Youth and Age - my second finished project

-
Another finished project for me for this month. I have been wanting to finish this one because I thought that it is just so quick and easy. But, it was put aside many times. When I was organizing bins the other night, I found this project. So last night, I stitched on this while watching the Harry Potter movie marathon on SyFy. And this morning, I stitched the last X, placed my initials and date and call this a finish. YAY! 😍

This is an old design from an old cross stitching magazine, Cross Quick Magazine. There is no information as to who designed this piece though. There are 10 DMC colors on this design and I have it stitched on a piece of 14-count white Aida.

I like designs with quotes and sayings. It is nice to have them around the house. I remember when
I was a kid, I would stop whenever I see a display in any house that has sayings or words on it and read the words out loud. I thought it was fun. 😊

I will be framing this project. Just a regular photo frame with a back stand so it can be displayed on a desk or table.



Excerpt from the magazine:
"Every age possesses a unique beauty, which glows not only from the face but also from within. This adage teaches us to appreciate those inner qualities - wisdom, generosity of spirit, appreciation of small things - that develop with the years."

Happy stitching everyone.

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...

Diamond Painting Unboxing

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...
