November IHSW

Hello Everyone!

I hope you all had a good productive weekend.

Mine turned out to be a bit more experimental than I would have liked.

I stitched one card - which took longer than imagined and I havent made it into a card yet!

Then I played with some plastic canvas and eventually made two plastic canvas ornaments to hang in cards - on 14 count. They came out 'ok' but not as well as I would have liked.  I have some photos but I havent finished the cards yet.

So not too bad as I spent a lot of time stitching but slightly disappointed with the end results.

On 18ct

Pictures are blurry - oops!

One side of a Nativity tissue box

Standing card



Again blurry - will have to retake them

hmmm - undecided


I am about to check out how everyone else got on.....I am well prepared for stitching envy and lots of inspiration.

    I think they look great! Better to experiment in November than to jump full stop in December!

    Those projects are so cute! I love the snowman design- he reminds me a little of a Hello Kitty sort of character- and the nativity scene box panel is really nice looking! Good luck with all of your holiday stitching!

Whats 11 months between friends?

Hey there

I have spent a fair bit of the year on instagram, just because I try to avoid wittering on, but I miss this blog and although I need to tidy it up...it is one if the things I want to focus on more in 2020.

So lets get up to date...

Some stitchy finishes this year....

This was completely new - a pattern by Durene Jones - the idea is that it is a FFO stocking. It was a quick stitch and I loved all of it except stitching the white.

This was a new start and a finish this year, its Bothy Threads row of dinosaurs - i had some issues with this and made some design changes. It also needs to be fully finished along with the rest.

This was in a magazine and I want to say it was designed by Emma Congdon...? when FFO it should be an envelope to put your childs letters to santa in.

This was stitched for Halloween. It was taken from a magazine and when FFO'd is a 3D monster mansion. The original colours were greens and I made other changes. Hopefully, I will get some time to write the…

10 things about stitching with plastic canvas (30)

Okay so that is a ridiculously long title, not catchy at all, but I wanted to be clear...hehehe...
**I changed the name of the post! lol Nothing lasts forever...but trust me...it was really long!**
So this is it! My final list post...yes, yes, I took my time but its here!
Its actually a combination post, because whilst stitching this weekend my brain was whirring away and thinking about the task in hand and I made some notes in my mind as to what I would write in my next blog post. Well, after I had been mentally wittering away it did occur to me that I was liable to be accused of teaching my grandmother to suck eggs unless I made a point of stating that it really is aimed at beginners. However, those cross stitch lifers who so very kindly comment on my posts may have some extra tips too and feel free to add them.
So less of the waffling....but before I start the list...a little more waffling....
My last blog post was about the Christmas Ornie SAL that I have joined and will be parti…
