London Faberge Egg Hunt - Zone 7

Yes yes yes, another zone done! Zone 7 has also been completed and no missing eggs this time, whoohoo! Zone 7 is Trafalgar Square, also an area I don't visit too often so I had to ask for directions a few times... See, even after nearly 7 years in London I still don't know my way around the most famous areas! But I guess I'm chasing that now ;) honestly, I don't think I have ever walked this much! I better have lost some weight or something after this... 

 
The result for zone 7. I found them all! I have to admit that I missed three and had to go back another day but I did manage to find them all in the end :) Again, if you want to see the whole list for this zone, please click here. The entire listing is taking a bit too much time at the moment ;)

As always, my favourites of this zone. Also, this way you can see a better pic of these which is always good I guess as some of these are amazing!

 This is egg 5, Around the World in a Dream. I really liked the way it's painted, very Burtonesque. The bf says it's more like Mary Poppins though... what do you think?

 Another very Londony egg was egg 128, Our Team. It displays the people who will be competing in the Olympics fr England, and while I don't know most of them, I can definitely recognise Paula Radcliffe here in the front :) Go me! Well I hardly ever watch sports... 

 This little guy was just too cute not to include! Egg 114, Egg Hog. He actually looks different from the other side but I didn't know that at the time. You can see the other side if you click the link above.

 No this is not an egg ;) But with the all the travelling I had plenty of time to work on my cross stitch in the tube (with lots of people looking at me strangely of course as it's not the normal book/ipad/kindle/game idea). But I'm getting very far already! I have no idea when this will be finished but there is another needlework meetup tomorrow where I can happily continue. At least I'm still crafting :)

Zone 7 Trafalgar Square can now officially be ticked off. No eggs to go back for, it's finished :) Yay! The total count is looking quite well I must say with only a few more to go. I have an idea for a grand finale post about these so keep your eye out for that. On the other hand, let me fnish this thing first ;)

Scissor Sock Tutorial

Image
Hi all! I've had so many request from friends for these scissor socks that I wanted to share the tutorial with you. I've been sick for a while so this tutorial is well over due. This will be my first sewing tutorial so I hope it's clear enough :) Feel free to make you own or for friends or family, but please don't use it for commercial purposes or make them to sell. It is after all not my pattern. So let's get started :) You need: 2 pieces of fabric with different print Interfacing (with ironing option on one side only) Cord Ribbon 1 button  Beads Cutting mat and ruler Rotary cutter and scissors Some sort of circular template (I use a small plate) Needle and thread Cut the fabric and the interfacing to a rectangle of 9x12.5 inches (23x32 cm). Decide which fabric you want where, this will influence the next step. Use your circular template to round one corner. The fabric you want on the top and bottom of your sock will have t

Easter Prep Stage 3 - Happy Easter!

Image
Happy Easter everyone! I hope you're having a great day and no matter where you are you've had your fair share of Easter eggs whether real or chocolate. :) I was a bit late as usual so had a few last minute projects to complete last night... Lots of cool Easter projects though, let me show you:  I started this at last week's Craft Meet. Everyone around me was knitting and I felt a bit like a 5-year old with my paint chips cutting out eggs, but there was a need for it. I found a great idea on Pinterest and just had to try it. So I rushed to the DIY store and got a pile of paint chips... Taadaa, the Easter bunting! Isn't it the coolest! The original idea was found here (please link to the ORIGINAL POST when adding this to Pinterest if you want to pin this) , and I just love it! The paint chips I used were a little different from what the original post shows, and I thought it would be nice to have some diagonal eggs as well. THAT was not such a good id

Fabulising February - Men's Shirt Dress

Image
Hi everyone! Fabulising February is nearly over and this is the last project I have managed to complete.Tomorrow I'll post a short recap showing all the finished projects. Wanting to go out with a bang, I tackled a men's shirt that the bf bought online many years ago and forgot to return it so I wanted to make something nice out of it. Seems a waste to be throwing away a brand new shirt! Granted, it was white and while probably cotton it was very thick and stiff material. So I dyed it purple. Of course. Once it was purple, I then had to try and do something with it. Easier said than done! I finally found a cute idea for a dress in blogland (didn't save the link though) and I really wanted to try that. But the instructions were super tricky so in the mending pile it went. This is the shirt. Much too large even for the bf but purple at least ;) And a bit wrinkled for being in the bag for a very long time. But with only a little time left in my Fabulising February
