My Creative Space

Sometimes there are only snippets of time available for crafting.
Those snippets demand something mindless.
A crazy stitching production line.
Stitched in snippets.

Oh so quiet...

Here's something I made earlier....

There's been a serious lack of crafting in my house this week, no energy, no mojo, no new ideas - but I think that I've finally turned the corner today!

After my rant about Spotlight, and lots of comments regarding very similar experiences, I must thank Nikki for letting me know about Embroidery Source. I ordered some water soluble stabiliser on Wednesday and it arrived yesterday. Now I can get back to some more weird and wonderful crazy stitching ideas!

I'm having a few internet issues at the moment (Telstra wireless is extremely slow in the evenings), so I haven't been commenting as much as usual, but I'm still reading.... just very s.l.o.w.l.y

In my creative space - more experimentation with crazy stitching... this time with different types of yarn.

More creativity here.

Time for another giveaway

Inspired by Sharon's wonderful giveaway over here at Handmaiden, I'm joining in with another giveaway to celebrate the launch of the new SEWN website....

You can also enter another fabulous giveaway at Sewn, sign up to have your own giveaway, and check out who else is having a giveaway (I promise that I won't be entering and winning all of them)!

I'm giving away one of my new flower brooches.... you may remember the crazy stitching from last week.

I've used it to make flower petals for brooches, and then I've stiffened them and shaped them to look more flower-like. This brooch is approximately 7cm x 7cm.

To win, you just need to leave a comment by June 8th - which is the official SEWN giveaway date.

Don't forget that I'm drawing the winner of my apron giveaway tonight too!

PS - There's another fab giveaway at What Katy Did

My creative space

The only thing that I've managed to create this week is a dent on one side of the couch, where I've been perching myself each day and night staring into the tv, waiting for the lurgy to go away.

I was extremely bored yesterday afternoon.... there's only so much daytime tv a person can manage to sit in front of before they lose it! I headed over to my actual creative space for a little bit of crazy stitching. There's an idea brewing in my brain..... I just don't know if it will translate to craftiness just yet....
