Happy !
Yes I am happy ! Last night I managed to complete my first Heaven and Earth Design cross stitch. It is called A Pale Comparison and it is stitched 1 over 1 on 25 count aida. Here it is
of course it has got to go to the framers. I put my name and year on the bottom of the piece but my other half thinks that I should have stitched it over my stitching. You know like artists do on paintings but I prefer it like this......what do you think ? What do you do ?
Here is the Dalmatian framed
which I have to say I think looks really fantastic. It is on my son's wall next to the Fox Terrier. I am bidding on a couple of kits from the same range on ebay. Fingers crossed I win them lol.
My good friend Sarah taught me to crochet a while back and she sent me a tutorial on how to do a granny square. Here are my first attempts
Also on Wednesday (my day off from my day job) she taught me how to make these really cute crochet flowers
Sarah now teaches crochet lessons in Norwich and if she can teach me she can teach any-one ! I am going to attempt to make a whole load of these flowers and turn them into a blanket.
Lastly I had a parents evening with my son's teachers. A while back we suspected he may be dyslexic but he has surprised us all and has picked up on his reading by 100%. I was so super proud of him I nearly cried ! !
Well until next time x
Great stitching and well done to your son:)
ReplyDeleteYou must have felt a great sense of achievement when you finished that one! Its looking fantastic! pride of place on the livingroom wall?
ReplyDeletethank-you ladies...yes it will be going on the living room wall some-where x x
ReplyDeleteLovely work. Re. signing your work. I used to just do very small backstitched initials and date in the bottom right but when I finish my "He looked like a peddler" I intend to stitch my name and date, although very faintly.
