Another Chandelier WIP

I have another WIP on my Chandelier piece to show off.  I would have liked to have finished the border, but I ran out of the floss.  It's going to take a while to get it since it takes a "special" trip to my local cross-stitch shop to get.  I know I could get it online, but I don't want to.  I'm a little weird like that.

Now for patterns.  It's a hoge poge this week.

Happy Stitching!!

Chandelier WIP

I know I haven't posted a Chandelier WIP in a while.  The reason for this is that I'm working white on white and it doesn't show very well in pictures.  However, I am now done with the white and have been working diligently with other colors that will help the white pop out a little better.

I have some summer inspired patterns for you all this post.

That is all for now.  Happy Stitching!!

The Geek In Me

I recently got a new vehicle and I decided I wanted to "geek it out", so to speak.  So I first got decals and a bumper sticker.  Then, I made a Master Sword hanging thing for the rear view mirror.  Then I bought seat covers and stitched Zelda stuff and the headrest covers.  The pictures are self explanatory.

I also finished my last entry for the June/July 2013.  It's the Hyrule Crest.  I'm not as happy with it as I initially was when I was planning it out, but it's still okay.  I worked it out so that it correlates with the spiritual stones and sage medallions.  I had to be a bit creative with a few of them.

No patterns this time.  Happy Stitching!!

Geeky Finishes and Half a WIP Done

I have the top half of the Chandelier piece done now. Well, more than half at this point. I haven't taken any recent pictures of it, yet.

I also have two pieces done for the current Sprite Stitch challenge. The challenge was to take the given outlines of video game logos and color them in like a coloring book.  It's a two month challenge and I'm not sure if I'm going to do another one or not.  I choose to stitch the Kingdom Hearts logo and one of the Zelda logos.

I have a few patterns for you all, now.  It's a little early, but I decided to post Christmas ornaments.

That is all for now.  Happy Stitching!!

Celtic Noel Finished and a WIP on the Chandelier Piece

I apologize for the long hiatus.  The only excuse I can give is that I lost a touch of steam back in January after completing the Midna piece and have only just recently found the motivation to stitch again.  Don't get me wrong, I've been keeping busy with work, car troubles, Skyrim, and my new-found elation with losing weight (15 pounds!!), but those things don't seem to be a good enough excuse.  So I am back, for the time being.

As noted, I finally finished Celtic Noel, to my mother's delight.  I know it's  few months late, but better late than never.  I finished the beading on it Monday, May 13th, 2013.  I have provided detail shots of the beading.  Hope you enjoy!

This next photo is a WIP shot of the Chandelier piece.

I decided to post some Hello Kitty patterns this time.  I find them to be quite cute.

 And I am done for this post!  It's good to be stitching again and I hope to post again soon. Happy Stitching!!

Little Gifts

I made a bunch of little gifts for some of the people I work with.  It took a while to think of something creative for each person and then make a pattern for each person, but they all turned out all right.  I plan on giving these gifts on Valentine's day.  It's going to be a long week, but I'll be glad to see their faces when I give them out.  I made nine gifts in all.  They're all small and simple to make it easy on me.

Double sided key chain

Also double-sided.

A pin.

I had fun making them.  The only dilemma was the hoop.  I bought online but they didn't come with a backing so I had to improvise. I made a back with cardboard from an old shoe box I had lying around.  I kind of had to do it freehand, which explains the odd shape of some of the framed items.

Now for patterns.  Same type of deal as last posts patterns.

With that I am out.  Happy Stitching!!
