Second half of SAL#2 Christmas ;)


Hello ladies, it is me again…

The second half of SAL#2 Christmas is finished !  I made the snowman on Evenweave 20 count too (4 stitches per 1 cm), but chosen the fabric in red. Therefore I changed the color of the hat to green (which I like), otherwise it becomes invisible. How do you like it?

Wait a while....when it is finished, I will write a story with pictures. And I may make a tutorial, so keep an eye on my blog.



With regards ,
Olga (Olli)

First half of SAL#2 Christmas is ready

Hello ladies, I´m here again....

The first half of SAL#2 Christmas is ready! Now I will start with part 2 - the snowman. As soon as both are finished, I will make towel holders.

I stitch these on Evenwave 20 count (4 stitches per 1 cm), this is on purpose, so that they appear big - for a nicer end result.




With regards ,

Hi . . .

Hello everyone!

A big thank you to Nia for letting me join this wonderful Blog and here is my first contribution . . .


Archie Bear 'Chocolate makes my Clothes Shrink!'
stitched on 28~count natural linen with my choice of DMC threads


My favourite colours are burgundys and creams so Archie's jumper is stitched to match my kitchen colours and I finished it into a small bag which is known, on past occasions, to have the odd bar or two of chocolate inside it (just in case of emergency, you know!)


I'm working on a small Halloween design at the moment which will be part of a giveaway on my blog once it's completed.

Thanks for stopping by
HAPPY STITCHING
