Rainbow Dash Cross Stitch

So for those of you who don't know Rainbow Dash is from the TV series My Little Pony - Friendship is magic and there is a HUGE internet fandom surrounding the show my cousin is some of the fans and i suggested that i could cross stitch him a Dashy so he drew it for me and then i got it all stitched up!  I hope you all like her (: I will be stitching the other 5 pony's so keep your eyes peeled!

Cute Anime clay minitures

My main medium for craft is air dry clay.

Most of the air dry clay crafters are masters of miniatures food, furnitures, etc. Therefore, I've decided to venture into something different. And due to my love for anime, they gave me an idea of creating characters I like into clay figures. I started to create a few just for fun but it soon turned into a very fun session for me to de-stress.

Repairing a beloved umbrella

I have had this umbrella since I was in school so I have had it a good few years and recently I found a hole in it and I thought I was going to have to get a new one but never fear  I found a way of restoring it to it's former glory !

All I needed was a needle & thread and some good old strong hold hairspray!

you can see the stitching in this image not as neat as i wanted but it was a very awkward position and hard to keep the material tight even when it's fully open!  But be sure to stitch while your umbrella is fully open so you know the stitches wont rip when you open your umbrella!

Make sure you spray all over your stitched with a strong hold hairspray to ensure a waterproof seal, do this on the inside of the umbrella as well, allow to dry and BAM!  you can go out into the great British weather and stay dry! Granted it's not very pretty stitching but nobody is going to see and as long as your dry who cares?

PS:  I didn't want to throw it away as I love all the colours and strips <3!!

Ed Sheeran heart

So I had my sisters over for the easter holidays and on one of the rainy miserable days we had, we got down to some crafting to make a change from watching the 5 million films we were watching, My one sister wanted a  One direction heart (which i don't have a photograph of) And my other sister (who wants a regular spot on my blog) wanted an Ed Sheeran heart as she loves him to bits so this is what I came up with !

The Front features his name  and the back features his tattoo which i believe is a logo he uses with his music and merchandise!   The paw print and ribbon re both orange in homage to his ginger hair I hope my sister is thrilled with this little hanging heart I made for her!


The one direction heart just features the 1D  logo on the front and nothing on the back, all in black felt and white stitching to go with the red white and black colour theme most of their merchandise has !

Barbie head pendants

These are some pendants I made using Barbie heads, 40x30mm bezel settings, ball chain, charms, beads, rhinestones, and other jewelry findings.  I'm not really sure what inspired me at first, I was just using an exacto knife on a Barbie one day(that sounds creepy) and decided to glue it in a bottle cap, which started my new obsession with making these pendants. I just recently opened a little online shop after getting a good response from people on the internet of my pieces.

Yarn Bombing

Yarn bombing/urban knitting/yarn storming, is fairly new popular trend that I am seeing more and more of although I must admit I have not come across any myself (but i would love to!) but my twitter and tumblr feed has been full of pictures of yarn bombing from all over the world, such a beautiful way to brighten up a dull high street I just wish someone would yarn bomb my town center!!!

I do not own any of these images if you know who i should credit please get in touch!
