Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them

Oh, it was sooo good to be back in the magical world JK Rowling.
Went to the premiere screening and atmosphere was just amazing.
And film... absolutely must see. :-))

And before I see it again (and again and again... :-))) )...



Weeping Angels

Hello! Haven't been stitching much lately. Even though I have free time, days just seems to disappear. I can't believe it's nearly December! I need to get my stitching bug back and finish few more things before this year ends!

New start and a bit of a progress.
Completely selfish project - for my own wall.
Phoenix rising gonna have to wait till my Christmas break :-)

The Munsters

*humming the theme song* :-)

Because every evening it's Halloween at the Munsters :-)




Stardust aida 14ct
Pattern from Cloudsfactory

Phoenix rising

Being sick really sucks, but at least I had time to make a bit of a progress on my phoenix rising project. Gave up on using a frame. This aida is quite stiff, so it didn't sit right in it, it feels strange, but so far it's not bad!
I can't believe how many hours I already spent on this project and looks like there is no progress at all! 






Aida 14ct
Pattern from the book -  Magical Cross Stitch - found it in a local charity shop.

Halloween pattern in progress

Because who doesn't love The Munsters?! :-)

Christmas pattern

First sign of Christmas coming - in new issue of The World of Cross Stitching magazine! 


Probably it's a good idea to start early, last year I started to think about Christmas decorations in December and I didn't have enough time to finish any of them! 😄

WIP

Corner done, seems like I haven't done much, but actually I spend quite a few hours at it.
It will take a while for this phoenix to rise 😄


Pattern 'Phoenix rising' from the book - 'Magical Cross Stitch' - found in a local charity shop.

Deathly hallows earrings

First think I made from the pendants I've got a week ago - a pair of earrings for myself :-)
I really like them, so simple. 


Pendants from eBay, cost: around 50 pence for 30. Ordered from China, so took a while to arrive, but I didn't mind the wait. Have a feeling that I am gonna make more of them as so many people liked them :-)

New xstitching companion

Until now I have used my phone to follow the patterns. It wasn't a great as the screen on my phone is tiny. Also it was very challenging as my phone got really slow lately. Things just got more serious :-) I am poor now, but definetely happy with my new purchase.

eBay finds

 That is what happens when you are bored and you go on eBay. Of course I really needed all of them :))
Gonna try and use them in some projects. I will keep you posted.





Preparation for a new project

Phoenix rising!
Can't wait to properly start!




Native American motifs


Made today another hoop with Native American motifs from one of the old Cross Stitch Crazy Magazines. I know it's wonky. I tried to readjust aida on the hoop, but that's the best I could do 😩
