I'm so good at birthdays!

Haven't had a chance to mail this off yet. Thought the dog card would be a nice touch. Need to find a nice padded shipping envelope big enough for this embroidery hoop.

People should send me presents like this. I'd be such a happy girl.

Make It Work!

Yesterday was a friend's birthday so I spent most of the day making this for him.

He's always on about getting a tattoo of Tim Gunn and I saw this several months ago and thought of him. After realizing it was his birthday I decided to whip this up to mail to him.

I miss having any-time access to this blog. I have to wait until I'm using someone else's computer. I even left a post on the forum and no one offered me any help so I guess I'm SOL til I get a new computer.

"Luckily" I never having anything to post these days. I miss endless days of crafting and watching Doctor Who and Northern Exposure.

Harry Potter Embroidery Pt. 2

I had originally wanted to make a "Weasley is Our King!!" one and we really excited to see that Kim included one in her bonus patterns, but chose to redraw it because her design wasn't working for me.

I didn't follow her patterns exactly on a lot of these, but I don't think what I paid to use her patterns was an unfair price to be inspired!

I'll post the finished product probably after Harry Potter tonight! :)

Harry Potter and the Hoops of Embroidery

I bought some Harry Potter patterns from Kim Smith to make embroidered badges to wear to Deathly Hallows tomorrow. I know most people are trying to get into midnight showings, but it's a tradition for my sister and I to go the day it officially opens to the latest show. We got our tickets yesterday afternoon. Going Friday night, however, gives me time to finish these up and get the badges assembled. I am pretty excited!
