I ❤.. cross stitch

 

 

I find cross stitch very therapeutic.. I like the fact that it's pretty straightforward - if you can count, you can cross stitch, that you can do it curled up on the sofa while watching TV and that you can take it along with you to the park, cafe or on holiday..
These are some of my projects from the last year or so, which you might have seen here before..

And now for my to do list.. Some birthday and anniversary gifts, Pretty Little Paris, and the most beautiful Once Upon A Time sampler..

Pretty Little Tokyo

After Pretty Little London, I have just finished Pretty Little Tokyo, just in time for my friend A's birthday to remind her of home..
The pattern is from one of my favourite etsy shops.
Next up, Paris!

Pretty Little London

The one good thing about feeling rubbish is that I get to spend hours on the sofa watching daytime TV and finally finishing this..

I started it last September and it's been a loooong but very enjoyable process and I just love the result! Aren't the colours just perfect? I'm so happy with it!
The pattern is from this cute little Etsy shop. Have a look around.. I love it all!

So.. next up.. Pretty Little Paris? Pretty Little Tokyo?

Cross stitching..

  

It must be about 20 years since I've done any cross stitch! And then the other day I was aimlessly browsing Etsy and happened to see some really sweet cross stitch patterns. I had everything I needed so here we are.. I don't enjoy this as much as I do sewing but then it's something to do while watching TV - soon to be replaced by crochet I'm sure, once I get into it!

Coming soon.. some penguins for a penguin obsessed little Y.
