Butterfly and Pram
Whoo, I’ve not posted here for a while and that’s mainly because life happened. But I did finish two cross stitch pieces in October, and both of which were gratefully received by friends. I made them both into cards and enjoyed stitching them — and today I realised I’d not posted them here! So here we go… :-)
The amazing thing about this one was that I intuited what to stitch for this particular recipient, a tutor on a course I took in 2008. As it happens, her office is painted in lilacs and she has a lot of butterfly artwork in there! I made this piece into a card for her (as shown) and it was signed by everyone on my course for her. I am so glad that she liked it.
The other piece I stitched was for my wedding stylist, who is expecting a baby. As I don’t know if the babe will be a boy or a girl, I went for this lovely little chart I found as it’s so brightly coloured it can be neutral. I used seed beads instead of French knots to make things easier and give it a bit of texture. Again, it was made into a card.
I’ve not had time to cross stitch anything since. I do have some WIPs and also a couple of knitting items on the needles, but for the moment nothing new to show. Here’s hoping I can spend more time in 2009 doing crafts! :-)
