I have decided that this blog will be dedicated solely to my cross stitch, cross stitch designs that I see that I like and anything else that I see that is stunning, beautiful or just plain fantastic. I have been stitching since I was little but I had a huge break from it and took it back up again about four years ago when I felt that I just needed to do something creative again. I've done quite a few cards and small projects that I have framed but I am now doing my first big project! I predict that it will take me a couple of years to finish as it is 45 by 79cm. There is 25 pages of design and over 170,000 stitches! You'll find a picture on here but it is basically all of the classic (older) Disney characters in a stain glass window pattern. I hope you enjoy the blog.

Before all the backstitch. Hate half stitches but I suppose they don't look bad

a friend *stabs me in the kidney and empties my bank account* me: I can’t believe you would do this! I thought you cared about me! me a few days later: I apologize for shouting at you and I think I definitely need to recognize the part I played in this situation cos it’s not all on you. Anyways I think we can work past this.

Today's progress

I haven't done anything cross stitch related in months - or at least nothing with any enthusiasm. But with Christmas coming up I bought a set of Christmas decorations by Dimensions and I'm really enjoying it. I'll post updates as I go.

2 pups down, 1 to go, plus the border. I love the colors and I don’t mind all the color changes and the beading, I don’t get bored with it that way!

[indigoxstitcher]

Love this!

Not really done much cross-stitch for a good few months now :( kinda sad but I am so busy with work and PhD stuff it's crazy.

30for30crafting

Is anyone interested in doing a 30for30 in the month of May? I’ve not been able to touch my projects since March and I really need to get a move on.

Not official anything, just for fun! Do 30 mins of crafting a day for 30 days! Take pics and post your progress and see how far you can get by the end of the month! Since May has 31 days, you can take one cheat day if you like, or power through for a 31/30 goal. Any project is ok!

Reblog if you wanna participate I guess. I’m gonna use the same tag as last year: #30for30crafting

[indigoxstitcher]

Would love to do this! Will have to start on the 3rd though as I'm away for May bank holiday and planning to be drunk for most of it.

Sorry for not posting anything lately guys. I am not doing much cross stitch lately as I have started my PhD, but I have done two birth samplers for a relative and will be able to finish them with the names soon so hopefully something to see then!
