I started this project two years ago. I started with Bowser and slowly worked on it here and there inbetween other projects. I finished him almost exactly a year ago. I had started Yoshi and Mario a little while after that though didn't get very far and put it aside for a long time. I just didn't have the push. But here I am again! I finished the last half of the black color, and fully colored Yoshi and Mario! It's nice to have motivation again ❤️ . #crossstitch #crossstitchersofinstagram #diy #oldcrafts #plasticcanvas #mariobros #mario #yoshi #yoshisisland #embroidery #thread #motivation #quarantine #babymario https://www.instagram.com/p/B_1jlr9pPoP/?igshid=1p97gxb2g1dju

Took another *stab* 🤣 at punch needle last night! I love using the ombre yarn I have. I played with stitch length and flat vs puff. Next I think I'll draw a pattern on the fabric instead of just freehanding 😍 This is "primary rug backing" fabic, so today I'm trying Monk's cloth! . #craft #crafts #diy #needlepoint #oldcrafts #ombre #punchneedleembroidery #punchneedle #quarantine #threads #yarn https://www.instagram.com/p/B_sZ0YMJ65V/?igshid=1a89rkk3wpwp4

After two days of teaching traditional lampshades, I am waking up to the first day of my pleated and gathered lampshade course at @victoriahammondinteriors. I am teaching in the lovely village of Preston, Canterbury, and staying with Victoria in beautiful Wingham. It's a gorgeous village littered with great pubs (a must for me!), and everyone is so friendly. It's exactly what I want in a place. Plus, their local bakery is sublime! For future course dates, go to www.cocoonhome.CO.uk (it's a separate website and company to my fabric business). - - - - - - - - - - - - - #adultlearning #learnanewskill #newskills #crafts #oldcrafts #lostskills #lostcrafts #lights #lightingdesign #lighting #lampshademaker #lampshades #vintagelights #vintagelampshade #vintagehome #interiordecor #bespokehome #craftedhome #handmade #handsewn #makeyourown
