Almost done

I am even closer to the finish line than this picture shows, but I haven't got a more recent picture, so I am waiting until I am actually finished. I am expecting to be finished today.

Can you see the lorry?

My boyfriend saw a lorry. On Friday, mind you, so I have gotten a little farther, but he sees the white part beneath the trees and the big blue part as the part that you keep the goods in (I forget what it's called), and the brown part as the ground. Real Rorschach this XP

I hate making mistakes





Sorry 'bout the frame and crooked picture, but I just realized that the entire brick wall around the edge was supposed to be stitched in a single strand. Oh, well. Artistic freedom, right?

L has a very unartistic eye


L couldn't tell what this is! O.o
I can! I think she might be able to now, it's becoming pretty apparent. I think that maybe it off-centre thou. I hope that I will still have enough fabric to mount it prettily.

Spelling error

You know what I just realized?
I was too quick to write the name of the blog when I was making it, and now there is a spelling error in the URL address=(

Coming along nicely

It's slowly taking form. You can soon see what it is. The single most gratifying part of cross stitching is the part where you can tell what it is going to be^^, Almost there^^,

So I gave up deviantART

So I gave up on deviantART. It's a hassle and there is always the possibility of upsetting the creators of my patterns, because deviantART is basically a site for original art, and lets be honest here, cross stitching isn't really all the original.

So I am creating an arts and crafts blog here.
I am gonna start of by posting pictures of 3 of my 4 current projects. (Or rather 9 if you count the kabuki dolls that I am going to tell you about in more detail later^^,)

So here they are^^,

This is the wedding present that I am making for cousin. It will be late, but it has taken me a couple of months now, so I hope they will be happy. I am hoping to be done by Christmas^^,
It's a pattern by some artist I cannot remember the name of, but I bought it as a kit from DMC.

Next is the Christmas present I am making for my Grandmother^^,
This is also a kit. It might be by DMC, or it might be by someone else.

This last one is just a picture of the canvas and most of the floss for a present I am making for my friend Vilje^^,
