I finished stitching up three projects:
Stitching Friends by SubRosa Design on Etsy. I changed the colours and the placement of the letterimg. I love the little mice but my family does not! The extra large sewing implements make them uneasy apparently.
Winter Stamp, a kit by Vervaco. This almost got put away for the year because I didn't want to stitch anything more with winter. However, it was the bright crocus and sweet snowdrops that kept me stitching, and I am so glad I did! I just love the colours and those two sweet little chickadees. This is one part of a seasonal series and I would love to stitch them all, however the only place I can find them now is in the UK. I am also taking part in Stitch From Stash again this year, and so far have not done too badly. Best not get off track with an impulsive mail order purchase!
This last picture was my oldest work in progress, and also the first kit I ever purchased. I started this close to three years ago and it is nice to have it completed. I found the frame at the thrift store the same day I finished stitching, so it was nice to be able to fully finish it right away.
Butterfly Scene by Creative Accents/Dimensions.
Being able to stitch again has really brought my stitching bug back. I recently had a birthday and asked for cross stitch kits of course! My kids gifted me some lovely ones, and I have started one and am setting up for another.
I also treated myself to some pretty new scissors, so I will be one happy/busy stitcher for a while!
Thanks for visiting!
