Needlepoint Pansies

I have been working on and off on these pansies by Cleopatra's Needle for about a year now. Recently I've been working on them a lot more, and after a short push on Saturday night I finally finished them.

I really enjoyed working on this, because the colours are so fresh and vibrant. I don't know what I am going to do with it yet.

Craft stash haul

Today we went to a garage sale because it was advertised as having 100s of needlework kits. It was no lie! We got a great haul, several cross stitch kits, latch hook kits, tapestry kits and more. Check out the video below to see what I got.

Not bad, eh? I counted up how much all of it would have been originally worth, and it's about £400, and we got it for £26!

TUSAL 4, another tapestry finish, and some WIPs.

It's TUSAL time again. This time full of wool from the tapestry.

I have been working on some cross stitching:

This Boo pattern I made myself. The white stitches are done with glow in the dark thread. Once it's finished I'll show off the full effect.

This is a pattern is from Wee Stitchy, and is available from her Etsy shop. This is actually being stitched on a green fabric, some how it came out blue though.

I quit my job last week, as I want to concentrate more on my crafts, hopefully I will be able to find a job with less hours soon. So please go along to my Etsy shop and tell me what you think.

Wipocalypse 4 & first tapestry piece

I'm a bit late on my Wipocalypse post, and I don't have much to show, again. Just a little more work on one of the Japanese dolls.

Last weekend my boyfriend and I went to a fleamarket in the net village down from us. I snagged a large box of tapestry bits and bobs (including some kits and lots of wool) for 7.50 euros. I was really excited about this, as I've been wanting to try my hands at some tapestry, but have been a bit apprehensive about the cost.

First thing I've tried is a small kit from Pako.

I'm quite happy with the results, though soon after I took this photo the thing fell off the wall as the doublesided tape I'd used wasn't strong enough to hold the wooden ring up.
