Reasons I'm never going to finish my masters....Part #1

So with the whole day stretching ahead of me I could have done any number of things, could have even put the finishing touches to 1/5 of my dissertation. So what did I go and do instead? Well it started quite encouragingly when I cleared several weeks worth of notes/receipts/coffee cups off of my desk so I could actually get to do some work. But its also when the trouble began, I found my bag of embroidery floss which has been in such a mess I've been avoiding doing any stitching: obviously sorting it was more important than essay-writing so several hours later....

Zip Brooches

I mentioned in a previous post that I wanted to see if I could make the zip brooches without having to handstitch through six or seven layers of zip. These are the result, I need to clean up some of the hot glue that is showing but apart from that - and hot gluing myself multiple times in the process - they are a success. Also my pins finally arrived so all have brooch pins on the back now. Got a stall at a Macmillan thing next month, some of these might find their way there.

In other news I'm in the middle of a new knitting project so soon I'll have a post that actually fits my blog name: yay!
