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

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 Progress (SAL)

I finally managed to unpick all of the backstitching on my Peter pan quote and can show you a proper picture of the finish. Here it is framed and hooped. I'm pretty proud of the fact I designed that and as always for any patterns I make it's available in my etsy shop as a…

Cross Stitch Update

First off I want to say thanks for all of the advice I got on my last cross stitch update. I've given a few of the ideas a go since then but I have to say it hasn't gone well. I tried back stitching in brown like a couple of you suggested, then green as…

Mid Year Goals – How am I doing?

It's July! Where is the year going? It seems like only a couple weeks ago that I made my new years goals for the year but here we are six months later. I thought it would be good time check in with them (no point making goals if you forget all about them).   Writing…

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…

Cross Stitching On (SAL Update)

Progress is a bit scattered on this one. Lots of chunks of different greens. I've been picking a colour and following it around the pattern so I'm not focusing on one leaf like I was last time. But here's where I was last time and this time with lots more green. You can see about…

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…
