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. 

Wip

Yea, it will take me a while to finish it :-)

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 😩 

Love picking threads for new projects

;-)

Car boot sales

Gotta love car boot sales, got all those crafty goods for 50 pence!
