Easter Stitching

My second Valentine's Design has been finished, but I can't show it yet as it is on its way overseas to my boyfriend.

I can, however, show you the first of my Easter Stitching.

In keeping with what appears to be a Freebie theme, here's another. This time by Mosey 'n Me.

FREEBIE - Mosey N Me - 'Magic Happens':

Design - Magic Happens

Designer - Mosey 'n Me

(http://www.moseynme.com/free.php)

Fabric - 14 count Ecru

Threads - DMC (as listed in chart)

Black beads for eyes

I'm seriously considering stitching another of the freebies listed on the Mosey 'n Me page, as they look like a lot of fun.

Happy Valentine's Day (almost)

One New Year's Resolution I made this year was to get things stitched in a timely manner. Another was to try and finish off some more of my U.F.O's.

Starting on the first seems easier than tackling the second, however, so in the spirit of things, here is the start of my Valentine's stitching for 2014:

FREEBIE - The Stitcherhood - 2014 Valentine Freebie

Design - 2014 Valentine Freebie

Designer - The Stitcherhood

http://thestitcherhood.blogspot.com/2014/01/blog-post.html

Fabric - 14 Count Ecru

Colours - 3835, 3832, 3816

As is typical of me, I chose to use different DMC colours to the ones suggested (or in this case, one suggested), but I think it came out okay. This is the second freebie I have stitched from this designer, and if I remember correctly, I changed the colours slightly in that one too!

For anyone interested, my other The Stitcherhood freebie can be found here:

My next stitchery will also be a freebie, and will also be of the Valentines flavour. Stay tuned!

Happy New Year

My blog is four years old today, it seems. Four years ago today I started my blog with a 'Happy New Year' cross stitch design (a freebie - check here.). So once again, I wish you a Happy New Year with another freebie New Year's pattern:

FREEBIE - New Year's Eve:

Design - 'Happy New Year'

Designer - iStitch Designs
