It’s so good to be back!!! My test is finally finished, and although I still have to go to work, I’ve got more free time to make stuff, which I enjoy very much!!!!
I tried needle felting for the first time, it was so fun!! Probably not the part that I keep poking my own fingers, which hurts sooooooooooooooo much!!! T_T
This is my first creation – Mikan San
(Mikan means mandarin orange in Japanese, and San is just a polite way of addressing someone)
Trying do a photo shoot for Mikan San *smile*
I’ve seen some lovely projects using sashiko**, so I bought some sashiko threads to try^^ I just won’t stop trying things hehehe :p **Sashiko is a form of Japanese embroidery.
A friend gave me some lovely smelling lavender, I wonder what I will use them for… * v *
I’m now off to do some more felting, or should I sew?? Can’t decide><
I hope you have a wonderful day!
Hello,
Can I buy sashiko thread on line? U.S. stores? Thanks!
Hi Chase,
Yes, you can buy sashiko threads online, but the one I bought mine from is an Australian store – Kimono House.
Or else I know some sellers on Etsy sell them too! Let me know if you need help locating a seller^^
I thought it was a pumpkin!! ^^u
I like so much Sachiko embroidery! hope if you have the time, write something about sachiko! I’m searching a tutorial but there’s nothing!
My other friend thought it was a pumpkin too!!
I need to buy some plain fabrics before I can do sashiko, I’m thinking linen would be a good choice! I’ll definitely write about it!! Probably something simple for beginners!
ur mikan san is soo cute!!! I love the isu photo!!!
hehehe thanks!!^_^
I got a few of those mini designer chairs at home!!
you little mandarin is adorable. i’ve never tried needle felting. is it very difficult? for whatever reason, it intimidates me.
thanks so much for commenting on my blog last week. i love meeting readers! hope you have a wonderful weekend.
Needle felting is difficult if you go beyond the basic round shape I think>< I was trying to felt a teddy, wasn't so successful, I'll take a pic and post about it lol
I think I'll go back to the basic shapes and practice more first!!
And too bad I didn't win your giveaway>< hehe
What a lovely creation! i’m a starter too… i’ve got the needles, base, wool and a pre-packed sheep kit.. not sure which is better to start off… maybe i should also start on basic shapes too… i love your theme for the blog too.. very nice!
sounds like you are all ready to go!!! definitely start with basic shapes.. like some kind of fruit.. maybe:)
Try not to poke your fingers!!!!!!! I know it’s hard!!!!
