CUSHION COVER

MY SECOND ATTEMPT AT SEWING ON A SEWING MACHINE.

 

I've been sick for the last few days so I haven't been able to post anything. But I'm feeling better, so I thought I'd post some pictures of a patchwork cushion cover I made two weeks ago with my new sewing machine. I cut a three and a half inch square from an ice cream container lid, and used it as a template. I just did straight sewing, and didn't bother to zigzag the edges. As you can from the picture the back is just a no zip cushion cover. I might tackle a zip next time.

 
This Project took me two days to complete.

BREAD FROM THE HEAVENS

My house is an Anatidaephobiac's worst nightmare.

 
 
This photo isn't in perfect focus, as it's hard to take pictures and throw bread at the same time. The blurry things in the top left of the picture, is bread from the heavens! Normally the ducks come and peck on the loungeroom window and I give them some bread and seed, but a dog ended up scaring them down stairs. So I thought I would take the opportunity to take this photo, and now all of a sudden, I have a picture with ducks and bread, and a new bread cult (I have two members so far)!

RING AND BRACELET

DOCTOR WHO JEWELLERY

 
 
Hello all you non existant people! I've been slacking on posting lately so here is a little glimpse of what I have been doing. This GERONIMO! bracelet was my first and only attempt at a friendship bracelet, and it turned out OK.
 
 
This ring is made out of silver wire and oven baked clay. The D & W have been painted blue because I ran out of blue clay.

CUDDLY STARGATE SYMBIOTE.

 

FRENCH KNITTED GOA'ULD SYMBIOTE.



Recently me brother got me hooked on Stargate SG-1, so for his birthday I thought that it would be a good idea to make him a Goa'uld. Because I've watched so much Stargate, I figured I would be able to make a pretty accurate Goa'uld symbiote. The body is made of three ropes of french knitting. The back fins are just plain knitting, while the head fins (or as my brother has joked ear fins) are french knitting.

 


The mouth is french knitting and the teeth are knitted. My fingers where sore and blistered by the time I finished, but I got the symbiote finished in exactly a week, at 3 am on my brother's birthday. (The last 2 hours while I was finishing it I kept talking to myself in a strange Rumplestiltskin voice)!

MY FIRST POST.



THIS IS WHAT MY BROTHER DID TO MY SHOES.




My poor, poor Amy Pond shoes. My brother put my new shoes in the tree behind our house for some unknown reason (OK so I sort of asked him to because I was bored, and wanted to take some picture's........ but still he put them in a tree!).
