My Handmade Bookmarks - Fandom themed




Hey, everyone!

I'm haven't blogged for a while because I am   lazy dealing as usual, with a four letter word L-F-F-E.

I've haven't blogged in so long, that it was getting on the nerves of the crafting Muse (who lives in the spare bedroom aka the craft hoarding room) .

When things get on HER nerves, that  makes ME nervous.

Why? 

Because he last time she got nervous she wapped me with her magic wand.

For weeks after, I was still picking up sparkles off the carpet, I tell yah. 

I was so touched, with ... her concern, that I decided to post some things that I have made. 

I make things by the book,
So of course , one of my favorite things to make are bookmarks. 

You know , those markers for old school people (young through senior) who actually like to touch paper and read paper books.

Below are some machine embroidery bookmarks that I recently made.

How Sweet It IS- Candy Stocking Stuffers

Hey, I haven't been around lately so getting some time to blog about crafting is so sweet!

The Craft Muse who lives in the spare bedroom aka the craft hoard room, had a real sour look on her face the other day.  I don't know the cause, but it could be that she ran out of Crafting Muse Vitamins.

What are Craft Muse Vitamins? Well, they are small round and made entirely of a substance that is brain power food. Yeah, you got it, in other words chocolate.

With Christmas just weeks away, I had bought some brain power food .  It is kinda of a tradition that I MUST buy Hershey's chocolate nuggets, Hershey's Kisses and Pearson Mints to decorate and place in everyone's stockings. A special gift to add to their brain power.

And you know what? Crafting Muse's stockings appear small, but they are bigger on the inside....ummm, from WHO did I get that from??

So any who, I did some craft muse magic brain power of my own and made some candy stocking stuffers.  They were fun and I'm hoping also fun to eat.

See the below to decide which brain power food that you would like to taste first.



















I also made some non-brain power food stocking stuffers, for those who (gasp!) don't like chocolate. They are ribbon lip balm holders and I also put some lip gloss in a few.

Some DIY Machine Embroidered Book Marks

I've been serving a  "time out" in the embroidery zone given to me , by the Craft Muse.

Why?

Well, apparently one does NOT comment on how wrinkly the Craft Muse wings are when she is coming out of her bedroom aka the craft hoarding room.

Never make a comment about anything,  before she has her morning fix of coffee. And never, ever, ever, mention wings and wrinkles in the same sentence.

I did that and lesson learned. 

"But First Coffee" will be tattooed on my forehead, so I will never make THAT mistake again.

So,  any whoo, while in the embroidery zone, I made some good use of the my time er time out.

Since I love to read, ( and who doesn't? since you are reading this , you do ) I decided to make some machine embroidered book marks.  

Yes, actual book marks for the old school people who read words on paper aka a book....

Below are some book marks that I made.
