Hobbit Sword Tag Description


Thousands of years before Sauron attempted to overpower Middle Earth by forging one ring of power, a being that was once the greatest immortal spirit who helped forge the world itself was already polluting the lands with evil.
The most ancient myths suggest Melkor was builiding in secret one sword to rule them all - an idea that Sauron later merely copied albeit with rings of power. This sword ‘Bubblelin’ was found hidden in the deepest depths of a secret cave system, and has now been found. It was originally forged to bubbleorise elves, that is to spectacularly vaporise or splatter hosts of powerful elves. The most powerful elves were said to bubbleorise in such a spectular fashion, that travelling companies of dwarves would often stop in awe and wonder.  Modern Elvish scholars have suggested Melkor abandand the final construction steps necessary to give the sword its full power. Likely because Melkor had captured a number of Elves before the Valar attacked him, and tortured and corrupted them, breeding the first Orcs - which he considered his ultimate war tool.
During the ensuing War of Wrath, Beleriand and much of the north of Middle-earth was destroyed and reshaped. In the end, Morgoth was utterly defeated, and his armies were almost entirely slaughtered.

Summer and Scarves

What a beautiful day! I completed making some scarves out of two pieces of fabric, then I decided to have a wee photo shoot of my creations.

From this: 
To these:
The scarfs were very easy to make just cut and machine sew!
Whilst I was having fun taking my photos I noticed this beautiful dragonfly beside me,

 and then I noticed the bumble bee that was collecting pollen :)
Don't you just love summer!

A New Quilt!

I have not finished sewing my first quilt yet but whilst I wait to figure out how to properly sew the front and back together, I have started a new quilt. While playing with some fabric pieces, I had cut out I noticed an abstract heart and had to sew it together... I might use it on the back.


Hobbit Sword Christmas Gift

My brother kept on asking us to get him a hobbit sword for christmas. However, paying for the real deal was not going to happen so I started looking around the toy stores and found this bubble sword at Whitcoulls for a good price :)


It was not a hobbit sword though, so I copied some hobbit images from the internet and used Adobe Photoshop to create a tag. On the back I created a story of the sword's creation -with the help from my partner Braden.

Here is the final creation.
