Hello everyone and Happy New Year!

So this pattern is 100% finished. Next step? Take out my sewing machine and create a cushion cover with this beauty.

Now, the problem is, I don't speak sewing machine language and my recently acquired one is already playing tricks on me. I realize now that the hard part about sewing with a sewing machine is detecting the problem and fixing it....and apparently, it can happen a lot!

Am I frustrated? Yes, yes I am.

BTW, this is not the only project I was able to complete since my last post (ages agoooo). I try to post it soon!

Happy stitching,

Limin :)

Hello everyone!

I've been absent, but I was working in some things on the meanwhile.

This was an experience, in fact, my first experience trying to create something that I can use in daily life or something I can offer as a present instead of something you can just hang on the wall.

I can't say it was a success, but I learned a lot from it. Next step? Investing in a sewing machine so little things like this will be easier to do and more "appealing to the eye" :D.

Happy stitching,

Hi everyone,

Just found this video about cross stitch. It's really interesting the information shared by this lovely artist. Cross stitch can be just a hobby and can be more than that, and being into one or another is just fine!

Hi everyone,

Happy Easter! For today’s post, I decided to share my current project. This will serve as the top part of a round pillow cover. It’s the biggest project even started by me! I’m really enjoying the process of stitching this one.

Happy stitching Easter,

Limin :D

Hello everyone,

Long time no see! I already presented this but this time wanted to show what I did to hide the hoop. I like the color of the wood, but I thought with this ribbon around it, it looks more festive. Are you asking yourself why I’m still showing this when it was supposed to be a Christmas gift? Well, you can thank that to the virus. I haven’t been able to visit my family in a while and I don’t see an ending to this situation... Anyway, more finished projects will be shown soon, as well as ongoing ones.

Happy stitching,

Hello everyone,

New update of the Hogwarts House Crest. I think I’ll “finish” it tomorrow. I have one color missing, so I’ll have to wait for the next thread purchase to really finish it.

Hello everybody,

Started the Hufflepuff House Crest in the end of last month. It’s bigger than it looks like and it’s taking definitely more time than I expected, but I’m enjoying stitching it.

I have one color missing (DMC 931), but I’m sure I’ll be able to acquire it soon and finish my project.

The pattern is called “Hufflepuff House Crest”, made by Colleen Carrington. You can find it here: https://www.theworldinstitches.co.uk/blogs/blog/free-harry-potter-house-crest-cross-stitch-charts?page=2

Happy stitching,

Hello everybody,

So, I was supposed to post this in January but...I didn’t...Anyway, who never posted anything related to Christmas in the middle of the year? A good Christmas related post is always good to make us remember the best holiday of the year (in my humble opinion).

This one if for my mother, who I haven’t seen for almost a year, thanks to the Corona virus. I hope to see her soon.

The pattern is from DMC and it’s called Scandinavian Fir Tree. You can find it here: https://www.dmc.com/uk/scandinavian-fir-tree-pattern-9009840.html

It was the first time I worked with Mouliné Étoile and I found it harder to work with. It was not impossible, but it definitely gave me some headaches along the process. Despite that, I think the finished result is beautiful and I’m happy with it.

Another thing I consider annoying is the fact that my french knots are dreadful, I guess a little more practice wouldn’t hurt.

It’s all for today!

Happy stitching,

Limin :)

Hello everyone!

Some late Christmas present content share! I made the dragon to the stepfather of my boyfriend and the book marker to my boyfriend’s mother. They were happy about it, specially about the dragon! I have to say that I love the dragon as well.

Sorry about the photos, I didn’t have the time to take them during the day and I had to do it quickly before they took it away.

The dragon is part of the pattern called “Cherry Blossom Trio” by Colleen Carrington, however I chaged the colors to give it a more chinese vibe.

The book marker comes from a pattern provided by DMC, you can find it here: https://www.dmc.com/fr/point-de-marque-44-diagramme-point-de-croix-9004366.html

Hello everyone,

Made some name tags for Christmas and the sister of my boyfriend sent me the photos. I did them in a hurry, so next time I’ll start to prepare Christmas season in advance.

Happy stitching,

Hi everybody,

Finished this Link pattern the day before yesterday. I will this as a present to my boyfriend’s brother. We think he will enjoy it very much!

You may notice that there is some color patches or darker green. This was a mistake, I mixed some colors on a previous project and I just realized there was a difference when the project was more than a half finished, so I’m just going with it...It’s not as noticeable as it looks like. Lesson learned, I’ll have to pay more attention to where I put my threads. 

Also, I started a new project already. I’m working in the Christmas gift for my boyfriend. Can’t tell or show because he spies on me here on Tumblr, so I’ll show it after the 25th.

By the way, you can find this pattern here: https://crossstitchquest.net/2018/10/01/free-link-cross-stitch-pattern-legend-of-zelda/

Hi everybody,

Finished this one last month. In probably a week I’ll send it to a friend of mine that is currently in Qatar. She is an air hostess, and since this year things have been crazy because of the pandemic, she will not be able to return home for Christmas. I decided to send her a little something and this was the outcome.

Hi everybody,

Surprise, surprise! One of the websites I use to buy threads from did a pretty good deal for the Black Friday and I took advantage of the opportunity. I was not thinking about buying new supplies until January, so now I have a few projects in line and hopefully I won’t need anything soon.

Besides all the new colors (and the blue I needed to finish my parrot, YAY!), I also bought a pack of bobbins to keep everything in good order and two more Aida fabrics. Bought one in the color blue sky and the other one in soft pink with some glitter, just perfect for upcoming Christmas projects (hopefully).

Plus, I bought my first Mouliné Étoile in white. It's very beautiful, can’t wait to use it!

That’s it for today’s post.

Happy stitching,

Limin ;)
