2020 craft round up! This year has been a bit crazy and time has slipped away even when it seemed to be standing still. Why not track a year in crafts? This year I learned how to darn, tried temari, made a tiny book, tiny sheep, and many tiny brooches. Now I’m on to a quilt, which should keep me busy for the next little while! ☺️ Happy crafting to everyone and happy new year! Bring on #2021

All those years of doodling 3D letters in class are finally paying off! 🙃 I would like to go back in time and become a sign painter please 🎨🎨🎨 This is a work in progress for an outdoor games station #diy #handlettering #bringonsummer

A brooch parade! 🌿🐧 ✨ 🐦 🍔 I traced the geranium leaf & clover from real plants, the hamburger and penguin designs are from @atelier_aesker ‘s small embroidery pattern book, and the blue bird is from a Baillie Scott stained glass window #handmade #stitch #embroidery #brooch #diy #jewelry #fun #stitch #goldwork #splitstitch #chainstitch #bailliescott #chihirosato #artsandcrafts #modernembroidery #craft

It’s time for a glue show down! I’ve been making embroidered brooches for a while now and decided it was time to figure out which glue to use to fix the stitched topper to the felt backing. Here we’ve got E6000, gorilla fabric glue, and wallpaper paste. My money is on the wallpaper paste - but I’ll have to wait and see. I’m going to wait a week, them cut around the shapes and throw them in the wash #timewilltell #fabricglue #test #embroidery #diy #craft #glue

Clover leaf in gold ✨✨✨ brooches for days #goldwork #brooch #diy #stitch
