Managed to get it put together in class today, now to build on it.

Any Stranger Things fans on here? This is my mousey take on Eddie Munson. Eddie Mousen! Most metal mouse EVER!

 

[Spaghetti & Noodles]

Am thinking this is how I'll go with my next section of quilt, a double border followed by the diamonds edged with pink another purple strip followed by a wide selection of the patterned fabric which I love.

These are my best watercolor drawings. I hope y'all like them.
The white patches on all of the drawings are just there to cover my signature/name.

 

[Viennese Furbabies]

They are beautiful!

 

[weepweeps]

They are brilliant.

 

[Zorro1]

Thank you! I'm very happy with the way they turned out.

 

[Siikibam]

Nice! I like the first parrot.

I’m working on a grey sweater but nothing much to write home about just yet. Sleeves are done and I’m working on the front.

 

[Zorro1]

Sounds great, I'd love to see the sweater when you're finished!

This week's Sunday morning make was this ickle hiking mouse in his favourite jazzy, pompom hat. I've named him Charlie.View attachment 205729View attachment 205730View attachment 205731View attachment 205732
Haven't quite found my way back to guinea pigs yet but back in the rodent family.

I absolutely adore this. Do you sell your crafts at all?

Aw, thanks! I do sell them. I just had a craft fair yesterday but I still have Charlie Mouse if you're interested. Just send me a PM. X

 

[Ven]

I don't seem to be able to send you one. Would it work if you send me a PM instead?

[Swissgreys]

I have the pattern and fabric for my next quilt - just need to start cutting out now!

[Merab]

Beautiful.
I love the tree frog

 

[Zorro1]

Thank you, I'm glad you like them. I'm drawing another animal (a leopard) and I can't wait to share a photo of it.

 

[Zorro1]

Finished!

I like your colour combos @Lorcan, how do you choose them?

I brought my knitting downstairs this morning but I’m fighting tiredness on and off.

Going to close the piggies in for the night then come and knit while I watch tv.

Honestly, there's no real thought process there. I cut my threads in advance because it's a royal pain to cut new ones every time I finish. So I'll get one hank of thread, cut them into 8 thread piles...and then see what I have left that has some sort of contrasting properties with the pile of 8. And I do most of them in 8/4/4. This is my excuse for buying like....60 hanks at a time, lol. Can't have everything looking the same, right?

 

[Siikibam]

That’s impressive though. You obviously have some kind of colour sense then.

Well I’ve not yet touched the knitting. Went on Facebook and now I’m washing my hair to get ready for its beautification on Monday

Are you doing the hair beautification? or is someone else doing it for you? Before and after piccies required please!

Honestly, it's just practice, and taking a leap of faith that something won't look horrendously weird at the end. I've done macramé and other thread-based stuff since I was in primary school. Much of the braiding is...I don't want to say luck, but it's not planned. I could work out what colours will end up where and next to what in the braid proper, but it's not really much fun. I prefer to just hook the threads in the order they fall in, so much as they'll pattern out. Every one of my recent braids is the same braid pattern, just different colours and thread order.

So, this is the thread starting point for the latest pair:

This isn’t really a craft. My TA gave me some oil pastels and I was able to try them today after getting some paper and masking tape. I’ll be using fixative on it tomorrow. Then I need to find more to do. I may try it with water for blending the next one.
