Veronica Mars embroidery

Man, I can't get enough of embroidery hoops at the moment. It is like, I finally worked out how to do them properly and now I can do nothing else. Well, I have one more on the go, which you might see this weekend, but then I do have to focus my attention on hats next week.

I've been wanting to do a Veronica Mars embroidery at least since the Kickstarter thing and last night I found myself with some spare time and a mini embroidery hoop. I'd really like to do a Logan quote (maybe the epic love one? that scene slays me every time) but the hoop was only tiny, so here's a favourite Wallace one liner. Sadly, too small for a unicorn - I wanted to get both bitch and marshmallow, so I used some twee material bought as offcuts for just such an occasion.

Anyway, the quote seemed appropriate, as there have been a few things happening recently that are so squeeworthy, I do have to "be cool", not only the VM Kickstarter.

And to give you an idea of size...

R2D2 herb planter

I really can't think of anything witty or interesting to say about this, so here, brought to you on my new red and silver samsung laptop, is an R2D2 herb planter.



Not the thyme you are looking for...

Rolf Harris embroidery hoop

Day six of life without a laptop. Last night was pretty good actually, I whacked on some Keltrix and sat outside embroidering in the sun. The Keltrix was a wise move as I've been ODing on Ella Fitzgerald and Patsy Cline and was starting to feel far too soulsome and jazzfull.

Embroidered Rolf Harris hoop. Just 'cos.

 
My airing cupboard door is starting to look kinda weird.

Can you tell what it is yet? Possibly the neatest underside I have ever accomplished.

A couple of keyrings for transport

I made a little bike for Peter as a housewarming. Fun fact, this was about the 5th attempt at making this on account of the fact that apparently I don't really know what a bike looks like. In the end I took a photo of a painted bike on the cycleway.

Andy asked me to make a camper van and after many aborted attempts I made something that was a bit like a misshapen cousin of a camper van. Apparently transport keyrings simply stump me. Anyway, I have since made this feltie (rather than a plush, in other words more 2d than 3d) which is ... better than before.
