Winter!

 I think this is pretty adorable! It is another tiny stitch-along from Armada Designs, and obviously it is Winter. Just like with Fall, I didn't stitch it during the actual stitch-along time. I don't think I even knew about it then, but after doing the Christmas stitch-along a couple of years ago, I hunted up all the tiny stitch-alongs by the designer and have sloooowly been working on them.

I still need to decide on paint colors for the hoops for this one and Fall, so they're not truly completely done yet, but the stitching is definitely done!

It's done!

My new portable project got finished already! This is the tiny Fall stitchalong from Armada Designs. I started it I don't know when, then put it away from apparently quite some time, and recently pulled it out. This is what happens when you need a project for the hockey rink.

 I still need to paint the embroidery hoop before I can frame it, but I'm excited about having this one (mostly!) done! And still debating removing the steam and re-stitching it with a lighter grey.....

Next up? Winter! And we have three games this Saturday, so we'll see how far I get!

New Portable Project

A few years ago, I stumbled upon a free tiny Christmas stitch-along from Armada Designs, and I really enjoyed stitching it. So I bought all of their other tiny stitch-along patterns, none of which I have completed, despite good intentions. But after I finished my Wonder Woman bookmark, I needed to find my next portable project. So I pulled out Fall! I had actually started it awhile back, but then put it away for who knows what reasons. Here is my current state of affairs. I'm having fun with it and look forward to finishing it finally.

 

A couple of updates

So these have both been seen previously, but not in their final form.  This Dr Who cross stitch was seen on oatmeal and framed with a painted hoop, but I had made a second version on blue, and this was put into an IKEA frame.  I like how it turned out as well.

And the tiny Christmas stitch-a-long was last seen finished, but waiting on the embroidery hoop frame.  I finished painting it red, added coats of poly clear coat, and voila!  I love how it looks in the hoop, and it's ready to be hung next Christmas.
