My Fave Hobby ~ Cross Stitch

Here is my WIP on DOPEY! I started this one sometime last year.

I just finished letter S by S. Fenech OMG i just can't believe it. This only took me over 2 months. I am so pleased with it. Just have to wash it and iron it. I have a frame for it too ;). Chart - Letter S Designer - S Fenech Fabric - 18ct Aida Fabric From - A lady that sells fabric in NZ Fabric Colour - White Floss By - DMC Floss Used - 15 colours Needle Used - Gold Needle size 24 Date Started - 24/04/09 Finished Started - 29/06/09

Woohoo i have almost finished Letter S :D

Do you lick your floss before you thread it, i do and i am sure many other cross stitcher's do as well :P

Here is Letter S again.

Here is another update on Letter S. I think after this i will try and finish all my other WIP's i have before i start another HAED. This will be the first HAED i have started and finished!

Well here is the latest update on letter S.

I love her work. Am thinking when i finish Letter S i may start one of her's. I like SHH Now from her. And the good thing about it is it only has 13 colours :D Don't really like the charts that have 90 colours. Also when i do this one, i would leave the background out.

Dragon Whimsy Guardian Oh i just love X's & Oh's charts. Mostly the dragon ones. I have many of them from X's & Oh's :) And i have just ordered the new one out! DRAGON WHIMSY. Then i did a silly thing and looked on their site and saw they have ANOTHER DRAGON one out! And i have to have this one as well lol. So will order that one soon as i can :D

Here is another update for Letter S. Think i will be finishing this soon :) SO can't wait!! As this is all i have been doing. I still have other WIPs to do some day lol. I was able to buy a frame for this too :D And it only cost $8.
