Finished! As ever, I found the mounting really difficult but I got lots of advice and tips from the tutors today. It will be one of those things, which will become easier the more you do it but I am really pleased with what I managed to achieve today! I haven’t handed it in yet as I want the tutor who is in tomorrow to see it as she taught me the most for this module. It will be a few months yet before I get the results back but I will already do a post about this project at the weekend. So look out for that! (picture by @jagembroidery) #rsncertificate
At the end of my first RSN certificate class this week my silk shading is off the frame and all pinned up on the mounting board ready to start mounting tomorrow! Before it came off the frame I filled in all of the missed stitches the tutor and I could see and I also managed to frame up a new piece of calico ready for my next project! Hopefully I will be able to pick up some tips and tricks about mounting from the tutors tomorrow as I really want to improve on my last attempt in mounting! #rsncertificate
Love 😍 my new pegboard by @blockdesign I bought from @dreamkeydesign. It suits my craftroom a lot better than the pink one I had. Such a fun way to display the RSN dayclasses I have done and combine with plants, souvenirs and my Stitching Sheep stationery!
Tried a new craft today: macrame! The volunteers at my work and my colleagues give me all of these lovely plant cuttings and they were sitting in a large display of pots in my craftroom and I thought it would be nice to create a better display. As this inchplant was doing so well and started to creep along the floor I thought it would be a good idea to make a plant hanger. I bought some @bobbiny_nl macrame cord from @wolcafe (as usual I couldn’t decide on the colour!) and with the help of @emily_katz @modernmacrame book I got going. Quite pleased with my very first attempt, roll on the next one! #craftroomdecor
Finished!-ish My RSN certificate project is done, well sort of, it will need a fresh look to see if there is no silk showing through the stitches and to see whether I have included enough detail for the centre and then it will be mounting time. However, I will do all of that at the RSN two weeks from tomorrow, so watch out for the final pictures of my anemone. I just hope my tutors will like what I have done as I am finding it hard to step away from it and look at it objectively after having spend so many hours on it. 🤞 #rsncertificate
Been working on the centre of my anemone this afternoon. Hope to finish stitching my RSN certificate project this weekend so I can mount it when I am back at Hampton Court in two weeks....but there are still so many bullions to do! #rsncertificate
New blogpost about the Wren Etui by #jennyadinchristieembroidery I have completed today (full link in bio)
My little wren is finished! 😍😍😍 This project by #jennyadinchristieembroidery was certainly a huge challenge but I love how she has turned out. Keep an eye this weekend on my social media and my blog for more images and a blogpost about making her! #wrenetui
Today was a very exciting day for The Stitching Sheep! I registered The Stitching Sheep with the dutch Chamber of Commerce and from today I am officially the sole proprietor of The Stitching Sheep! This means that I can start setting up my webshop and start giving workshops! The Stitching Sheep is still very much a side venture to my ‘regular’ job so I am taking it slow but look out for some exciting things happening in the coming months!
