I put it on a pencil holder.

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.

Love Bug Cushion Project Part 5

Yesterday I have finished my love bug.

Now it looks like a Volkswagen Beetle.

As you can see I have done some modifications.

As I mentioned in one of my posts before I stitch on 11 count Aida instead of 12.

I found the Aida fabric holes to big in the screen so I decided to fill them. I stiched windows in the same

colours like the spotlights.

For the wheels I used 4 strands of black thread. I stiched them before in 3 but the white fabric shone through. 

I will also stich the backstich in 2 strands. 

I hope you like my love bug.

Have a nice Sunday

Love Bug Cushion Project Part 1

Last friday I have started with my Love Bug Project!! 

At the moment my VW Beetle looks more like a yellow submarine!

I really like it!!!!!!

I stich on 11 count Aida. Cross Stitcher magazine recommend 

to stitch on 12 count Aida fabric but I had only 11 in my stash.

Have a nice weekend

Hippy Holidays Part 5 / Finished cross stitching

Finally I have finished my Hippy Holiday cross stitch project.

Wow I really like it!!!!!!!!

Before I sew the pillow case I have to sew a pillow.

For that reason I bought 2 white pillow cases and stuffing.

It is a lot of work to do this project but later I can say 100 % handmade with love.

Have a nice weekend

Sonja

Hippy Holidays Part 2

Here are photos of my Hippy Holiday project.

As you can see I have finished some of the vehicles.

Yesterday I have done some of the camper's backstitch because

I had not enough thread for the VW Beetle (DMC 3766 and 597 ).

The magazine says 30 hours for this project. 

I stitched more than 30 hours and nothing is finished.

Have a great weekend,

Sonja

Fishes

For the living room I have stitched 3 little fishes.

Now I have to sew and stuff them.

I will add them to the wooden ones.

I was not happy with the white ones - on a white wall....
