Best Wishes

Instead of making a card

I cross-stitched a cupcake design

and framed it.

Wise Owl

Cross stitching is a kind of therapy.

Relaxing & Calming 

(unless the thread is tangled)

and

Rewarding 

(when you see the picture appear).

I adapted the original pattern

with my own colour choices.

I'm very happy with the result

and so was the new owner.

Old Favourite Pattern

I have two old patterns that were published in a TV magazine over more than two decades ago.

The timeless (or shall I say re-occurring) simple design made me treassure the original page of the magazine and having back up copies in all kind of formats thanks to our digitale age.

You can imagine that I've used the mill and the farmer's wife pattern in various of my projects.

<--- Here on the left you can see one of the pot holders.

Since there is a natural limitation on how many pot holders one can use at a time I took the same pattern for a cross stitch mounted in a picture frame.

It makes a nice matching accessory for the kitchen wall.

Gone To The Beach

Cross-stitched keyring pendant

Stitched Bear

I do like cross stitching.

It just takes quite some time though and you need good eye sight.

There are a lots of adorable designs available

and I'm sure I start a new one soon.
