They're bigger on the inside...

I seem to have a collection of friends who enjoy Dr. Who. I really enjoy the show although I haven't been watching recently. AnyWho, I wanted to make something Tardis related for all my Who friends (WHO also happen to all knit or crochet).

 Here is the finished notions/ needle/ hook case.

 

The Tardis stamp was fairly straight forward. I used speedy carve and my speed ball carving set (both can be purchased online at Amazon or Dick Blicks)

I did a few test prints on cotton paper to make sure the stamp had sufficiently clean lines. The great thing about stamps (well, one of the great things) is how mufti-purpose they are. I feel completely justified in making Tardis Festivus cards this year.

I also printed the bottom blue band with 'Bigger on the Inside'. The ink I use is VersaCraft for fabric. You can pick it up on esty or on Amazon.

The only regret I have is that I only made three. Next time I need to remember to make one for myself.

Etsy Shop Foci

I've been wanting to open an etsy shop for a while now but lacked any focus (regarding what I wanted to sell). I finally decided that, since it will be my shop, I can sell whatever I want! It doesn't need a focus, it can have foci!



These two bags are the first of many items to come; I've made a number of these bags for friends and also for myself. They have pockets on the inside for holding crochet hooks or knitting needles (or, less sexy, pens). I have one (containing a project) that I use often/keep inside my car just in case I find myself stuck in traffic (sssshhhh, don't tell the highway patrol) or waiting unexpectedly for an appointment.

I'll try to document my inventory progress as I go. The shop will likely contain items I wanted but couldn't find anywhere, so I made it for myself.
