Stab It!

I'm getting my embroidery back on

*

I'm going to put this as a patch to my plain black (very mini) skirt. It just needs a little extra something-something. I used old faithflu back stitch and satin stitch for it. And I draw the picture, but I used a few tattoo-pics as a very heavy reference. Unfortunately I can't really draw, but maybe that's something one can learn.

Oh! And my friend gave to me the Best Mug Ever! My friend said she immediately thought of me when she saw it.

Awwww. Awsome, right? It just makes the morning cup of coffee feel even more of a pick-me-up.

Melted Vinyl

I finally made a vinyl record bowl. I know everyone and their uncle has made these, but for me it was a first.

I love it! I actually made two, but it got dark so I couldn't take a decent picture of the other one. There is just NO LIGHT in Finland this time of year. I'm giving the other one for daddy for christmas. Shhh, it's a secret

I have to say that melting vinyls in an oven feels kind of naughty. And not necessarely in a good way. Until one remembers that they're melting some higly scratched record they bought at a flea market for 1€.

Still Alive And Kicking!

No, I have not fallen off the face of the earth. I've just been buzy. With what? I really don't know.. the days just got away. I haven't really even done any crafting. Sad. But atleast I have a new WIP to show (like I didn't have a million of those allready)

I need to get that finished and posted tomorrow, so wish me luck.. I'll be knitting like the devil all day today. It's a sort of wrap/shawl type of thing my niece is going to wear at her school's christmas party. The lace pattern is from Novita magazine's spring/2007 issue.

What I was supposed to be showing off was the christmas cards I made. They included the same fabric that is shown on the knitting WIP picture above. But because I'm feverish I sealed the cards in to envelopes before taking a picture.. yeah, I'm smart like that.
