My latest two projects:



I loved doing the cardinal one, it looks very textured with different thread counts and half stitches. The Santa is beautiful but I hated doing it, way too much taupe and beige.

Thank you Sunshyne.

I haven't cross stitched in years but am getting the itch to get started again and so found this thread.

Those socks are beautiful Sunshyne!

Kappy, those are mine. I have started another one recently to have ready for this year (doing another as well ) and finished off a few Xmas decorations. I'm going to do about 12 more Xmas decorations all for the end of the year. I think I'll try for all homemade things this year. I say that know with great intentions!lol

What's that old adage? The road to where? is paved with good intentions.

There is a pile of Christmas material sitting in the sewing room that I got for a song after Boxing Day. Wonder how long it will be before it transforms itself into gift bags for next Christmas.LOL

Oh cool! LOL, don't mind me, I'm the type who will see something I like, buy it, take it apart to figure out how it was put together, and then do my own.

Wow, Jasper, you are definitely getting an early start. Those cards are cute. How many do you mail every year?

The material is still sitting in the sewing room, but it has made its way into a lovely basket and is looking much prettier in there.

Dh just glued some eyes on my caterpillar amigumuri, and the octopus is balancing on 5 tentacles. Hopefully it will have all octo by bedtime. Does any of this count?

LOL Lum. My village is still on the shelf. I started glass painting yesterday. I want to see how difficult it'd be to do the whole peice (I guess around a 12x12 square.)

Combined stitching there is 4 sets, one in each poinsetta, one inthe horn and one in the ribbon. The faint stitching, one strand on the background is all leaves and music notes and looks so nice but it didn't turn out in any of the pics. This took three months, not bad!

Wow, Jasper! I can't believe that only took 3 months! Can I ask how much time a day you estimate you put into them?

I was serious when I said I was getting the itch to XS again. I took up knitting a few years back which took over my time for XS'ing but I decided this this summer that I want to give equal time to both. Last week I xeroxed off 4 patterns for ornaments that I want to do and put them in baggies with linen and thread and now have them next to the knitting basket.

Does anyone else do xmas ornaments? I love doing the ones from the special XS ornament issue that comes out each fall - I think it's from Just Cross Stitch?

Kappy - about three hours a day. I was very diligent with it because I am doing one for her husband and I don't tend to work on them so much once the nice weather hits. His I started the beginning of April, along with a baby blanket and I probably won't get either of them done until at least the end of August. Then I too have some ornaments I am going to do.

Done in time for Xmas. The pictures don't do them justice, specially the black one. The plaid was a lot of work but it turned out great.

Thank you, I wish I could have got a better pic of the black one, it is so cute with the teddy and plaid. He is Scottish so I thought he would get a kick out of it.

Very impressive, Jasper!

I've finished off 2 ornaments so far and have 2 more in the works. I'm really enjoying being back into XS! Anyone else do ornaments?
