Wipocalypse - post #3

Just a quick post this month ...

... there are 2 finished cards I can't show you at this moment before they reach their destination ... so just one project that I have worked on last month for now. 'Picture of elegance':

February 2013

and now ...

March 2013

I think for the amount of time I had spare this is quite a progress. Need to find more time for stitching ... as always.

I have also got my belated Birthday present from my lovely sister, over at Cross Stitch Mania:

Isn't it beautiful?!? I now need to find a frame for this. One of my favourite parts of this design is that it has hints of drawing, another of my hobbies.

Till soon,

               

An early post

This is new to me ... actually posting in advance of my schedule. I am so proud already.

It so happens that I am in my local pub trying to download LaTex ... with which I can start writing beautiful pdfs ... if I am lucky to learn the bloody thing... and it still has another 17 minutes to go ... was a total of 1 hour and 40 minutes.

So a post to occupy me ...

This is something I have done as a child ... I personally think it is wonderful. Not only does it combine cross stitch, loops and french knots ... but it also relies on printed fabric, making the work almost 3D.

If I'm not careful I might end up posting everything I have and then being unable to do large projects I am concentrating on at the moment in a week.

Oh dear ...

but either way till next time,

Lija

Belated last weeks post

I hope I will have internet at the house soon ... so I wouldn't have to make excuses for not posting ...

First of all a better photograph of the Iris ...

Then onto a new design ...

This was Mother's Day gift this year. The free kit came along with the World of Cross Stitching magazine issue 175. It was a pleasure to stitch and turned out better than I hoped it would.

It did mean a lazy morning in bed cross stitching. Small kits are good for that ... a sort of a replacement for a book. 

And for this weeks post ...
