Easter Inspiration

I know it's a little early but for all you hardcore crafters you know it's good to be ahead of the festive holidays!   There are lots of projects you can do with the kids egg painting, easter bonnet parade, planning the easter egg hunt and of course eating all the yummy chocolate, but we must remember the religious significance of this holiday lets not let it be forgotten!!!

Cross Stitch gifts!

I got this in my favorite cross stitch mag last August as a free gift! and I have only picked it up to do it in the last month and this is the finished result!!! I really enjoyed stitching this despite all of the half stitches, beautiful colours and a pleasure to stitch this will be one of many handmade Christmas gifts for my family this year (:

This was also in the same issue of my Cross Stitcher mag as you had two free gifts to choose from I chose the home sweet home one but went out last week to get the threads to stitch this lovely tattoo style swallow and he only took 2 days to stitch, this is also a Christmas gift all i need to do is buy the frames (:

Owl Cross Stitch card

I got this as a free gift in my favorite Cross Stitch Magazine (Cross Stitcher)  & I just had to stitch him, ( I don't know what it is with me and owls lately!!!)  took me approximately 4-5 hours  with all the messing about i did in between but the end result is perfect he will go to a good home and brighten someones day up!

Cross Stitch Cards

Made these cards when we were having technical difficulties :(  but as we are back online I can show you all what I have been up to, made these cards lovely as a keepsake for the close family members and friends.

Cross Stitch Sampler Mini Heart

This is a pinkeep that features a Quaker motif sampler stitched in a rustic red color. I stitched this on 16 count Ivory Aida with DMC floss. I lightly coffee stained it to give it an aged look.
