After a bit of a hiatus, Making Friday is back! The best Making Fridays are spent making things for no reason and no particular purpose, and that’s just what I achieved today, cutting up bits of my fabrics to make this family of odd little stuffed objects/pincushions. Have a great weekend, everyone!

Zafu
It’s Making Friday, but I’ve got a nasty chesty bug and am not up to much today. Also, I had a great Making Wednesday this week, so I think I’m allowed today off. Just this once! But before I bugger off home to feel sorry for myself (and probably tweet about it), I did want to …

Making Friday 15 March
Woah, that was one super-productive Making Friday, stretching all the way from Thursday afternoon til Sunday! Alongside the yoga workshops and hoovering (which are what weekends ought to be about) I managed to squeeze in two animations, the sewing of a zafu, and I made a cutout illustration for a charity auction at the Book …

Making Friday 9 March
I don’t know what this stuff is called, and I don’t even know where I got it from, but it’s rather fab. You can cut any shape you like, then apply a lot of heat, peel off the top layer, and your shape will have fused to the fabric in a slightly rubbery fashion. That’s …

Hooray! After Giselle popped around on Thursday to tend to my window boxes, I couldn’t wait to try my …

Pinks in action
As promised in yesterday’s post, here are the work-in-process results of my pink-infused Making Friday. I’m making sticker wallpaper for my studio bathroom. And look! I’m even wearing pink. Sheesh… Happy weekend, everyone!

Pin it! (for real)
Yesterday I declared today would be Making Day, as I was fed up with sitting behind my computer all day, which I seem to do a lot now. Nonetheless, I found myself sitting at the computer this morning indulging my most favourite online addiction: Pinterest. In self defense, I grabbed a stack of cards and …
