A Crafty Mixtape (Mix-CD)



I was very enthusiatic about embroidery for roughly four days in November, before setting my 1/3 finshed sampler down in frustration and promptly forgetting about it. (Lazy daisies are not my friends.)

While knitting and sewing, the lovely wearable end product definately fires my obsession, and I just don't feel that drive with embroidery. I'm going through a slightly vagrant life-stage, so making things to decorate a house I might only live in for 6 months seems a bit pointless. I'd rather make clothes than embellish them. I still have some grand scale embroidery dreams, but I can't quite be bothered with the learning curve of smaller projects it will take to get there.

All this said, I have finally completed a (very very small) embroidery piece!

This week I was making a long owed mixtape for my favourite gentleman caller. (Well, it was a mix-CD, but that just doesn't sound as good!) I wanted to make a sweet cover for it, but unfortunately I am challenged in the artistic department and lumbered with decidely unattractive handwriting. Crafts to the rescue!


   
I read somewhere that good embroidery is as neat on the inside as on the outside...

I doubt Andy has ever watched Mean Girls, but I amuse myself at least...


Well... Almost there!
