  • Almost finished, just have to do all the detail work. Final backstitching and details are my favourite part of an embroidery because it pulls a whole picture together.

  • Complete cornflower blackwork. This represents approximately 50ish hours of work.

  • On the homeward stretch now! Although the outer motif is making me cross-eyed as I stitch it 😵

  • I didn’t take any wip pics of this, but I made up an x-large book pocket with a vintage button to accommodate my larger books. I’m really happy with how lovely the fabrics all look together.

  • I spent a morning making the most awesome whale oven mitt. It even looks like the whales on the fabric!

  • Completed American songbirds cross stitch kit. This is a dimensions standard collection kit & it took approximately 130 hours to complete.

  • So I made a booboo and didn’t take enough photos for my finger escape tutorial. So, I’m having to make a whole new set of paws to finish the tutorial off. Look out for these paws! I’m planning to hold a raffle over on twitter for these in the new year

  • Got all the rosettes into the tail and have cut ‘n’ clipped the rosettes for the other tail half. There’s still some smaller solid spots to sew in after the rosettes, and I think I’ll have to do some fur trimming to really highlight the dark outlines. But looking good so far!
