Wrens in the making

I started stitching Trish Burr’s ‘For the Love of Wrens’ design nearly two weeks ago and so far I have stitched the branch, the tails and the eyes and I can truly say it is the most challenging kit I have stitched so far. As I mentioned in my post about starting this kit, I…

Week 2 of the @haakplein Nostalgia 2.0 CAL done! Love the new patterns we got to Crochet this week.
They made such fabulous sewing boxes in the seventies. Look at this bright orange version. For something made out of plastic it is still in an amazing condition. Really happy with my find. #vintagesewingbox
Finished my creative box! Well for now…I decided to just stop fiddling with it until my tutor sees it in class. I will never stop otherwise. Fortunately I have plenty of other WIPs to keep my hands busy.
2nd drawer is nearly done! Still need to attach the inner drawer to the outer one and attach the ribbon pull. Despite making it slightly smaller it is still as snug as the other drawer so I think it is mainly the fabric layers rubbing against each other which is causing it to not run very smoothly and that the size is actually right. I think I will keep the drawers as they are. I should be able to finish it this weekend. Next I will check the box over to make sure it is all as it should be before taking it in to class on the 11th of Feb and hopefully my tutors are happy with it too and I can hand it in! #rsndiploma
Compass, protractor and circle template at the ready this evening….Trying to come up with a good design for my next RSN diploma module which is advanced goldwork.
Managed to find some beautiful vintage items these past couple of weeks.
Finished part 1 of the Nostaliga 2.0 CAL by @haakplein! Still on track (sort of) as part 2 was published this morning.
Finished the first drawer for my creative box. I made it very luxurious with felt padding on the inside. It has a ribbon pull to be able to get it out.
First block of the CAL done! Really enjoying this project and how relaxing it is. 2 more blocks to go for this week’s installment. #nostalgiacal2023
