Yesterday, I posted about
making a tatting shuttle that broke.
And, so I recycled it and made it into a necklace:
And, now, I am debating about the cord for the necklace.
I know I am going to use Lion Brand Lamé in the oilslick version, but I am waffling about how I am going to make it.
I […]
Yesterday, I posted about carving a Lady Hoare tatting shuttle from recycled wood.
I broke one of the tatting shuttles
sigh.
I tossed it into the sawdust bucket for burning next winter.
Tammy suggested that I reclaim it and use it as an inkle shuttle.
I like my inkle shuttles to have straight sides, so it wouldn’t work for that…. […]
In my previous posting, I showed how I got started making the Lady Hoare tatting shuttle.
I took the bits of recycled wood back out to the workshop, and cut the 2 shuttles out on the bandsaw:
Then finished up the openings with a smaller saw:
Next, time to make some sawdust:
You can see how it’s looking more […]
My husband’s dad built a desk when my husband was a wee little guy. Sadly, the desk fell apart last winter. BUT!
The desk lives on in all manner of ways!
I have made bag handles and a heap of bracelets from the bottoms of the drawers.
And, today, I made myself another ‘Lady Hoare’ (I pronounce it […]
My last posting was about stitching the butterfly outline.
I stitched over the outline a couple more times. Then I pinched the fabric and started snipping ever so carefully….
All 4 wing sections needed to be snipped carefully away….
and then stitched again
I decided to spool knit cords to make it really pop …. so,
I spool knitted a […]
In my previous posting, I got started with reclaiming a woven scrap to embellish a Tshirt.
I drew a butterfly, then layered the drawing on top of the scrap of reclaimed weaving….
Next, I cut the excess weaving away, and pinned the drawing and weaving to the WRONG side of the Tshirt front.
Then, started stitching. I didn’t […]
Happy Blogiversary to us!
Happy Blogiversary to us!
Happy happy to us!
My daughter, Chloë Findlay-Harder of (Tangled Threads and Her Accessories among others!) and I are both celebrating our 2 year Blogiversary at b5media.
To celebrate, I have made us each 2 recycled wood bracelets that I call: Recycled Ruffle Cuffs: I guess you could call them a […]
We have a wasp problem, and don’t want to use pesticides to kill them. Well, actually, we don’t really even want to kill the rotten little beasties…. they are part of the grand plan of nature, after all. We just don’t want the little stinkers to set up shop around our house, barn, hayshed, tool […]
The other day, I posted that I was designing a crocheted wasp be gone nest
Well, it took a couple of test nests to get it right, but now I am pleased, and I hope that the wasps and yellow jackets will NOT be happy and […]
I really don’t like wasps and yellow jackets. Who does? They are nasty little boogers.
Last summer, they stung the living daylights out of my husband while he was working in the hayshed. Yikes! evil little so and so’s.
BUT! I am really concerned about Colony Collapse Disorder in Bees (whom I love, as should […]
For the love of knitting, crochet, spoolknitting, spinning and weaving!
