In which she's making cake

So I noticed I get easily distracted with my crafts. First I'll knit forever, then crochet, then sew. What's next on my agenda? Felt desserts.




I made this doughnut to pass the time yesterday. I woke not feeling too well, and contemplating an order for custom felt dolls for a good friend of mine, (I need to show you guys next time! =3 ) so I just pulled out some felt and started scribbling ideas. I now use it for a pinchusion.


This cake was the next thing I made. I had alot of fun doing so =3


It's so cute and yummy looking ; ;


I learned how to make French Knots for the seeds ; 3; (+1 technique!)

I'm already working on another cake. This time with the opposite colors of the first one.

(the happy embrodiery thread holder is from The wild olive's downloads )

Ok, I'm off to sew. I hope that was lovely eyecandy for you =3

Take Care, and happy crafting.

Lazy Friday

Today was a bit of a lazy day for me. I planned to sew, but my back hurt from yesterday, and I didn't feel like sewing alone today. =< So, I visited my mum, and made another pin =3


Hehe, it's a knitting pin! I was wayy too lazy to fill in the entire circle with green, but I like how it turned out =3


Next on the pin list is a Tea pin =3 After that... well I have to buy more pin backings ^^; But I scribbled out some ideas.

In the knitting world, I'm still working on my little secret amigurumi, but didn't take pictures of it. I'm also working on another 'Bloom Couture Knit Headband' in this lovely light blue yarn. I have another ball of it, and I have no idea what to make with it!


I'm thinking a hat maybe? Maybe another Star Crossed Slouchy Beret... -shrugs-

When taking these photos (in my room, as it's now dark outside, and the light in the living room is crap) I decided to get a few self-portraits of myself in one of my pink headbows. Oh yay, you finally get to see the grump-face behind this blog.


...What, you want me to look at the camera? Don't ya know all the cool kids don't look at cameras?!
Ok. Okay, FINE!


Heh. :3 Finally found my Sonic Screwdriver Pen! Now to get the 11th Doctors @.@;

Take Care, and happy crafting.

Little bit of sewing

Yesterday I did a bit of not cosplay sewing. I made myself a pincushion, as I keep losing mine >_>. A cute little embroidered felt badge, and a zippered pouch.


My little pincushion. I made a doll dress with this material a while ago, and I was lucky to have some left over. It's so cute and useful, and will live in my sewing box from now on.


Now as someone who loves writing letters and having penpals, I figured I should make myself a little badge stating so. I should get back to replying to a few letters also >_>
My grandma taught me to embroider when I was about 6 or so. She taught me backstitch, and a few other stitches, but I never really did much with it. Now I'm reteaching myself, and will probably embroider lots of my things.


Ahhh, so many mistakes. But I love it all the same. =)



My zippered pouch. I found a few tutorials on how to make them, so I threw together a few, grabbed some scrap fabric, and I am proud of my result.


The lining is a simple orange, and the zipper is an old one that I've had since I started sewing, so I was glad to finally be able to give it a home on something.

I want to make more pouches, but with adorable Japanese fabric. I have to keep myself off etsy every day so I don't get the urge to buy some. >__> Maybe when I get money! xD

And dear readers, I'll try to make this little blog a bit more interesting, at some point this summer.
