Winnie Update - 2

So got a bit further on the stitching and there is a very visible difference from the last image so thought it was about time to post an update on how its going.

Winnie Update

As promised here is an update on the Winnie stitch that I am doing - its a bit of a teaser though as it doesn't really show you much of what it could be:

Potential new idea

After getting my new craft catalogue and having a good long browse I stumbled upon this idea in the jewellery making section:



I don't think I am going to use the exact clasp they recommend based on the price of it. It is sterling silver but still a tad out of the price range I want to stick within.
They do have some nice sliver plated clasps which I could use like:



They also have more than one shade of dyed leather cord or metallic leather cord, although I am tempted to just try one colour first see how it turns out then maybe get more colours:




Before I forget I have linked every image to the webpage I got it from :)

Newish Project - Winnie Stitch

I say newish because it is and it isn't. I originally started this project with the intention of giving to someone who had just had a baby and lost the drive to finish it after just a few small sections. I still intend on finishing it however a different person to the original.

I'm not going to post a photo of what the finished cross stitch should look like so you can just see and enjoy how it evolves from a few coloured stitches to the full design. I will continue to post with more photos for this however they will be dotted between other posts.

For those of you who know me will know I love to do artsy crafty things such as make cards, cross stitching, glass painting and most recently making jewellery, pretty much anything crafty and I may well have tried it.
Basically this blog is to document my projects whatever they may be. ^^

Some of my previous works include:
