๐Ÿ„This year was my first time attending Fantasy forest and all I can think about is going again. I met some amazing people, some talented crafters and artists along with a whole host of incredible costumes. Everyone really turned up in their best and it made the vibes immaculate!ย 

๐ŸŒฟThis was also my first time making my own costume from scratch, it took months but I've learned so much along the way and had some amazing support from some good friends. I made my first corset, skirt, hat and Chatelaine chain. (Pictures in the post) Thank you to

โœจWe were also blessed to have so many perfect photo opportunities. The grounds of Sudeley Castle are vast and you truly step into a wonderland when entering those gardens. My friend and I were lucky enough to be asked by .uk for a photo. Emily, the photographer (dressed as BBC's Merlin so you know she's the coolest) gave us the best experience. She has a real unique eye for pose, position and lighting. You'll be able to spot her work in the slides, because they're objectively the best pictures in there.ย 

๐ŸฉทAll in all, we had the best weekend, the team pulled off a miracle putting this all together, and we are thankful and eager for the next one.ย 

๐ŸŒœP.S. never posted this many pictures of myself and it's probably all you're getting for the next couple years. Peace. โœŒ๐Ÿผ

If I'm not hoarding fabric, I'm hoarding beads from charity shops and if I'm not hoarding beads from charity shops, I'm hoarding second hand frames. It's a hobby in itself and nothing fills me with more joy than that once in a blue moon occasion where all three come together. ๐Ÿ’œ๐ŸŒš๐ŸŒŸ

I did it! And it only took me a full month! I promise, one day, I'll get my act together and be consistent with my posts.

This one took a little while. It's my first time painting detail on fabric, so the clouds were achieved by full trial and error but I'm thrilled with the end result. I found the frame in a local charity shop for a single pound if you can believe โ˜บ๏ธ a lick of paint did the job perfectly and I'm completely in love with my little pink ghostie ๐Ÿ˜

More to come soon! ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ‘ป๐Ÿ’•

First post of December! So we gave November a complete and total miss, I was far too busy to post but that's not to say I haven't been stitching ๐Ÿ˜ This is a post inspired by my darling cat Hecate (Hex for short) and what I imagine she gets up to when I'm not around. ๐Ÿ‘ป

4. Apparition ๐Ÿ‘ป so I'm getting this out a litter later than I thought I would, but I also worked on it a little more than I really should've ๐Ÿ˜ฎโ€๐Ÿ’จ never the less, it's here and I'm so proud of this one. It's a little different from my usual style but I'm absolutely in love ๐Ÿ’œ HAPPY HALLOWEEN! ๐Ÿ’œ

3. Pumpkin Time! Stitchtober number three is a little late but finally up. This is one of my favourites, I got to use my glow-in-the-dark floss on top of a glow-in-the-dark cotton. This piece will light up under UV light and in a dark room ๐Ÿ’œ HAPPY HALLOWEEN! ๐Ÿ’œ
