Space Invader cross stitch brooch and Wesley Crusher's sweater inspired hat


Hey! Have you had a good weekend? Mine has been really good! Pip and I went shopping yesterday for craft supplies which was super fun, and today I finally got around to taking photos of some of my finished projects ^_^ Time for show and tell!


I cross-stitched this Space Invader brooch. I'm really happy with how it turned out! I used black aida cloth (which I finally found in Bunbury, of all places!) and hot pink thread. I've been really into pink lately, which is very strange because I think my last pink phase was when I was about six ~_^ I used a self-cover button to make this, and then glued a badge pin on to make it a brooch.

I've been playing around with my digital SRL (which I finally got working again) and I am in love with the super macro feature. Isn't it cool? ^_^
 

Next up, I made a beanie for the 100 Beanie Drive, taking inspiration from Wesley Crusher's awesome striped jumper (see above)! But, I think I made a bit of a mistake ... I thought the third stripe was green, but then someone told me it's actually blue >_< Urgh! Is there such thing as blue/ green colour blindness? I get those two colours mixed up constantly!

But, I think it's a pretty nice looking hat anyway, so I guess it's all ok ^_^ I made it with 100% wool, and I really hope it's soft enough!
 

I've got a couple more projects that are this close to being finished, so hopefully I'll have more photos to share with you soon!

  1. Way to go, can't believe you finished your Wesley hat already!
    I agree that stripe DOES look green in the picture.
    Also... "WHEATON!!!"

    1. Hey, we agree on a colour! Yay! ~_^
      It was a pretty fast project, except for the ribbing which took ages. Still, a series of Sherlock was enough to have it almost complete ^_^

  2. Looks green to me. Or a really dark shade of teal, which is blue green!

    Love the pin!

    1. Thanks Omlair! ^_^ With your option it now seems we have a current consensus that the third stripe is green - yay! ^_^
