In the Southern Hemisphere, August 1 is the Horses' Birthday. So share a treat (or two... or three) with your four-legged friends today. See ya! FillieFanatic
Inspiration
I thought I'd do something different today, and give you guys a little look inside the book I use to record all my creative ideas. Please don't steal any of these designs, although you may take inspiration from them, crediting me where you can. Thanks! The very bright cover, which I really like, I believe… Continue reading Inspiration
Red Riding Hood
I didn't really have a use in mind when I made this cloak, apart from 'just to see if I can'. I guess sometimes you do need those sort of projects, though. It clasps in the front with a simple hook and eye, and it's bordered with a darker red yarn. The swirling designs on… Continue reading Red Riding Hood
New Books
It was my birthday last week, and I was lucky enough to receive quite a few wonderful things. However, these are the books I was given. This is the American box set, and the main thing I love about this is the spines. Doesn't Hogwarts look great? I love the cover of the Fantastic Beasts screenplay,… Continue reading New Books
Cheyenne in the Sun
I'd say I'm definitely well overdue for a horse photoshoot, so I took Cheyenne out this morning. This one looks rather dramatic, with the dark background. I like the way the light shines on the leaves in the background of the one above. I'm still embroidering the badges, the Creativity one is getting its border… Continue reading Cheyenne in the Sun
Don’t Lettuce Down
This lettuce was definitely larger in my head, but that didn't translate to reality somehow. It may just be a pygmy lettuce. I made it by cutting a wavy edge along a strip of paper, then painting both sides with watercolours to look like lettuce leaves. It was then meant to be rolled into a… Continue reading Don’t Lettuce Down
There’s a Female Doctor!
I'm very excited about this, and I can't wait to see how the Doctor approaches being female. See ya! FillieFanatic
Have Patience…
I was able to finish the Kindness badge since I last posted about my latest embroidery project. I also managed to get some in-progress shots of the Patience badge. It's growing! Almost finished the border... ...and my thread ended here. So close, yet so far. Patience prevailed, and both of these badges are now finished!… Continue reading Have Patience…
Is This a Bit Cheesy?
At the moment, I'm slowly making containers for all the food that came from making the burgers. As you can see, I just finished the cheese container. As far as we know, there are no mice in Sarah's apartment, but that may change... If I could have made it with clear plastic, I would have,… Continue reading Is This a Bit Cheesy?
The Brewer
Most cafes I've been to have some sort of machine that makes - or brews - the drinks, so I made one for the Three Broomsticks. It's quite simple, as it's a few pieces of paper rolled around a whiteboard marker with some cardboard and beads glued on. The spout is made of beads glued… Continue reading The Brewer
