Cross Stitch Update

Cross stich update time. Last time I showed you how far is gotten on my last pin cushion and said is have it finished to show you this time. Well, ta Da! Hufflepuff done. That all four houses (incidentally I've got all four patterns in a pack on offer right now). And here they all…

Cross Stitch Update

I've made some progress on my Christmas cross stitch. Unfortunately I managed to add two stitches into the middle somehow so its now two stitches wider than my pattern.... I'm honestly not sure how I did that. And it hasn't ruined anything it just means I have to be very aware every time I start…

Cross Stitching along to Christmas

Most of the time that I've spent stitching since the last update has been on a secret project that I can't share yet. But I did managed to completely finish the stitching on it which meant I had time to get a bit done on my main project this week in time to show you…

Cross Stitching Along

It's been three weeks since my last cross stitch update which means another post for the stitchalong. Time just flies sometimes but I did manage to get a lot done since last time. I finished the Gryffindor pin cushion that I shared with you last time. Here it is all finished up. The design is…

Cross Stitch SAL

I have - kind of - a finish to show you! I've done all the cross stitching that I'd planned to do. So without further ado here it is:  I have two questions now. 1) shall I fill in the words with white stitching to cover up the rather holey looking fabric or leave it…

Another mini finish

I have another small finish to show you all! I'm really quite enjoying having small projects on the go whilst I'm doing a large project, it's great to have some finished along the way. The Ravenclaw pin cushion that I had started for the last update is now done. Here it is fully stitched: I'm…

First Cross Stitch Finish of 2017

I have a finish to show you! Not only did I manage to finish the stitching for my pin cushion, I also managed to actually finish the pin cushion. Here it is fully stitched and also fully finished. And some close ups: I'm really happy with it, I hashed the counting a little in that…

Cross Stitch Pin Cushion

I have done more stitching than last month but not as much as I wanted. Life got in the way and by that I mean making dozens of Christmas cards takes up a lot of time and energy! I started on the lovely Christmas ornament kit that Claire sent me as part of her giveaway.…

SAL: Back of Work

I don't have anything to show for SAL this time around as I've been trying to get Christmas presents done and wrapped but I thought I'd take the opportunity to show you what the back of my Hogwarts cross stitch looked like. I find looking at the back really interesting. I reckon that's pretty neat…

Finished Hogwarts cross stitch SAL

I've finished my project! All in all it took me about four and a half months, it's only my second ever cross stitch project and I'm rather proud of it! We washed and ironed it last week and here it is: I tell you, washing it was a very nerve wracking experience. I was certain…
