Adventure Is Out There!

Its Day 13 of Pinterest Fortnight folks , this is literally the home stretch! And I am so excited about todays make!!!! First I'll show you the inspiration then I'll get to the explaining!

 

 

This was my inspiration straight off my Pinterest board! And it come from this lovely little shop on

 Etsy!  

I love the balloons which got my thinking about one of my favourite movies!

Ever since I was little, I have always been Disney obsessed I pride myself on my Disney knowledge , in fact I don't like the toot my own horn but I once won a game of Disney trivial pursuits in one turn! so TOOT TOOT! Anyway there are three Disney movies that make me cry without fail every time "Bambi", "The Fox and theHound" and "UP!"

 

UP! Is such a wonderful story of adventure and ever lasting love! But mainly I love it because of the house.

 

 

 

The house floats by balloons! How whimsical is that! Its just so magical , and I'm actually very jealous that my house doesn't float via balloons. Which leads me quite nicely to my make!

 

 

My very own UP! house!

 

 

 I decided to do the house in quite a simple style so that the buttons would the focus point!

 

 

As usual I worked using my Grandmothers embroidery hoop. Although when I was tightening it I did hear a small crack , now I cant find any damage but I'm being twice as careful as usual with it!

 

 

I worked on a really lovely linen and all of the buttons are from my stash! It was a really nice opportunity to use up all of the odd buttons I've collected over the years , I tend to use buttons in twos or more. So it was nice to have a good search through!

 

 

Lovely bright coloured buttons!

 

 

This might actually be one of my favourite makes from Pinterest Fortnight! Now I just need to find a spare five minutes so I can turn this, my tattoo style embroidery, my owl embroidery, and my Darth vader embroidery into cushions so I can put them up for sale in My Etsy Shop!

 

I cant wait to see all of them as cushions I think they are going to look awesome!

 

See you tomorrow for the Grand Finale! Lord knows what I'm going to make!

 

Much Love

A long time ago in a galaxy far far away.....

So its Day 4 of Pinterest fortnight and trust me making a project everyday is really starting to take its toll! I'm fairly sure I have a project in at least every room of the house! But onto todays inspiration!!!! And if you haven't already guessed its a Star Wars one!

 

 

I'm not 100% on the origin if this design but I think its from witchcityink.com, if any one can confirm this please let me know and I'll amend this blog and set up a link! I absolutely love this, it popped up when I was looking for sugar schools and it seemed so perfect!

 

My entire family is Star Wars obsessed and my Dad used to be called Darth Vader by his work colleagues. I think they'd all be proud of me crafting Star Wars goodness!

 

I started off by tweaking the design a bit because I wanted mine to be completely my own and this is the design I ended up with! Apologies for the crumple Little Knitwit decided to help me out on the photography!

 

 

Then it seemed pretty clear to me what I needed to do with it! Embroidery of course! So I think it officially needs to be called "Star Wars a New Hoop!" I'm going to stop with the bad jokes now! Or at least I'll try!

 

 

I really don't see why they didn't go for this look in the movies..... much more friendly

 

 

I'd show you what the back looks like but my momma taught me that a lady never shows her backside in public!

 

 

 Hearts for a nose and flowers for eyes not Darths usual look!

 

 

I loved doing this! I'm finding the more fun I think the finished product will be the quicker I'm getting it done!

 

And I have one more surprise! There is going to be another star wars craft coming very soon in......

 

Star Wars: Return of the Knitting!

 

Please Lord let me think of another star wars project so I can have the trilogy!!! Please!!!!

 

Much Love

 

And May The Force Be With You
