    Really inspired by typography and word-centred graffiti at the moment. Skein-bombing ?

    Did I ever post about these ? These are “candy” shoes I made from a pair of the cheapest Primark flats to wear to Rumpus’ First Birthday Party. I wore them with an ice-cream printed 50s summer dress which I also made for the occasion. Maybe I should show that off too.

    Long time no post ! Let’s play catch up : here’s a cheeky little gift I embroidered for a friend who apparently wants my name on her butt !

    Been making quite a lot of things recently, which I’ll try and post soon. In the mean time, here’s me showing off the t-shirt I embroidered in honour of today’s London Slutwalk.

    First ever embroidery

    As some of the people who were at the first Craft Circle meet will remember, I was working secretively on something, checking over my shoulder every few minutes in case Caroline came in.

    The reason was this: 

    Obviously it wouldn’t have worked as well as a surprise if she’d known about it, that’s “surprise 101”.

    For my first ever embroidery, I’m pretty pleased. I used backstitch, split stitch, daisy stitch (badly), stem stitch and even satin stitch. I’m so pleased about the satin stitch that I’m going to drop in a few close-ups.

    And Caroline liked it. So whoo !

    So my first serious post is about embroidery … but my first love was and is cross stitch. I’m working on another gift project at the moment, so this is just a preview. Mmm, crosses. Lots of tiny crosses.
