Happiness Is Cross Stitching

Knitting, crochet, applique, fabric stash and roses!

Hi everyone, here is the latest stitching on Santa's Village, I have not been stitching this because for the moment I am not in the mood for cross stitching, can you believe that!

However, I am in the mood for knitting, having a go at crochet and a little bit of mug rug making.

Beautiful exchange received from Carol.

Embroidered silk covered needlework box with matching strawberry scissor fob, needlebook, pincushion embroidered with gold coloured thread on silk fabric

Would you like some cross stitch finishing ideas?

I hope you like my embroidered covered box with accessories, including needlebook, scissor fob and bottle cap pincushion, the box was supposed to be part of an exchange but I got glue on the fabric and it shows so I decided to start again and make something else, of course I made sure on the next project that I did not get glue everywhere!

I used DMC thread number 833 in this design, there are swarovski crystals on the scissor fob and I have put a small butterfly closing on the needlebook.

Hi everyone, here is my latest stitching design that I have been working on, I have made it into a small pouch for stitching supplies or it could be used as a small gift. I will have the stitchery pattern available to download on my next Freebie Friday post. I have also designed a shoe that can be cross stitched and both patterns will be available later this week together with some shoe gift tags.
