Cross Stitch ATC - Cross Stitch theme (stitchers choice)


Here is my last ATC for Janurary! I loved this design (used from a WOXS mag design that was out a few months ago... the border I used from a freebie chart) Roll on next months ATC swaps :D

Cross Stitch ATC - New Year Theme


Here is my cross stitch ATC made for a group I recently joined on Facebook. The theme for this one was New Year so I decided on a champagne glass as it fitted in with the New Year Celebration :) I really enjoyed stitching this as it was such a quick finish.

Alaskan Malamute - Half way mark


I finally picked this back up after leaving it to one side before Christmas. It was meant to be finished and given to my mother in law to be as her Christmas pressie but it is such a pain to stitch with all those browns and blacks! It started doing my head in and I found it became a chore to stitch so I left it for a while. I'm glad i'm finally half way through now though.... the end is getting closer!

Snow/Winter theme ATC


This is one of 3 ATCs that I have completed this month. This got finished earlier this evening and was stitched for the cross stitch forum I am a member of :) The theme for this one was snow/winter due to the snow we have been having recently. It took just a few hours to complete as its just a small design :)

Snowman Christmas tree decoration

This is the last Christmas decoration I am doing for this year. I have to admit though, this is my favourite by far :) It was stitched on plastic canvas using Anchor threads.

I did actually finish this a few months ago but never got around to taking a pic. This now takes proud place on our living room wall :)

This is quite a small decoration for our xmas tree, it was stitched on plastic canvas and done with anchor threads. I plan to make a few more *hopes i'll have plenty of time to stitch* :)

Teddy Christmas card


I have finished yet another Christmas card. This didn't take long to stitch at all and I managed to glue it together this time rather than use double sided tape so its made it look alot better. Now i'm wishing I didn't need to send these off lol!

Snowman Christmas card


This is another Christmas card that I have made for one of my stitchy penpals :) Quite a small design but I really like it.

Secret Stashmas Christmas card


I made this for a Secret Santa sort of idea which was for a cross stitching forum I am a member of 'Stashmas' as we call it. I am really pleased with the outcome and I did really enjoy stitching this one... it really gets you into the Christmas mood!

Alaskan Malamute- Page one complete


It seems to have taken forever to get this far but I have finally finished my first page! I know you can't really tell what its meant to be yet, its just a massive brown blob haha. I am working on the top right hand side now which has quite alot of her face in so I am hoping that soon she will actually look like a dog!

Alaskan Malamute

Not really much to say about this one at the moment apart from its quite boring to stitch! All the browns and blacks are never ending. This is going to be my mother-in-law to be's christmas pressie from me, as she has been asking me for a while to stitch something for her. She recently got a Malamute (about 2 months ag0) and has fell totally inlove with her so when I saw this design, I just had to have it.

ACT Card

This was just a little project I was working on for a cross stitch forum I am a member of. Not much going on with it to be honest as I was quite pushed for time on it. I used the symbols from the stitcher sampler I completed a while back for this design, it was stitched on 14 count white aida using DMC threads.

Eeyore seaons *update 2*


I finished the Autumn season at the beginning of last week, then started 'winter' over the weekend. This is coming along really well now and so its so good to have such a colourful project to turn too when I get bored of stitching something else.

Stylish Silhouette- Now finished


I finished this about 2 months ago ish now (sorry for the late update here) and I am really pleased with the finished result. Its still not framed yet mind, its still actually in my stitching bag waiting lol! I have noticed since doing this that I don't mind doing backstitch at all now, I think it may be down to having so much practice with this.

Stylish Silhouette update


I haven't had much time to stitch the past few months due to moving etc. but here is just a quick update on how I am getting on with this. I am loving how this is developing now, it comes to life more and more every time I stitch :D
