Finish Friday

Another week over more projects started and no finishes. So once more I will Attempt to finish one of my oldest WIP's, A mermaid stuffie. Why has it taken 2 years and a month to finish a small toy.

The body and one arm is done, I just need to knit the second arm, bikini top, and sew the toy together. Not much work but for some reason I can't seem to get it done. If I manage to finish it I will move on to next oldest. One day I might actually get WIP mountain under control.

Eat, Sleep, Craft, Repeat.

Birthdays, Birthdays, Birthdays

In my family Birthdays seem to come in 3's. As I look for cards I am always disappointed by the quality and shocked at the price. I am not going to pay £5 for a card with a nice picture and happy birthday written inside. I could do better with a sheet of printer papers and 2 seconds on the internet. So that is the plan for today's crafting.

I need a card for a 7 year old, A 35 Year Old, and a 70 year old. Flowers unicorns and jokes. Luckily I love crafting and have a ton of random paper craft supplies. I can't wait to start digging through the stash dreaming up designs.

Wish me luck its about to get messy.

Dream it, Believe it, Create it!

Sew Over Heated

As the temperature climbs I finally have an excuse not to do housework. Today I spent the day sat in front of the fan sewing.

When I looked at the results of yesterdays sewing I realized I got the measurements very wrong. The size of the bag wouldn't work. So I randomly hacked a bit of the bottom and hoped for the best. The bag looks much better but is still to tall. The only other issue is the zip, more practice needed, a lot more.

The piece of fabric I cut off was to big to throw away but to small to be used for much, so I decided to practice putting in zip by turning it into a pencil case.

The end result is much better then expected even though it was rushed with very little thought. I will have to take it apart and re-sew it properly.

The best part of today was placing the zip in the pencilcase, almost perfect. More practice before I start on my me made wardrobe.

Do more of what makes you happy.
