lots to share

I've got some updates for you all :).  I know it's been a long time.  I'm just finding it hard to make some time available for blogger.  I do regular updates on Facebook and Instagram, straight from the phone. (links to be found on the right if you want to follow me there).

So about crochet (cross stitch, see below):

pink bunny, made with leftover Catania cotton on hook 2,5

free pattern by Magoo

Chicken made with Catania cotton on hook 2,5

pattern by Woolytoons crochet, I got it from a book

Yoshi, made with Phildar Cotton 3 and hook 2.5 for the head and 3.5 for the rest

free pattern when taking part in the Echtstudio Crochet a Long on Facebook

As for cross stitching:

January-June on the Frosted Pumpkin Stitchery SAL

Solo the cat, a kit by Anchor.  I changed the aida for evenweave.  All these backstitches on aida would have been a real pain.

Wherefore art thou SAL by Casa Cenina. Pattern obviously by Nora Corbett

stitched with DMC floss and lots of mill hill beads

So curently I haven't got any more crochet planned (but things can always change quickly).  I'm finally adding the beads to my January Garnet Fairy (also by Nora Corbett).  I finally found the right thread to use. I'm also working on July and August of the Pumpkin Passport SAL and I've got one of Nora Corbett's red ladies planned when I've finished the above :).

Busy Busy Busy :)

'till next time!

I've been a bit quiet lately...

I must admit, I've failed to keep you all informed of my creative musings... I didn't feel like I had much to share in the last two months... not that I haven't been busy... not at all :)

Firt of all, I want to wish all my readers a very happy 2016.  I wish that all of your dreams may come true.  I also wish you a lot of stash ;)

So what happened... I've finally finished European Bistro by Dimensions.  My mum is very happy with the result, we will go frame shopping somewhere in February.

Kit by Dimensions - European Bistro

After I finished this one, it must have taken me about 3 years I think (I've been doing other projects as well) I took out another WIP.  Christmas stockings, also by Dimensions.  They stitch up very fast I must admit.  Only the cording, bows etc, I will do at the end, so I'm sure I don't run out of threads.

Christmas (or my brother) brought me 2 new crocheting books, and as a thank you to my brother, I told him he could choose one pattern for me to make.  below the result.

Meet Kay Crocodile by Woolytoons

I've also had a pending order I needed to finish, a colorful family of mice :)
 

Free pattern by Stip en Haak

So I guess the new year started very well, I hope there are a lot of creative new challenges coming my way in the next year, I've got some projects I'm looking forward to, more about that in a next post.

Take care, stay safe and I hope to hear from you all soon.
