Progress

This is what I have done so far on my 'Starry Serenade' embroidery project. I only had about 25 minutes this arvo before Little Jac woke up (he was rather needy today) so I've just started. See how I've turned the 'girl' into a 'boy'? What do you think? I'm really pleased so far. Hope I don't stuff it up with the actual stitching! ;)

Crafting

Ooh I'm excited - I'm finally going to do some 'crafting' this arvo!

I have printed out a cute embroidery design (along with instructions!) by Loobylu. Her piece was designed for a redwork square but I have chosen different colours so we'll see how we go. Also I'm planning on changing one of the little 'girls' into a boy.

I've also enrolled in a Beginners Crochet course! Very exciting. I found the course with the help of my old friend google. It's at a place called Morris and Sons (which looks most excellent) in Melbourne's CBD. Only three weeks and one day to go til that one.

Yay for me!

Almost forgot - I also have a raw pine spice rack to paint - creativity abounds (let's hope)!

What do you think?

Ooh just changed my blog colours. The background is lighter and the title is darker. Much nicer I think. Now I just need some nice graphics or something to pretty it up. Anyone got any tips?

:)
