A Castle In The Sky & Bird In The Trees!

Image
Art Nouveau Bird I haven't shared this project yet but started it months ago and have been working on it between the HAED's.  I wanted a small project to take to an appointment where there was going to be a long waiting time, in order to have something to distract me and keep me occupied!  The pattern is by Stitching Land and it's called "Art Nouveau Bird".  Stitching Land have a website which is where I purchased this pattern but they also have an Etsy Store under the same name.  Their website is:  https://stitchingland.store/  . The Art Nouveau styled patterns are gorgeous!  Don't look if you don't want any new starts! 😉   I'm stitching this on a piece of leftover Bellana I had floating around,  2 over 1 full cross.  This is what it will look like finished: Here are some progress pics:  It's currently 33.20 percent done, with 5881 stitches complete:   Iris Keeper of the Rainbow I also forgot to post my progress on Iris h...

Cat Embroidery!

Image
Cat Embroidery Kit This is my first attempt at embroidery from a small kit I was gifted: I really enjoyed doing the lazy daisy stitch!   As usual I couldn't resist making changes to some of the colours. I removed the white in the basket for an orange and added an extra pink on the flowers. Happy Stitching! xxx

Mandala Bird Finish!

Image
Mandala Bird Here is my stitching on Mandala Bird by Awesome Pattern Studio. T his is the mock-up with the original pattern colours: I changed quite a few of the colours to suit the intended recipient and give a slightly different interpretation to the original pattern. I removed the white background but kept one row of white stitches around the bird to highlight him. I also added one metallic gold stitch on the eye of the bird to tie in the metallic lettering I charted and added (the lettering is not shown here as it has the recipients information added).    It’s stitched on 18 count Aida 2 over 1 full cross and was such a fun stitch!     Here is my finish on Awesome Pattern Studio Mandala Bird. Happy Easter and Happy Stitching! xxx
