My Mom is quite the wizard at cross stitching and is even entering her cross stitched Zac Efron cushion she made Siob for, as you might guess, best cross stitched item at the Virginia Show. Seeing as I am incredibly slow on the crochet/ knitting uptake, I have decided that the next few presents I have lined up to make are going to be cross stitched.
Cos I can do that. I just need Mom to help me start it (all that finding the midpoint etc).
Recently she cross stitched cupcakes onto a plain white apron for her friend's daughter Maeve who would always be baking something in preparation for her Junior Cert Home Ec practical when Mom was over. I think it's really pretty, so took a photo of it to post here! I just made her a little card too to go with it.
Next stop: a cross stitched bookmark for a darling dear.
Sidenote: I am more than delighted that my laptop is now completely fixed and I can work so much faster on it!
Thank you Mr. Doug Computer Man for fixing it, you lovely man you.
I hope your day was nothing short of lovely, my dears.
And now I must sleep. x

Your Mum's amazing! I love cross stitch although sometimes I'm not quite sure if I have the patience for it. But the end product is so gorgeous. Does your mum design her own patterns?
ReplyDeleteNo, she just has loads of magazines with heaps of cute patterns! I must ask her if she ever has, though.
ReplyDeleteTomorrow I'm finally starting something cross stitched for a friend, so I should post that soon!:)
