some stitching directoring and cheese.

uhhhhh, I HAVE A NEW JOB AND IT'S THE WORST.

but i'm moving on with my stitching directory. pretty sloppily.

I'm looking forward to the point where i get to put it together as a book. 

And some cheese. Based on the 30 rock scene in which the retort "that's not that much cheese" is said.

I'm gonna turn in to a cheesey badge. and a chair made of cheese. and a table made of cheese. damn, i miss zim. BYE

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.

Sunday stem stitch

owl. owly owl.

current project: an owl... IN PROGRESS. PROGRESS. progression.obsession. 

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.

bicycle embroidery

hello, 

this is my most recent stitching adventure. god, it's about as close to exercise as I get. except for when it's snowing, when apparently i run around like a mad lout.

anyway, so i made this bicycle. feels like i should probably do a little more with it, but i'm not sure what. any ideas?
