Poppy Fairy and Honesty verse finishes

-


Hello there.

 First of all, I would like to thank you for stopping by to read my blog entries. I am fairly new to blogging but I have been reading blogs since 2009. I was already cross stitching at that time just to have something to do. I didn't know that there’s a lot of information, freebies and blogs about cross stitch online until I happened to type and search “cross stitch” on Google. Since then, I was hooked. I love reading every cross stitch blog I could find. I love all the information you have provided about the craft. Also, I have been watching videos about cross stitch on YouTube. I love watching fellow cross-stitchers talking about their projects, WIPS , finishes and video tags while I am stitching. Last month, I thought I would give blogging a go. Just like many of us, we want to share our passion for cross stitching. And, I am just as happy to know that I have views on my blog. So, thank you for that.

Today, I would like to share with you my latest finish project. The stitching was completed last May 2014 but only got it framed last week. I decided to do the framing myself since I don't want special matting on it. I purchased the frame with 40% coupon. Then, I drove 30 miles to a frame shop in Hagerstown, MD to buy a length of clear spacer. I already have the acid free mounting board in stock. I think I did well. Here is the finished project. The fabric is from Silkweaver (forgot the name) and it is 28 count evenweave.


Poppy Fairy by Joan Elliot



Poppy Fair is the second Joan Elliot design I have done. The first one was the Earth Goddess. Now that it is done, I’ve started a few stitches of her Lady Bug design. As you can see, I love designs with black and orange color.

Another framed finished project is this one: The design is from an old book. It took me several trips to different Goodwill stores for the frame and I got it for a dollar.



As for my WIPS, I am trying to finish this small project I started on the 4th of July. :) It is a slow progress.





Thanks for stopping by. 

Happy Stitching!

October Cross Stitch Work-in-Progress

The trend in cross stitching world right now is to work on a project that is picked by the decision wheel or roulette. I like the idea so I downloaded the app on my phone. I like the idea of not wasting my energy deciding which one to stitch for the day. Most of the time, it is a difficult process for me since I have about 150 plus of projects wanting my attention. So, I decided to have the first set of 11 projects. They are based on the following categories. One big full coverage project - my plan is to stitch 100-200 stitches a day on this project One Mirabilia design  One Lavender and Lace design One Joan Elliot design  One Dimension kit One Christmas stocking Five various designs from different designers I have chosen the projects for this endeavor. My plan is to work on these projects until they are finished. For instance, when a Mirabilia project is finished, I will pick another Mirabilia project that I have already started to add to the wheel. I wan...

On August 28th, I received the largest diamond painting kit I have purchased so far. I ordered it from AliExpress vendor. It was on sale, I think but I bought it for $16 free shipping. Here is what it looked like when I received the goods. The supplies were not in a box like the ones I saw on YouTube and Facebook. They were wrapped in a bubble wrap. I figured maybe because it was a bit cheaper. These are the contents. I have all the diamonds that are required for this project. I am not sure what are that blue and black plastic thingy though. I am not sure what it is for. Can you please tell me? They called this a Dream Home - Cabin Scenery. And I think it is a 90x40 cm picture size. This is a round drill kit. I thought I ordered a square drill kit but I wasn't really paying attention to the diamond shape when I ordered. the canvas This will be my third DP project. The first DP project I did was the kitten. I ordered the kit from Amazon. I wo...
