Sun Sea and Sand Summer Project 1

Hello,

Here is a little update of my summer holiday project.

As you can see I have not stitched a lot.

I was busy with my online course "Principles of

 Team Leading" for my new job.

I hope to finish this course in 2 weeks….

and than I have time to stitch evveryday!!!!!!!

It looks so that this summer project is more an autumn project.

Kiss to everyone

Sonja

P.S. Do you have a summer project?

Sun Sea and Sand - Summer Project

Hello everyone,

This is a photo of my new summer project.

It is designed by Emma Congdon.

My favourite cross stitch designer.

You can find the chart in Cross Stitch Crazy or 

with a little bit of luck on eBay uk.

Sending you lots of sunshine from  the Belgium seaside.

Good Vibes Only Kit

I stitched a little Emma Congdon kit

(free cover gift Cross Stitch Crazy 242).

I am not sure how to frame it.

Have a lovely day

We're not getting old we're getting awesome

We're not getting old we're getting awesome - 

this is a handmade birthday present me. 

Designed by Emma Congdon.

I really love handmade presents - 

it is so much personal than buying somthing!

I stitched it over the Easter Weekend in Bredene (Belgium). 

I framed it in a 7" and decorated with an orange/red 

pompom-garland from Action.

You can find the chart in Emma's summer chart book (Cross Stitch Crazy).

Have a lovely day

Have a nice day

Stay in touch - Part 2

Hello,
Here is an update of my Stay in Touch project.
It is really relaxing to stitch. I have done a mistake with the keybord 

and so I have to pick the heat, the facebook logo....

But that is cross stitching.

Stay in touch - Part 1

Here is a photo of my new project.

Stay in touch designed by Emma Congdon (Cross Sitcher Magazine July 2017).

I stitch it for my Dad's 75. birthday 

(his birthday is in November so I have lots of time for other projects)

Merry X-Mas Kit 1

Yesterday I finished my ALDI X-Mas kit.

I used MADEIRA metallic thread 4014 and 4057 (a free cover gift from 

The World of Cross Stitching issue 261) for the ornaments and leaves.

It was tricky to stitch!!!

Now I have to buy a little 6" (15 cm) hoop and a festive ribbon.

Have a nice day

Merry Christmas Kit

Here are photos of my ALDI cross stitch kit Merry Christmas.

It is a simple but nice design. I have red and green MADEIRA metallic thread

which I will use also for this kit.

Blue Bird

I have stitched a blue bird.

Designed by Anette Eriksson.

I used blue variegated thread.

I am not sure what I do with my bird...

Here is a link about variegated thread:
