Maybe some day...

I've found this fun cross-stitching website that sells kits and patterns. It's fun to go to sometime and dream. Maybe someday...

Thanks Mom!

Thanks Mom for picking me up some more colors! My cross-stitching project had come to a halt, but Mom came to the rescue! Thanks for swing by Hobby-Lobby and picking me up the colors I needed. :-)

Christmas Projects: update

Ok, as I said before, it's very hard to post what Christmas projects I'm doing because I don't who will be looking at my blog. I don't want the receivers to see the gift I'm working on.

So far, I have one of three Christmas tree hangings done. I'm working on a different project: a wall hanging. I found the design in a book. I didn't have all the threads I need, so I started with the threads I have and am planning to order more. I'm almost to the place where I can't do any more with my current threads, so will be ordering soon.

Christmas Projects

It's time to start working on Christmas projects! Sadly, I can't tell or show you what I'm doing until after Christmas. (Don't want to spoil the surprise in case someone I'm giving the gifts too finds my blog.)

I'll give you want updates I can; as weekend, we went to a rabbit show. I got a lot done on the project I was working on. I finished the first Christmas gift yesterday! Time to start on the next.

Adventures of Link

The Link cross stitch is finished! For those who are unfamiliar with Link, it is an old nester game. My brother enjoys playing it on the computer and asked me to make a cross stitch of Link finding the finally enemy; Shadow Link. For each pixel, I made an "X." I hope you enjoy!

Still working on Link

The Link cross-stitch is almost done! I'm mostly working on the background, which is time consuming. Hope to have it done soon!

Link; work in progress


My current project, I'm working on another cross stitch for my brother. This time, it's a screen shot from the game of Link. Again, I'm using the pixels as my reference
point, and every pixel is an "X" in the design. Will post a picture of the finished project!

P.S. I am not going the whole screenshot; just the part with Link and Shadow Link fighting.

Shadix

Am going back and posting old projects I have finished for my Projects gallery. This is a cross stitch I made for my brother Timothy. He likes to make comics from spite sheets. Shadix is his persona. For each pixel, I made an "X." Hope you enjoy!

Cataloging thread colors

Between working on home work, I decided it would be a good idea to catalog all my thread colors. I mostly have DMC, but I was alway given some DFN colors. The DMC website has a lot of helpful information. I also found a DFN and DMC conversation chart.


Library

I am discovering how many cross stitching books are at my library! I've been having great fun pouring through them and looking at the charts. Christmas is coming up way too fast, so I'm looking for gift ideas.
