A weeks worth of books!
I somehow had it in my head that by now I would be finished my stairs, and by mid week I would be showing off all my hard work…But of course they aren’t nearly finished. Little Makaio had another fussy night on Monday. Since I had just purchased new colour printer ink, we, as in […]
Pretty Paper
As promised (I think I promised at least), a picture of the paper I purchased this weekend. I ended up keeping all of them. Lol. I had selected 8 sheets to exchange for what I really needed. The baby was fussy and it didn’t seem worth the $2+ tax I would have received. They are […]
Stairs, Knitting Kit, and Sweet Potatoes
The past few days (or week I guess) around here have not been productive! Makaio (7 months old) is teething or having a growth/developmental spurt or something which has been causing him discomfort. As a result, we have been up cuddling a few late nights (last night 1 am!). I do sometimes stay up to […]
Roadblock
Or perhaps thread block? I literally ran out of the thread I was using for the border. I thought I took a picture, but I apparently didn’t before I started adding a dark sage like green colour as a second border (which I have actually started to rip out because I don’t actually like it, […]
Rug Update
Just wanted to show some progress. I have finished most of the centre. I am working with limited stashes of thread, and don’t want to buy more, so I am waiting to stitch the boarder before I decide. Still unsure of what to fill it in with…naturally.
Cross stitch win!
No fails today! Lol. Well, this didn’t happen today, it happened a few days ago, but this post isn’t about a fail, so that is exciting! (I am running behind on my posts and not working in “real time” ever since I had the technology fart with my camera a week back). When I started […]
Embroidery Fail….
Not that I like sharing all these fails with you, but I think it is important for everyone who ventures into any (new) hobby to learn that not everyone is perfect, or maybe I am talking only to myself here? LOL. But honestly,y especially in the miniatures world, you look around and see so much […]
Knitting Fail….
Remember the knitting kit I had? I didn’t forget about it. In fact, I have been attempting to follow the mock cable knit pattern for quite some time. I made 7 attempts at the pattern ,( attempts meaning getting past the first 5 rows of ribbing…) but every time I either dropped a stitch, or […]
Barbie Slippers
Not very exciting, but I had to share this now because inspiration came from Punos Mini’s giveaway. As I showed, I am particularly interested in the shoes set she has up for grabs. So all day/night all I could think of were mini shoes. I grabbed a whole wack of supplies I thought might be […]
