Some fun recent projects, trying to get back in the crafting mood again. It's been a while since I heard the call of the muse.

New sewing projects!

After nearly 2 months no #sewing I found some time recently to make couple of small projects (I'm in my learning phase)
This time i decided to make an elastic #bandana and a small coin pouch.
As usual more information are in my free #kofi post: https://ko-fi.com/post/Sewing-Weekend-T6T51GMH5B #sewingproject

And as usual picture of the finishedh projects

Someone in a workshop asked how many patterns are possible to make with our Hitomezashi Sashiko Pattern Generator.

I think it's 2^(warp+weft), so... a comically huge number of possibilities.

By limiting the pattern to 4x4, I see 256 unique patterns.

Our app has 28 rows and cols available, so 2^56, about 72 quadrillion. Animating through every option at 60 frames per second, it would take 38 million years to see them all.

Current state of a small project in between, to see how I could use up really small leftovers of fabric from other projects. Nice outcome. The inner square is only 4 x 4 cm.

Local pottery artist sees business success in pop-up unit at Maesteg Market

Mudwerx Bespoke Pottery, based in Pyle, is a creative business rooted in the therapeutic power of clay. During their stay, Mudwerx run a variety of community-based workshops and classes, alongside fulfilling bespoke commission pieces for local as well as national customers.

The interactive workshops included clay throwing, pottery painting, and live demonstrations of the pottery wheel, which was attended by adults and children of all experiences.

Drew Richards, founder of Mudwerx, said: “I’m incredibly grateful to Bridgend Council for the fantastic opportunity to be part of the pop-up shop initiative. The support I’ve received throughout my occupancy has been second to none. As a small business still finding its feet, having the chance to showcase my work and run workshops in a dedicated space has allowed me to raise awareness of Mudwerx, increase my confidence in running a business and to reach new audiences.”

“The experience has been truly inspiring. I’ve met so many wonderful people – from customers and fellow traders to new friends and future collaborators. It’s been a real confidence boost and a huge step forward after years of working from my garden studio.” Drew continued.

“Being given the chance to run my own shop, even for a limited time, has meant the world to me. I’m proud to have been part of such a supportive and creative initiative, and I’m excited for what’s next.”

Councillor Neelo Farr, Bridgend County Borough Council’s Cabinet Member for Regeneration, Economic Development and Housing, said, “The pop-up unit in Maesteg Market has already seen some wonderful businesses in the space so far and I am delighted that Drew has had such a positive reception. This opportunity is perfect for those who are looking to test a business idea in a shop setting. I would greatly encourage businesses to submit interest in the space; it is a fantastic place to showcase.”

The next business to host the pop-up unit will be ‘Entwined Together Crafts by Pip’, a craft business based in Llangynwyd and will be in the unit until Sunday 2nd July.

Great example of how some films become #cult hits, plus some revelations about the director which I never knew.

A while ago I read an article by @pjonori that talked about how craftsmen make jigs for themselves.

It inspired me to start sharing some them and I wrote up a quick blog post about my approach

Heute gibt’s eine meiner Lieblingsvasen. Zwei Tonsorten beim Drehen verwendet und dann nur farblos glasiert. Ist inzwischen bei einer sehr, sehr lieben Freundin gelandet - das passt doch.

Creative Parenting Activity #22: Woodworking is a life long skill to have as an expressive outlet during the hard times in life and a helpful skill when creating products to aid in day to day life. If money is tight tools to get started could be a birthday or Christmas gift and used as motivation for doing well at school, good behaviour, reaching goals or something specific to the needs of your child.... https://rons-home.net/en/living-life-lab/tool-box/creative-parenting-activity/2025/06/17 #create #craft #woodworking #wood [Next Tip Jun 24 2025]

What was once a pointless and stupid utility closet full of brooms and junk by the previous owners is now a gorgeous built-in pantry, freeing up every shelf in the kitchen cabinets.

Automating the built-in lighting is next!

On Learning to Love Your “Failures”

Career Authors
by Kate McKean As both a literary agent and a writer, it is my impulse to start with the worst-case scenario. When you’re prepared for that, you can handle anything—or at least the bad things that come your way. There’s this other thing, though, that can happen. It’s called success. And it too can happen […]…
