No pics this time

Hello!

Unfortunately this time I don't have any pics to show you. To be honest, I have not done much medieval crafts lately. And paper-crafts been bit slow lately too. I have done few World of Warcraft cards, but not much else. At least I don't have any pics of decos etc. i am so bad taking pics these days, as I can not use my phone anymore. When I take pics with my 'normal' camera, I need to open my secondary pc to get them out of the the cam and then transfer them to my primary pc. Lately it has been too much for myself. Yeah, I know... I am lazy xD

Next month I prob not update this blog at all, as it will be NaNoWriMo -month and I am joining the challenge.  And as this is not my literary blog, I will not write about the progress much here. If you want to know more about my writings and my writing blog, just comment or send me private message and I will give you the address.

To be honest, I can not remember did I tell about my silken brick stitch project? an d how I made big (at least for me big) mistake? Well, I managed to embroider 5cm of the backside of my new and own bag... and then realized that the fabric is 1cm too short. I have made already the front part...so I had to start the backside all over again. Plus, I have prob taken little bit difficult design for the backside. The progress is FAR slower than my previous brick stitch embroideries. oh well...

Latest project

I can finally report about my latest project, as I gave the present to my friend yesterday.
This is the better part of the project, 14th century german brick stitch with naturally dyed wool and silk. Later I will post pictures of finishing touches of it.

Another new embroidery...

This is my new, very simple, project I started after I decided to take a short break from embroidering my silk on silk order. I have actually dyed that green wool by myself, with red onion peels. I love that color. The canvas is, if I remember right, 16count, so each 'normal' stich is about 3mm long. The whole embroidery is going to be about 14.5 x 9cm

Lately I have been thinking about selling few of my embroideries over Etsy.com. I am just not sure should I sell them as final product (like needlebook or bag) or just as simple embroidery (so the buyer can use it as she wish). Any suggestions/opinions?

Audiobooks and sewing seams

I started to make my new late 14th cent dress a month ago. It's 'red wine' wool and the pattern is very simple with short sleeves. I found, well...actually it was my man.... the fabric from small shop. The boutique was closing down, so they had huge discounts. I paid about 7e from 4m of the wool and I also bought gray 'herringbone' woolblend too. The grey fabric is sooooo soft! I'll be reposting about it later on.

Sewing the 10+ meters of seam goes quite well when you are listening an audiobook. Atm I am middle of 'Clash of Kings' by R.R.Masrtin... yup... it's part of the  famous 'Game of Thrones'

This time I don't have any pics to post, I have not done anything pictureworthy lately. Well, actually I have done, but it's going to be a present, so I can tell you about it after I have given it away x) ... till then... Adjöö o/
