Baroque by Inkcircles

I know you guys haven't seen this project for WAAAY too long a time! I really am very naughty and don't bring it out enough. BUT I have a goal for this one. I intend to finish this one in the next year. It is easily doable all I need to do is actually keep focusing on it.

Just last weekend I managed to finish half of one of the squares though I had an overly productive weekend. There was a local cross stitch meetup so I spent most of the day Saturday stitching and then a fair amount of time on Sunday as well. It has also been the only project I've been working on at night so it's been getting a great bit of love.

I'm hoping to finish the square I'm currently working on sooner rather than later and then work out how to make this project a priority.

 

So without further ado here are some progress pics. Not the best but I struggle to get good photos at the moment. I think it's the sparkly fabric and the lighting. 

 

This one is showing off more of the sparkly fabric. It just makes me smile to work on it.

But these two books have just recently come out and I've managed to get my hands on them soooo.... see me in a couple of weeks once I've finished reading them a couple of times!

Though I was in a random mood on the weekend and instead of reading I cleaned and sorted my bookshelves. I've been like this for a couple of weeks it's like I can't sit and enjoy right now when the areas are an absolute mess!

Anyway I hope you enjoyed the update it's great to actually be working on this again. 

Happy Stitching,

Graduation Teddy Bear

Ohk I know I'm a week late for those that are graduating in Queensland but it was my Nephew's graduation last Friday and on Saturday I decided to make something special for him. 

Cue this little cutie the GRADUATION BEAR you can find it by following the link. I adapted my Teddy Bear pattern to add a cap and gown so they are all ready to graduate. There are two ways to do the cross stitch tassel on the top of the cap, I like where you make a special tassel and I've included instructions with the pattern.

To make it even more awesome I actually stitched it up AND finished the cross stitching. I created this cute little pillow below :D This truly is one of my favourite ways to finish my stitching. It is so quick and easy and such a great way to display your piece.

You can purchase this pattern

Friday Finds: Does a frying pan work?

I'm a bit of a disney fan, anyone that knows me knows this. I love the movies and can sing most of the music word perfect!

I have always wondered if a frying pan would actually work in the way that it does in tangled and now I have an answer!!

So in case you needed to know please watch this awesome video about the logistics of a frying pan as an actual weapon!

Two Girls Cross Stitch

New Pattern out now!

Towards the end of last month I was requested to do a custom design of two girls and instead of hiding them away I made sure that I could share this design with you.

These special characters are designed to represent two of the teacher aides in her child's classroom. But I could see how easy it would be to adapt these to represent a lot of different women. I made them so that the heads would be interchangeable between the two girls. You can change the skin colours and play with all the different combinations of colours available to make a character that looks like the person you want it to.

I hope you enjoy this new pattern and that it becomes something that is useful and cool for you to adapt and play with.



To purchase it for yourself you can find it here
