In an attempt to improve my embroidery i've started doing these random doodles!

Hi, I'm having major trouble finding the stem/base for making my own cufflinks?? Does any one know of any good stockists or how to make their own??

Any help would be really appreciated!!

Thanks

We did a wood carving day at the local park! It was fantastic; I’ve never attempted anything like this before, and have to say I was absolutely rubbish at it!! However, my better half excelled and I thought I’d show off his wonderful work!! This was his first attempt at anything like this... I'm so proud of him!!

This is the finished piece before oiling.

this is the final piece after oiling sorry about the dodgy pictures, I still can't figure out my digital camera!

(incidentally my piece will make good fire wood!!)

I'm planning my wedding for 2008 and I'm trying to get organised!! I saw this picture and fell in love with the dress!! It's lush!! I'm going to attempt to make it my self but i haven't been able to find a suitable pattern?? I'm a total beginner at dressmaking so i will probably need the next two years to make it!! If anyone has any tips or advice I would greatly appreciate it!!

I did a jewellery making class and for my final piece made this broach. It's made from copper and silver, but i wanted to tarnish the background and I've no idea how to do this?? Does any one have any ideas???

I went on a basket weaving class today and thought I'd share my finnished piece... I'm really pleased with it for my first attempt!

The final basket! Hope you like it! ....i've got to find a use for it now!  xx

Hi!
I made this felt peice as a practice and decided to add some applique and stitch detail........ I would like to display it on some way and woundered if anyone had any suggestions? It's 7.5inches x 8.5inches. x

Hi This is my first post........ hope it works ok!! I've been a lurker for a while and thought it was time i got involved!!

I made this bag as gift for a friend! Its a really simple design but the applique flower was really tricky, trying to reduce the size of the stitch whilst sewing!

Anyway let me know what you think! x





Sorry about the blury photos.... i can't figure how to focus my digital camera up close?? x
