*~*~*

I just finished another cross stich from a pattern I purchased from NightSpiritStudio.

This one is for a friend of DramaQueen who is into spirits, ghosts, gothic things and such.

Now that I see the finished product in my bathroom, I may have to stitch one up for myself as well - I'm really liking it.

Especially when the lights are out...

*~*~*

I am working on a cross-stitch for my oldest daughter's birthday.

It's called "Unexpected Visitors" from NightSpiritStudio on Etsy.

The X-Files is one of her favorite shows - hence why we have dogs named Mulder and Scully!

Stitched in Time (224/365)

“Take your needle, my child, and work at your pattern; it will come out a rose by and by.  Life is like that - one stitch at a time taken patiently and the pattern will come out all right like the embroidery.”

Well, I finished!  It turned out a lot cuter than I expected it too.  Right now, I have it hanging in a 10” embroidery hoop on my kitchen wall.  The colors go great with my orange kitchen and I am digging the Scandinavian vibe.  Now, what should be my next crafty goodness?

Well, here is the progress I have made on my cross-stitching.  It has been stalled a little by that pesky housework and those whiney children, but I think I’ve been pretty successful in ignoring those two impediments. *wink*  The design is actually turning out a lot brighter and nicer than the picture in the book.  I decided to use 3 strands of floss vs. the 2 strands normally recommended for the Aida 14 cloth I’m using for the canvas.  Yeah, I’m a rebel.
