Kell Posted February 5, 2010 Posted February 5, 2010 That is a gorgeous design. I'm sure your FIL is going to love it. Quote
Kell Posted February 9, 2010 Posted February 9, 2010 I finished stitching this little needle book today for an exchange I'm hosting: Quote
Kell Posted February 9, 2010 Posted February 9, 2010 Well, I don't think I'm going to get much reading time for the next wee while, as a friend has asked me to design and make two jingle cubes for the new twin baby girls of another of her friends. I'm delighted she liked the ones I made for Xan and his little buddy so much as to ask me to make them for her friend. Now I just have to get my sktch book out and work out the designs I'll use, then block them. Then I can choose my materials and start stitching! Quote
Inver Posted February 9, 2010 Posted February 9, 2010 Wow Kate that looks like a big project...hope you manage to get it stitched in time. Quote
Kell Posted February 13, 2010 Posted February 13, 2010 I've stitched a Valentine's Day card for Dale. Quote
Chrissy Posted February 13, 2010 Posted February 13, 2010 That is utterly and completely gorgeous Kell. Quote
Inver Posted February 13, 2010 Posted February 13, 2010 Beautiful....I'm sure he will appreciate it Kell.....he knows how hard you work on all your stitchy projects Quote
Kate Posted February 14, 2010 Posted February 14, 2010 That looks lovely Kell. Here is a little update of my work: Quote
Kell Posted February 14, 2010 Posted February 14, 2010 I can hardly wait to see this piece finished - I adore Johnny Depp! Quote
Kell Posted February 17, 2010 Posted February 17, 2010 I started stitching a bit more on Charlie's Falling Star again last night. I got about half of his hair stitched, along with a litle of his collar, so I've gone from this: To this (close-up of the area I stitched last night): It's so lovely to see Charlie finally making an appearance at his window.

Kell Posted February 17, 2010 Posted February 17, 2010 A friend who is up visiting from Swindon this week has her birthday next week, so I stitched this little keyring for her this morning while Xan had a nap. It's her initial and her zodiac sign. I had already stitched her birthday card: She really loves cross stitched stuff, so I know she'll appreciate both these items (she has a dragon silhouette I designed and stitched for a competition last year framed with our wedding photograph!).

Chrissy Posted February 17, 2010 Posted February 17, 2010 Gorgeous Kell. Lucky friend! How could she not be delighted? Quote
Kell Posted February 17, 2010 Posted February 17, 2010 I'm so tired tonight that I've had to stop stitching a lot earlier than I usually would. However, I've finished stitching Charlie's head (that part was no-count because I only had to fill in the area with one colour). Before I go to bed, here's Charlie. Till tomorrow... Quote
lexiepiper Posted February 18, 2010 Author Posted February 18, 2010 It's looking fantastic Kell Quote
Kell Posted February 18, 2010 Posted February 18, 2010 Thanks, Lexie. I started stitching Charlie's clothes tonight, so here's where I'm leaving off till tomorrow night: Quote
Kell Posted February 18, 2010 Posted February 18, 2010 Thanks, Kate. He's an absolute joy to stitch. Quote
Lilywhite Posted February 19, 2010 Posted February 19, 2010 I have another request for a bookmark! They are so popular I don't suppose anyone knows where I can get my hands on a small picture of a hockey player/hockey theme to fit a bookmark? I'm not having much luck browsing the web. Quote
Kell Posted February 19, 2010 Posted February 19, 2010 After 2 hours of stitchy time, here's where I got up to with Charlie tonight: I'm also going to to be taking part in a blackwork exchange, so I'll be stitching a bookmark for that soon - another one for the BIG Bookmark SAL! On top of all that, I'm stitching two jingle cubes for a friend who wants to give them as gifts to twin baby girls. I'll just post pics of them when they're finished though. Quote
Shin Posted February 20, 2010 Posted February 20, 2010 Oh cross stitch thread. I am currently doing a birth sampler for my niece however, I must get a move on as she is 6 months old. By the time she gets it she will be going to school. I started doing cross stitch about 12 years ago and then started it up again last year. My project is the birth sampler for my niece but it will be a while before I get through that (well there is a good bit done) as I also have a card making project on the go too. I am making wedding stationery. I will post picture of what i have done so far. Quote
Kell Posted February 20, 2010 Posted February 20, 2010 I got in another couple of hours of stitchy time tonight on Charlie: Quote

Did you find a pattern? You looking for free or paid? Kell yours is looking good Quote
