purple felt with aqua, lime and pale blue embroidery in the style of a sampler. Now to decide whether or not to put it in […]
I finished another felt pendant necklace. This time I needle felted some wool onto the felt (like I did with Wobbes) and embroidered over that to create an impression of moss. It worked out pretty much as I had hoped, and I’ll be sad to see this one go… but […]
I immediately made another felt pendant necklace. This one is bright red with white dots, stitched with red and white floss and two white glass beads added. I will be listing it in my shop too. mushroom necklace
I tried something new: I made this pendant necklace. It’s made of felt and embroidered with floss. The back is made from scraps of a recycled felted wool sweater. I added a glass bead and a string to finish it. I kind of like it, and I think I will […]
I’m glad I got around to doing a little more embroidery lately (again partially inspired by TAST). This is another one of my felt cuffs; this time in blood red & black, with black flowers and thorny vines. A little grey to give it a little more life, and the backing […]
I have been thinking for a while about a way to organise my earrings; I have a ton of these tiny studs that I wear a lot and they look something like this: And today the solution just hit me! (While sorting out the mess that keeps accumulating in our […]
Another felt cuff. This one is a lavender-ish purple with white, pink and dark purple stitching, lined with light grey felt and closes with a pink vintage button. As the others, this one was also inspired by Take A Stitch Tuesday. EDIT: it’s now for sale in my Dawanda shop! […]
