Show off your handmade craft

Ok after see a few craft that others have made I thought that I would make a thread where we can show off our crafts...

so it doesnt matter what it is if you made it I want to see it...

I bet after all the hard work and effort that you put into it you want to show it off a bit too...

So whenever you have finished or still a work in progress post it in here....

If you have any tips to help others out then post that too

Here are a few of mine some I did a while ago ( like 10 yrs lol ) but others I have only just learnt....

this is the link to My handmade crafts

Oh wow Tali, they are beautiful. What patience you must have.

LOL no more like so board at night so like to keep my hands busy while watching the box ;)

You have wonderful attention to detail! They're terrific! I'm rather jealous actually, I don't think I could finish one of those.

Wow Tali, they're absolutely stunning, I especially love Zayden's birth notice!!

I want to make another one now for Ruby but this took so long I'm procrastinating on it! It took over 3 years and by the time I got around to getting it framed and giving it to her she was 4 :rofl:

Just checked out your cross stitch birth samplers Trillian: You are a very committed cross stitcher!!!! I can soooo appreciate the hours gone into those samplers! Well done! :clap:

Thanks Bath :)

ROFL Sam, I only just got Lindsay's framed a few weeks ago and he's 8. But in my defence I didn't really get into doing it till about 5years ago.

Trillian they are great!!! You give me hope that I can get mine done... I keep getting side projects and my poor DS only has about 5% of his done... But I will get there one day.

Sam - I just love your gumnuts! Too cute!

I used to do my cross stitching in the common room of the pub where i lived when I was at uni at age 18... everyone thought it was a bit strange.... I think I did my first actual cross stitch when i was about 15... I think my nana might have given me a kit... it was flowers on a doilie LOL who uses doilies these days hey? (me :redface: ) and I still have it. It was such a hard one to do for a beginner... onto linen. I don't think I had heard of aida cloth until I was well into my 20's.

Has anyone actually stitched onto linen?

I still use doilies too ROFL - Mum does crochet so I have millions of them in the glory box. I haven't attempted linen yet because I don't have a good enough frame to keep it evenly taught. One day I will have the $$ to get one (she sighs wistfully...)

Sam I love it... do you still have the pattern would love a photocopy if you do, you never know one day I might need another birth sampiler ;)

Bath I have and do work on linen, ( that is what I am working on witht he fairy cross stitch ) just hurts my eyes coz it so much smaller, I need one of those lights that can bend over your work or better still one with a magnifing glass as well as a light... I remember my nan having one of those...
