phone case, oh and a stitching directory i've been planning




Hullo. I made a phone case, because my old phone was such a wreck. poor sod. I've only had this one a week or so. and i've only dropped it once, i think. so that's pretty impressive for me. and now it has a home. 



I'm trying to get better at stitching and stitching techniques, so i've been making pieces with only one type of stitch, if i can help it. this is the stem stitch piece. i've got a couple more but i'll show the world them when they're in my stitching directory. it'll be like the yellow pages. for stitching. one for every house. not really. that would be impractical.

a few pieces of embroidery and a cake.

I started this sentence without knowing where it was going to finish.

  

A cake for a special birthday friend.



This is the piece I made for the Craftivist Collectives #imapiece project, with Save The Children. I couldn't make it to Manchester for the installation, but it looks like Sarah and her pals did a really good job (see here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/craftivist-collective/)


Standard shopping list.
