Portal Project is Complete!

I finished my Portal project!!! Actually I finished stitching it last week, it's just taken me forever to frame it because I wanted to mount it properly. Remind me next time I decide to do a huge project how much I hate framing things, yeah?


Took forever, because black, as much as I love blackwork, gets a bit boring after a while! And it's twice the size of the others.





I love making things this size, they can be complex, but still a quick little piece to stitch :)

And just to brag, this whole exercise of taking the photos and writing this post happened solely from my new ipad 2! :D

I'm back, with Angry Birds!

I fiiiinally got some spare time for craft, so I made these for a friends going away present. :)


see his tail?!

I used the few crochet images I could find to help with the over all look and shape, but really I made a ball and went from there. There was one pattern I'd saved on ravelry, but apparently the pattern maker got a cease and desist letter and had to take it down? Sad cos they were the best ones!! But really, it's easy as to figure out what you have to make, and they are so cute!! I stuffed them with pellets, so they are pretty solid too. They both have 9mm safety eyes also.

Another two weeks!

Ok, so my month was a really bad estimate :)
Since my last update regarding my being really busy with uni stuff, I went to Hawaii for a family wedding for three weeks, missed a whole heap of school and have been furiously trying to catch up. I did buy some cute wool while I was away and wanted to craft, but there just hasn't been time! But assignments are finished in a week (hopefully) and I get almost a month off! I'll try and make at least a start on some things, but I might get distracted by all the books I bought while I was away.... I have so many new ones, I LOVE how cheap books are in America. Totally jealous too, why aren't Australian books that cheap?!

I also have to play Portal 2 at some stage. I'm so looking forward to it!!
