Squirrels in Chelsea

I'm trying very hard to remember to update our blog but have been so busy!

I have been lucky enough to be asked to make the squirrel mascot for All Round Clothing and also making  some extra squirrels for them to sell.

I made the pattern for the squirrels myself as finding a decent free to use pattern is very very hard! 

I plan to type up a couple of patterns I have made and put them up on here for people to use freely, sadly not the squirrel as he is exclusively for all round clothing, keep your eyes peeled!

I am so addicted to Made in Chelsea at the moment so hopefully I will find some time to type them up and make squirrels whilst i'm watching London's elite moan about their lives, ha!

Vault Boy Cross stitch

I have been rather bad at updating as I have been uber busy with a few orders which has been quite exciting!  I've almost finished the last one then onto a bit of blackwork I think!
I like to stitch in one colour, especially black, I enjoyed the QR code I did for Lee last year and vault boy, which were just black on cream aida.
Here's my vault boy stitch, back in day when I drew the patterns on graph paper from a looking at a  picture for hours XD, I actually miss doing that!

Keeping up...

I'm really bad at keeping this updated at the moment as I am making so much this month!
Busy with lots of superhero gifts at the moment :)
I'll have more time to update next month, only 3 stitches to complete in march....

Decoupage is on hold XD

Awww man! No decoupage this month :( but I have a teapot, a litre of glue and loads of magazines to chop up so i'm sure i'll get to it eventually!
I've been busy making gifts and playing angry birds, ha!

Epic geek cakes from our Facebook fans!

I am working on so much at the moment that I barely have time to update!
I really wanted to share the epic cakes that have been posted to the Crafty Geeks Facebook page 
Here's a couple to get you in the geek baking mood:

Xbox controller cake by Jen at p.s...it's vegan Not only does the cake look awesome, it's vegan, so anyone can enjoy it!

My lovely boyfriend and fellow crafty geek made me this Kirby cake for our anniversary last year, so I had to share it ^-^

Epic Fail

Well today I was going to post a tutorial but my camera batteries had run out, boooo!
I went to hobbycraft today to get decoupage supplies and some hama beads...My first attempt at the beads was not good, it's not just ironing clothes I suck at now!
Oh, and I think I've broken my toe XD lucky I don't stitch with my toes...now that would be something eh!
On the bright side my Pacman pillow was featured on spritestitch and I've started a patch for their charity quilt, my square is a screenshot from the indie PSN minis game where is my heart?
Here is a picture for today, my Pacman pillow (or cushion)! It's a full size screenshot of a game I actually played then I made it into a pattern, it took me about 4 months to finish...savvy pacman fans will spot my mistake hehe! - Stoychy

2012: New year new Blog!

I decided this year to have a Blog to share our wares on, and to share some patterns and bits. Who doesn't love free patterns and inspiration!
January is Decoupage month so at some point this month I will post my first decoupage attempt...something to look forward to!
