Cross-Stitcher Project

I bought the latest issue of Cross Stitcher today and in it was a project on ribbon roses. I didn't have any ribbon 4mm or less in width and I noticed that they also suggested using cross-stitch floss. So, I gave it a go, which made me then think of ways to expand on it and make a picture. I am so pleased with the end result that it is going to be a picture for the TA in Max's class who has spent a huge amount of time with him this year.

The embroidery was so quick to do and would look as beautiful with just the roses, put onto a card. I am definitely going to investigate this avenue more...

'Thank You' Card

This is one of the cards that I am making for Max to send to people who sent him a Christmas present. I need to make 4 more and photograph the other one I have already made. Then, I have to get him to actually WRITE them! They should get them in July then...

Thank You DaisyChain

Just a quick post to say thanks to DaisyChain Designs for her tutorial on how to do wrapped loops. I have been trying to do them for ages - she sent me the instructions last week and now I can. I am just waiting for my camera battery to charge before taking some pictures. The ones I did last night are not perfect, but all good things require practise.

If you want the free tutorial for yourself, go to http://www.daisychainjewellery.co.uk and put it in your basket.

Pictures to come!

Thanks Mum

See my earlier post for the reasons.
