Thread painting

 My latest obsession is embroidery

More specifically, thread painting

I spent many hours, studying, reading, and trying some simpler things, before finally feeling comfortable to try this cat

This cat uses 18 colours, and took 9+ hours, just for the stitching

Refurbished website

 I have decided to completely refurbish my website https://craftcove.weebly.com/

It is still being done as we speak

I will no longer sell directly from there. It will become a gallery of items I have made. Both sold and not sold

I'm too eager to make new things, but not so much the admin side, so this will simplify things a bit. 

To buy anything, go straight to https://madeit.com.au/collections/craft-cove you can buy many of my items from there, or you can just contact me through the contact page, or by emailing craftcove@gmail.com. 

You can also request an item to be uploaded to madeit, and bought from there, if you feel more comfortable that way

I'm happy to make to order if it's no longer available, although many things are one-offs, I can often make something similar

I will still take international orders, but you will need to contact me for postage costs

So to reiterate: go over to https://craftcove.weebly.com/ for a showcase of what I can do

And go to https://madeit.com.au/collections/craft-cove for some items ready to be sold. Or email me

The Augenia Boho Bag- what you'll need

To make the Augenia Boho Bag, you'll need a few things

You will need some thread/yarn

For this bag, I used Panda Regal 4 ply cotton. This is equivalent to fingering yarn in other countries

I made it in a cream, black, and light blue

You could use a thicker yarn to make a bigger bag. Or even do a smaller one, by using thinner yarn. Your choice

You will need a crochet hook. I used a 3.00mm hook. Which is size D, in US

But you will need to adjust this if you use a different thickness yarn

You will need some lining. Anything will do. I used poly cotton lining fabric

But you could use anything you like. In any pattern, or colour you like

The other thing you would need is, some ribbon, cord, or some type of string, for the drawstring top

I just used ribbon

Be ready to start on October 1st
