This is because I started to work, and even though I still cross stitch whenever I can, the publications with my models in them are getting fewer and far between. I also have less time to spend on the computer, but this morning I`m free (until we go to do some Christmas shopping - Christmas?!? Where did this year go?? ðē), so I thought I`d better review the past few months` crop and add some photos here.</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Issues 327 and 328 of The World of Cross Stitching both have my wee cards as the cover gift: the first one is a lovely wintry wreath designed by Durene Jones, and the latter a thank you card from Emma Congdon:</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGk5vJz6Tp565CKIrOoUREpfXWUU5BNos2JfV7zlxJS3rdVcJsfbNovR-OFwwwQ55HWUSvEGRXYOy_JKQe25008gEug2mQYZgUfF36t8sqHeZQ_KCtz6swqDamvppGm0s63i8eZkC_mjDqZLuLCylAjlZJEMzSpfQjmpAneh6yV_OF5BfCM0htZiaQ/s547/wreath%205,5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="547" data-original-width="537" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGk5vJz6Tp565CKIrOoUREpfXWUU5BNos2JfV7zlxJS3rdVcJsfbNovR-OFwwwQ55HWUSvEGRXYOy_JKQe25008gEug2mQYZgUfF36t8sqHeZQ_KCtz6swqDamvppGm0s63i8eZkC_mjDqZLuLCylAjlZJEMzSpfQjmpAneh6yV_OF5BfCM0htZiaQ/w628-h640/wreath%205,5.jpg" width="628" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7Bc7nxLvdZYDiqeJ6-JHVedbtlb7cRksudHrnsLvBkKijzRAi4UxG3zt81oZezF4KDhn4BC9QsnvH76kQbep1wF_WaHV19EmxVZawtKr-TFRQxWR63cBZHa3vSGqvSO5ZPQ-TEK9qHMyh4uLLUUZUmUTTR3Ol1LToXqlEF2RPRs2v1tN5PAlk0pDi/s1800/312131927_6200860809943170_7670992258023512286_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1800" data-original-width="1800" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7Bc7nxLvdZYDiqeJ6-JHVedbtlb7cRksudHrnsLvBkKijzRAi4UxG3zt81oZezF4KDhn4BC9QsnvH76kQbep1wF_WaHV19EmxVZawtKr-TFRQxWR63cBZHa3vSGqvSO5ZPQ-TEK9qHMyh4uLLUUZUmUTTR3Ol1LToXqlEF2RPRs2v1tN5PAlk0pDi/w640-h640/312131927_6200860809943170_7670992258023512286_n.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgaTUms-Q__O8RWxASGQpmxZ17UZi349QDSGN5ofhLLfSvedZJ9koC8D5A23RDWWSIkZonMry3dhEfayGHrArxAahTPv2wk0YRdm2RKwQX-SSqQy5jADT_GRDvlFXX6E7Z12YkRODmfOHi2rUv3kyRP1dIKngkM1-pBzGkqvr8zLM4lcUiG21q_0KAw/s968/2%20hours.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="968" data-original-width="720" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgaTUms-Q__O8RWxASGQpmxZ17UZi349QDSGN5ofhLLfSvedZJ9koC8D5A23RDWWSIkZonMry3dhEfayGHrArxAahTPv2wk0YRdm2RKwQX-SSqQy5jADT_GRDvlFXX6E7Z12YkRODmfOHi2rUv3kyRP1dIKngkM1-pBzGkqvr8zLM4lcUiG21q_0KAw/w476-h640/2%20hours.jpg" width="476" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7o71BOayXXgpEXsSbvYRtAPjrqutB_x7ET2QRzeIRblWKorOdnAVZ3_Wvi72F0phvHxZ9GFhI2MhK3Gp0vyXnzS4iKw4i11X2dQwOLZDG778e6qME5irs8RMousdopBEZgy7dGcNah94spowHB6KvwjBrEKY5wNEsn1GgH5tsQsDIROKoyXn11eSt/s1280/thumbnail_WOXS328_gift.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1280" data-original-width="1280" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7o71BOayXXgpEXsSbvYRtAPjrqutB_x7ET2QRzeIRblWKorOdnAVZ3_Wvi72F0phvHxZ9GFhI2MhK3Gp0vyXnzS4iKw4i11X2dQwOLZDG778e6qME5irs8RMousdopBEZgy7dGcNah94spowHB6KvwjBrEKY5wNEsn1GgH5tsQsDIROKoyXn11eSt/w640-h640/thumbnail_WOXS328_gift.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">Issue 328 of WOXS also has this gorgeous winter floral composition by Amanda Gregory that took 75 hours to stitch - the magazine says 90, a 20% markup ðĪĢ,which to be fair is probably closer to realistic expectations if someone doesn`t have to chase deadlines like yours truly. But whether you spend 20 hours on it or 200, it will feel like no time at all, because you can finish one section at a time, including the backstitch - I love designs with mini-finishes, they grow so quickly! ð </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

I first had a sciatica flare-up (piriformis syndrome, to be precise) and I couldn`t move for days, then out of the blue, first I got the dreaded lurgy (not covid, the other one that`s like flu) and now my two boys are sick too. ð Luckily, though, I`m well enough now to look after them and just as well because the `holiday` is over, and I thought before I get too absorbed with work again, I`d better post here re. the most recent publications, the first of which is WOXS 322, with Susan Bates`s summer cottage on the cover:</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjU0shUsj4RxhepdIGcg57W-j1Zi8omKx6AUQVxhmd5BOX2wi7EDuMdMNRAnFcj5kIHA3DRNeLi3BkkKqWGc9Gjom47Du5VgSc2kZjUETJugZwdfG-IFNW6FU88VAMFmh_Br-5keJV_5CmCG0byF30R7g_u2pZzX9Hwjr4PS4HnWxWJQAUi5AmTYaBT/s403/286128194_394933939362174_672030799691386583_n.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="403" data-original-width="403" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjU0shUsj4RxhepdIGcg57W-j1Zi8omKx6AUQVxhmd5BOX2wi7EDuMdMNRAnFcj5kIHA3DRNeLi3BkkKqWGc9Gjom47Du5VgSc2kZjUETJugZwdfG-IFNW6FU88VAMFmh_Br-5keJV_5CmCG0byF30R7g_u2pZzX9Hwjr4PS4HnWxWJQAUi5AmTYaBT/w640-h640/286128194_394933939362174_672030799691386583_n.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">This lovely colourful project took 75 hours, and after finishing the XS on Pattern Keeper...</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjr2UclRY79Ul1l1MDHP-YjQoLM4JotkqNtJ0Ox0GyFuW4b29MnOs0XdLr81jkfLLce6qvXZQpy72Db_pDCzorJDNFQCtvkn2xOR2K-OdmjyZgcA7E-DkUhEbq5j4MWR-qbF1U9Wn5Nj2nDCAdDScRMEVJv-fw46Ek6JeX_taKbt34irlNMozILJ8oL/s882/1.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="882" data-original-width="540" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjr2UclRY79Ul1l1MDHP-YjQoLM4JotkqNtJ0Ox0GyFuW4b29MnOs0XdLr81jkfLLce6qvXZQpy72Db_pDCzorJDNFQCtvkn2xOR2K-OdmjyZgcA7E-DkUhEbq5j4MWR-qbF1U9Wn5Nj2nDCAdDScRMEVJv-fw46Ek6JeX_taKbt34irlNMozILJ8oL/w392-h640/1.jpg" width="392" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">...

But I soon realised that not only did these 3 cushions take up a lot of space, there was also the danger of my needles with leftover threads disappearing into the cushion, so I needed another solution. Eventually, I ended up buying some of these numismatic sheets: there are various sizes of pockets, depending on what the coin collector wants to store/display in them; I chose the 12-pocket pages because these are small enough to store just a few lengths of threads but not too small so that my fingers would struggle to get the threads out (plus, the design uses 119 colours, so 10 pages worked out perfectly).</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiT6DfVJkf17JwISjZt2NYwGDBDG2Vy5uFzBC6TgmWDPu2n8g-lyZgBPzd0x5tVtbRqBOmb_JbZw39CYUe2h-tKdXm3QEw1hXV2WAY_4vFPd9H5wgPXaH3RFz9H5YU55pZsDTS5A-3jGOnH4s_9cYJpjt_BTQHu53sdZbriwle_Lt5Rlvh4sn_enPoH/s720/282185187_388608279871641_875532385166974700_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="437" data-original-width="720" height="388" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiT6DfVJkf17JwISjZt2NYwGDBDG2Vy5uFzBC6TgmWDPu2n8g-lyZgBPzd0x5tVtbRqBOmb_JbZw39CYUe2h-tKdXm3QEw1hXV2WAY_4vFPd9H5wgPXaH3RFz9H5YU55pZsDTS5A-3jGOnH4s_9cYJpjt_BTQHu53sdZbriwle_Lt5Rlvh4sn_enPoH/w640-h388/282185187_388608279871641_875532385166974700_n.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">I decided that the easiest (for me) way to find a thread is to group the symbols by shape - I admit, this pic is not the best example, there are easier ones like squares or triangles...

It was a lovely quick project (35 hours, although the mag rounded it up to 50, which sounds more realistic if someone e.g. doesn`t use Pattern Keeper... or doesn`t cross stitch for a living like me, lol). What I mean by `quick` project is that it`s one of those where if you just do the odd colours on the outside first, then you can sit back and relax, load up a dozen or so needles with Blanc and just fill in the middle while watching tv or whatever. ð</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBANyQlSC-4OOlgNx_opEpEP7Kuu4CttnHcsd72KsIesqMCxyleCdf8dpH3ABKPb-sCJk5t7Zl37tl6rHxIVahcZPv3pTiGegGqCzGdnGBtUIrK-E3P2DFCDi7e5q1QZe78xJj3VD7qqVX7k4GotPlhhUZhBcklbKqrygh4kFCZyrbT3trfLryumID/s915/35%20hours.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="915" data-original-width="720" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBANyQlSC-4OOlgNx_opEpEP7Kuu4CttnHcsd72KsIesqMCxyleCdf8dpH3ABKPb-sCJk5t7Zl37tl6rHxIVahcZPv3pTiGegGqCzGdnGBtUIrK-E3P2DFCDi7e5q1QZe78xJj3VD7qqVX7k4GotPlhhUZhBcklbKqrygh4kFCZyrbT3trfLryumID/w504-h640/35%20hours.jpg" width="504" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2Cg1HzY7VPci2TSKTTkEzo-F95UaeAuBUMYz3EJJMgu8OQjN-lhW7KyZrhQgruofTW-qxKggF3F_l4hmBfIIGaEdnXQyxxFBz6ny6_iVKZAzoWKho0lMjlQhYJmI7-1rWgKOujC9oCc6SQv_krxviBsBD5Z19AYnot4Bf8JmrHsRavBGS1_6HakwS/s1800/Woxs_319_margaretsherry_small.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1800" data-original-width="1800" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2Cg1HzY7VPci2TSKTTkEzo-F95UaeAuBUMYz3EJJMgu8OQjN-lhW7KyZrhQgruofTW-qxKggF3F_l4hmBfIIGaEdnXQyxxFBz6ny6_iVKZAzoWKho0lMjlQhYJmI7-1rWgKOujC9oCc6SQv_krxviBsBD5Z19AYnot4Bf8JmrHsRavBGS1_6HakwS/w640-h640/Woxs_319_margaretsherry_small.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-size: large;">Hmm, that lovely sky blue fabric looks almost mauve/lilac in my photo - just shows you what a difference proper lighting makes!

Not only because I`m a Jane Austen fan, but also because I love stitching big blocks of colour, and this project had not only those but a little bit of everything as well, from intricate backstitch detail to beads and petit point. It took just over 50 hours, and instead of unrolling the fabric for every progress pic, I took a photo of my Pattern Keeper screen at the end of each day. I put them in a mini film, together with my finished stitching and the framed picture as it appears in the magazine. Hope you like them, thanks for scrolling through and happy stitching! ð</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dzjTp-1a9nhi5m6m0dvO1rAWiyNOO-H9T64Z0KlHWYVMlOKLJe9js37GuMcMfm8vsLX7qWw1OEft65MNX1z2g' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe></div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div></div><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p>xstitchatozhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16094557170307542316noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5047055200187380382.post-38430723186450095832021-12-16T12:25:00.003+00:002021-12-16T12:25:36.179+00:00Peter Rabbit, matryoshka, Christmas baking, pill boxes and Rialto<div style="text-align: justify;">Last post of 2021 - where has this year disappeared?? ðē Feels like we barely put the Christmas decorations away and it`s time to get them out again!

I love nesting dolls anyway, but in this case it wasn`t just the subject that appealed: there are all sorts of technical challenges that kept me entertained. I enjoyed the straightforward, easy blocks of cross stitch, the elegance of the blackwork detail, the rare opportunity to work lazy daisy stitches, and adding the backstitch and beads.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgf4IEtaOgeVD5lYA-fccB-QPmEn6DUIVJT9-76MyRGFuA4XyrJIHK2lFxT-IZ3uy3LJrLeKAgQlqmuYXowygWy95ojML0qKl6fsV7pNkAWSr4DfMXToMf34zlmh59yP9f355UFBZNKdyJvrZsB0vyWpfxDVDlsEvQkqFcoGqFYWKzuL9uVRLxrhsRL=s2848" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2848" data-original-width="2136" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgf4IEtaOgeVD5lYA-fccB-QPmEn6DUIVJT9-76MyRGFuA4XyrJIHK2lFxT-IZ3uy3LJrLeKAgQlqmuYXowygWy95ojML0qKl6fsV7pNkAWSr4DfMXToMf34zlmh59yP9f355UFBZNKdyJvrZsB0vyWpfxDVDlsEvQkqFcoGqFYWKzuL9uVRLxrhsRL=w480-h640" width="480" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiu2pt0FCtbUyd1N7JzUR6GSBOq_N_BcCZ6FAqxo_Dv_zUNADs_uj7AF52yPRlIhssJ5HOCqVwqQbxt-tRJB1m8kh_jFxzQyQsFABXKKbi1CxQ8khWAc3Ehz-xuPUc15DfeufeKknzmsR166e_jFlVXvooiTak9NvQFvCAm7yaQRylvqyCEG7SNkl-P=s1800" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1800" data-original-width="1800" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiu2pt0FCtbUyd1N7JzUR6GSBOq_N_BcCZ6FAqxo_Dv_zUNADs_uj7AF52yPRlIhssJ5HOCqVwqQbxt-tRJB1m8kh_jFxzQyQsFABXKKbi1CxQ8khWAc3Ehz-xuPUc15DfeufeKknzmsR166e_jFlVXvooiTak9NvQFvCAm7yaQRylvqyCEG7SNkl-P=w640-h640" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">Another magazine, Cross Stitcher (378) is also in the UK shops now, and I`ve spotted a surprise in it: this is an Emma Congdon design I`d stitched a good while ago but things must have got reshuffled and it`s only being published now.

They were ÂĢ1 each and I liked that they have 7 slots for the days of the week. I immediately thought of my MIL who`s always hunting for new/better pill boxes (at the moment she has a tiny one with two miniscule compartments), so I picked up 2 of these beauties, in case I muck up the first one (which is exactly what happened, so well done, Past Laura, for the foresight *pats own back*). ð</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgst_m2fMKPSDLsfOcy5DnMBNZ4RhuGhOSXBPmP0_IJF-foK968XK6OQWXNeCW1qmACYgrLtS2Rsx5gz5GdkaZxk73_NB9lvnChackyUZk3QcvLFXYz6H9XI3B1rklBr4_PAXJxRQLfCQZuY7PHI0cu-tQmjuEjGZ9Hq3qJXW0Q8VeZp3fzqIL8E51r=s895" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="895" data-original-width="544" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgst_m2fMKPSDLsfOcy5DnMBNZ4RhuGhOSXBPmP0_IJF-foK968XK6OQWXNeCW1qmACYgrLtS2Rsx5gz5GdkaZxk73_NB9lvnChackyUZk3QcvLFXYz6H9XI3B1rklBr4_PAXJxRQLfCQZuY7PHI0cu-tQmjuEjGZ9Hq3qJXW0Q8VeZp3fzqIL8E51r=w390-h640" width="390" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Now, far be it from me that I should offend lovers of pugs, novelty hats or kitsch in general, but I felt these lids had to go and be replaced with a little cross stitch motif that MIL would appreciate more. Disclaimer: I got a lot of help with this project from DH - for example, after I`d attacked the first one with various sharp implements and broke the plastic into smithereens, he spent ages soaking the other one in hot water, until it came off in one piece. But then I found out that while the white background could be peeled off (in 1 mm segments of torn silk), the actual pug face - and hat, let`s not forget the hat - was part of a see-through plastic foil that was welded, or held by magic, to the perspex (I came to this conclusion after breaking 2 nails and 1 plastic spoon).</div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgWuPUG_e3Y-pxGM2_82DXBbZJu9ttIvZAWqKZ6qKLOZqDevhDVfLcP0pkTNdE71PC4qsRtMRZUz6858EcZxOCT3C4O5z1rGsLf3HuEy4Bo4h93qu6eXImJG0R87vwGp-vQFmOZL1DsPqALV4Vv784ZLw15LIaptIhOm9VlmGsQtFf-lJzaB9ckKp45=s895" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="895" data-original-width="544" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgWuPUG_e3Y-pxGM2_82DXBbZJu9ttIvZAWqKZ6qKLOZqDevhDVfLcP0pkTNdE71PC4qsRtMRZUz6858EcZxOCT3C4O5z1rGsLf3HuEy4Bo4h93qu6eXImJG0R87vwGp-vQFmOZL1DsPqALV4Vv784ZLw15LIaptIhOm9VlmGsQtFf-lJzaB9ckKp45=w390-h640" width="390" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">When DH saw that I was wheezing and about to attack it with sandpaper, the dear man must have thought, `Well, that`d knacker it anyway with score marks`, and he ordered new perspex from Ebay for me - and not only the perfect size, but he even made sure the edges were bevelled! ðĨ° So I added my wee stitched rose to it and I think it`ll be a much more suitable pill box for my MIL: </div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjbMggOphJXCYgaPEDJ9n4DbyoO5-0MGVY1e4lqfSfBygfCD65VHufOugNycEGpUjnvlw8UNKuxnJOJISZFRnARn5iJtKzEdZumyTAPWaap6qcuj8uwye58j7qZW2gzZZBV4N_U0-5IxZKYqL1wclOiJctIjt5gW9lk50HB8wEzLyD74aaalAFe2k-u=s895" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="895" data-original-width="544" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjbMggOphJXCYgaPEDJ9n4DbyoO5-0MGVY1e4lqfSfBygfCD65VHufOugNycEGpUjnvlw8UNKuxnJOJISZFRnARn5iJtKzEdZumyTAPWaap6qcuj8uwye58j7qZW2gzZZBV4N_U0-5IxZKYqL1wclOiJctIjt5gW9lk50HB8wEzLyD74aaalAFe2k-u=w390-h640" width="390" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">Finally, last week I also started on a cross stitch project just for me: Mary Hickmott`s `Rialto Bridge` (available from her Etsy shop).

I`ve been working flat out on a Disney Special, the first batch of which arrived on 26 Aug, with another load in Sept and more in Oct, plus I had other commissions coming in in the meantime so, long story short, I completed 33 projects between the end of Aug and 15 Nov. Some of them were card sized, some quite large, and I can`t wait to show you the lot once they`re published! ð</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Since I`ve been stitching 8-10 hours a day most days (tbh even I don`t know how I don`t have carpal tunnel syndrome yet), you can probably imagine how much I enjoy doing non-sewing stuff for the now... until the next commission comes in, that is. ð I`d imagine by the end of this week, I`ll be thoroughly lost without my stitching, so I might even bring out one of my WIPs... although the only problem with that is that it`s hard to get into the mood when you don`t know how much time you have to work on it before you have to put it away again. Still, I`m making the most of my time off by getting organised with my threads - this has been long overdue as the shallower drawers of my original (white) tower were getting to the stage where they were hard to open as bags of threads got caught at the back. So I got another (black) tower with deeper drawers, for my most numerous `hundreds` (I store my threads by DMC numbers, each hundred having their own drawer - or drawers, if they won`t all fit in just one).</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8XeeZIc-4ZVJdNWxX9w0NfuEeoews6gGPZbV3CGQVpguCIFv6U7styEmMZlHzCPMtHjRhRhyphenhyphenUVJF5dLuA5kmwcICAN3l614LoAFAybjzAL2Rk46C_O04hWDkpfBgQh8Nondg4t8s5PIo/s895/1.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="895" data-original-width="544" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8XeeZIc-4ZVJdNWxX9w0NfuEeoews6gGPZbV3CGQVpguCIFv6U7styEmMZlHzCPMtHjRhRhyphenhyphenUVJF5dLuA5kmwcICAN3l614LoAFAybjzAL2Rk46C_O04hWDkpfBgQh8Nondg4t8s5PIo/w390-h640/1.jpg" width="390" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">I`m not particularly pernickety (at least I don`t think so - the subtle messiness of our house attests to that ðĪĢ), but I find well-organised threads not only pleasing but also practical and very important when I need to stitch fast - hence this little introduction to my thread storage system. ð</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi96FqDEKWznChyphenhyphen99LwImgYcYxMCzs5aKQ0WwUTTdAVekThxhHWQiD21up9rQx3KRCBpgzlisegtVhGDbmsMyPP8lMzRLgkUwkYFQ9hDSmwr0tO1cPllHNOBGDpaUadpqWLC6nqN8VWzTc/s895/2.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="895" data-original-width="544" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi96FqDEKWznChyphenhyphen99LwImgYcYxMCzs5aKQ0WwUTTdAVekThxhHWQiD21up9rQx3KRCBpgzlisegtVhGDbmsMyPP8lMzRLgkUwkYFQ9hDSmwr0tO1cPllHNOBGDpaUadpqWLC6nqN8VWzTc/w390-h640/2.jpg" width="390" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">So as I said, I keep my threads in wee ziplock bags: I find these the handiest solution, not only because I think bobbinating is a waste of time I`d much rather spend stitching, but also because I can put any leftover threads in the bags too (and I keep even 5cm pieces that might do for 1 or 2 sts that I spot after I thought I`d done all of that colour). These bags are 9x12 cm, can hold up to 20-25 skeins, and also serve as impromptu pin cushions - at first, I wasn`t going to pierce them but then it turned out it even helps squeezing out the air of them so they take up less space in the drawer. #winwin</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrSKjvjIpt5LnusX6GCUM3K4e4xKV25rm30SOSYdiAf53GqOU38-s_h3LAduzaa6zJMmhOs_-e_BhQWhjAJLSzQ9DVdrsnnu2M1gCJasdekVY9EI3wViO420ni7B3GB2X6-pI-Knm33Ek/s662/crop.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="624" data-original-width="662" height="604" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrSKjvjIpt5LnusX6GCUM3K4e4xKV25rm30SOSYdiAf53GqOU38-s_h3LAduzaa6zJMmhOs_-e_BhQWhjAJLSzQ9DVdrsnnu2M1gCJasdekVY9EI3wViO420ni7B3GB2X6-pI-Knm33Ek/w640-h604/crop.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">I admit, the thread situation has been getting a bit out of control lately: when I juggle several projects at once, some of which use the same colour(s), and when I`m pressed for time, I just chuck everything back in the drawer... and then some bags get stuck at the back the next time I try to open it, and why is it always the very last bag you come across that you need?? ðĪ·ââïļ So, lesson learnt - they`re all organised numerically, in ascending order. ðĪĐ</div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkaUQGpttmkkF8ETX9QlNl29yQKrHA6M356DB7iQEVzVZoNByNuM4SkIzJiov5NJwOYxd6_4gMyMKy8oWuwn_8NuUC8syxsxburqdPTC28ee5JhpGy68rwqsRexjp74iesf6ymmLApKYw/s720/3.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="437" data-original-width="720" height="388" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkaUQGpttmkkF8ETX9QlNl29yQKrHA6M356DB7iQEVzVZoNByNuM4SkIzJiov5NJwOYxd6_4gMyMKy8oWuwn_8NuUC8syxsxburqdPTC28ee5JhpGy68rwqsRexjp74iesf6ymmLApKYw/w640-h388/3.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">The hundreds I have not so many of, e.g. the 500s and 600s (pic above), I left in the shallower drawers, but the big ones - like the 700s, 900s or 3800s - I further organised into groups of 10.

We decided on a westerly loop and spent one day/night in Oban, then went to the Isle of Skye to see the Fairy Pools, and finally came back to Fife via Blairgowrie to see the famous beech hedges there (see pic/info <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meikleour_Beech_Hedges" target="_blank">here</a>).</div><div style="text-align: justify;">We also had a lovely lunch and wander around in Blairgowrie, where in one of the charity shops I discovered a Klimt frame for a mere ÂĢ2.50 - if the kind person who donated it reads this: thank you for the perfect keepsake that`ll always remind me of this glorious time in July 2021! ð</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Since the frame already had The Embrace on it, I thought The Kiss would be a fitting companion, so I went on to Etsy and purchased the chart (<a href="https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/1039542711/modern-cross-stitch-pattern-tiny-gustav?ga_order=most_relevant&ga_search_type=all&ga_view_type=gallery&ga_search_query=the+kiss+cross+stitch&ref=sr_gallery-1-2&organic_search_click=1&bes=1" target="_blank">from here</a>) that`s small enough to fit this 10x15 cm frame. I wanted it to fill the aperture as closely as possible, so I did a little number crunching and decided that 4 over 2 on 18ct aida would give me the result I was after. I knew there`d be a gap on the top but I didn`t want too much of the stitching to disappear under the embracing couple, so I copied the artist`s signature on graph paper and added that in the blank space on the top. All in all, I`m very pleased with the end result and as I said, it`ll always remind me of this great Summer. ð</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPKzwBC6VkfISsjXr9NKlpqByDJzmDKPXRNPF4JdPlJV5KEuzjbOYVFck6n2XLYDbmdMPvF86UEhkNwSAd8eYakTns7SVligzcYaxDhi0O2VObtV7ws7E93IJXBqhj_fLi1hzXmBh8B6U/s2048/crop.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="2026" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPKzwBC6VkfISsjXr9NKlpqByDJzmDKPXRNPF4JdPlJV5KEuzjbOYVFck6n2XLYDbmdMPvF86UEhkNwSAd8eYakTns7SVligzcYaxDhi0O2VObtV7ws7E93IJXBqhj_fLi1hzXmBh8B6U/w634-h640/crop.jpg" width="634" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">In other news, the latest issue of The World of Cross Stitching is in the shops now, with the cute little Christmas robins card by Emma Congdon as the freebie. I`ll be honest: when I saw it last month at the back of issue 310, it looked familiar and I could have sworn I`d stitched it but since I couldn`t find a photo of it anywhere in my folder, I concluded I must be bonkers. So in a way, it was a lovely surprise (and confirmation of my sanity ðĪŠ) when I saw my name under Stitched by - and as luck would have it, the very next day I came across my photo of it too (it was saved in my Crazy folder as originally it was for that magazine ððĨīðĪĶââïļ).

The situation is further complicated by the randomness of where extra cover kits appear, depending (I guess...?) on where you are in the UK, whether you`re a subscriber or you pick up a copy from your local newsagent, etc., etc. So, in light of all this, the best I can do is to keep my eyes peeled ð and make a list of all the familiar-looking designs that I come across, and then post about them here occasionally. ð</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Thus today`s first pic is of the cute little Popcorn Bear that was an extra freebie with last month`s WOXS (I received my subscriber copy of issue 300 but I only found out about this cover kit after seeing a photo of it on FB). ð</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgel_-mIFdMNch0VmfjoI-uA6inuz1XwrzIunr6lcdqRVK_SmmUJJM227O3-L0oK_g1HzBkOQ_spZoTJ3-ncGfxEDNTotRz9GFB_gou1_Sb2gQnjDmGkeEzrlZXO-kLJeNA7He6ZuOTfnQ/s2048/6+hours.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgel_-mIFdMNch0VmfjoI-uA6inuz1XwrzIunr6lcdqRVK_SmmUJJM227O3-L0oK_g1HzBkOQ_spZoTJ3-ncGfxEDNTotRz9GFB_gou1_Sb2gQnjDmGkeEzrlZXO-kLJeNA7He6ZuOTfnQ/w480-h640/6+hours.JPG" width="480" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">Yesterday I got my copy of WOXS 301, and there are a couple of projects in this issue that I stitched a while back: the angel tree decoration that`s the cover gift and 3 Margaret Sherry cards that were originally for Crazy. The angel, designed by Heather Nugent, was a fun stitch on plastic canvas (and I`m not ashamed to admit that even after Heather explained it to me - with illustrations! -, I <u>still</u> couldn`t picture how this front-and-back design will work, but it does!) ð After finishing the front, the plastic canvas has to be flipped and the two wings stitched on the reverse, then by cutting along the lines that are marked on the chart, the wings slot together and voila, there`s the finished angel with no messy back showing! ðē #magic</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

As soon as I saw this little cutie in the Drumnadrochit gift shop, I thought of MIL: she`s a passionate collector of lavender sachets and the kit included that too so not only did I have fun stitching it, I didn`t have to hunt for dried lavender once it was finished, either. ð</div><div style="text-align: justify;">I promised more Disney pics in the title and I will add them in a minute, but first here`s a quick peek of my newest treasure: I don`t often buy large kits (because I have plenty fabric and threads so I tend to buy charts instead) but recently I saw this picture and fell in love with it:</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5MjPrX-bqCMCXZfH1d7AMrbB1t_hO-1ZCYWKpgvvwO0Ezp25up9oEPw9Ca33RXyI3xHiA-JC9S-lT6DX1cikMm6VHEOL6ASJ0yYsMxvZ6DIZXxh59xpDJAR04YRk6y-TncAE2qpHfYGI/s1500/rome.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1019" data-original-width="1500" height="434" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5MjPrX-bqCMCXZfH1d7AMrbB1t_hO-1ZCYWKpgvvwO0Ezp25up9oEPw9Ca33RXyI3xHiA-JC9S-lT6DX1cikMm6VHEOL6ASJ0yYsMxvZ6DIZXxh59xpDJAR04YRk6y-TncAE2qpHfYGI/w640-h434/rome.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">It is a large (80x50 cm) design of Rome by Thea Gouverneur and as well as being stunning, it also features almost all the attractions we visited last summer, so I can`t wait to start on it - I`ll be remembering the summer of 2019 every time I look at it. ð</div><div style="text-align: justify;">OK, more Disney.

First up, I found this little penguin by Maria Diaz - I`m not sure why I had 2 kits but I stitched them both, at least they can keep each other company in the drawer until I decide what to do with them (seeing that I don`t send hand stitched Christmas cards as a rule).</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXFX-ES2Hg-kDWzHVFldoJysMvlHbRcAQxu874tF-i9c7t6vHBatjq7kk7CLTsJZc0Fpt7sRa1KVMqSUUV04L_JX8rdyeicOlv5wCWhpiT6WUXf11DBqMc3VvRdjR3O3RLuhkUgxtk1xY/s625/crop.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="625" data-original-width="570" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXFX-ES2Hg-kDWzHVFldoJysMvlHbRcAQxu874tF-i9c7t6vHBatjq7kk7CLTsJZc0Fpt7sRa1KVMqSUUV04L_JX8rdyeicOlv5wCWhpiT6WUXf11DBqMc3VvRdjR3O3RLuhkUgxtk1xY/s0/crop.jpg" /></a></div><p style="text-align: justify;">Next on my list was that VW camper van from an old issue of Cross Stitcher - but by the time I sewed it up, I realised it was the perfect size for my phone and I actually needed a cover for that more than for my sunglasses (especially as both my pairs already have cases... so yay, at least they won`t get scratched wherever they are, I simply can`t find them, have looked everywhere, searched all the spare/empty bags, you name it and I just cannot find them anywhere - meh, I`m sure they`ll turn up when I least expect it, probably towards the beginning of December ð).</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbA5iS3QKqMoB9PicJhr5God2k8On4fHm6u4vsAuYlXaIL-9BIGTQvGqrAqat16g308eWoIKd2nd1pjLgGMmQzB5QIsxZj7_nz0zskhrUFm8JjAut6T5QWsqIuJLrutSjYN2m91dikibE/s960/116423140_307756990351535_4734386641157933780_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="720" data-original-width="960" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbA5iS3QKqMoB9PicJhr5God2k8On4fHm6u4vsAuYlXaIL-9BIGTQvGqrAqat16g308eWoIKd2nd1pjLgGMmQzB5QIsxZj7_nz0zskhrUFm8JjAut6T5QWsqIuJLrutSjYN2m91dikibE/s640/116423140_307756990351535_4734386641157933780_n.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><p style="text-align: justify;">Finally, I just finished a Field of F*cks sampler for DH - I`ve been eyeing that (probably, most well-known) version that looks like it`s a Bayeux Tapestry replica for ages, and I still might buy it for myself yet, but in the meantime, hubby saw it and wanted a simple version `for work` ð so I made a very basic sampler for him, just the text and a tiny illustration of a barren field (the size of the letters was more important, so that it can be read from a distance... not that the intended audience is that far from his work station ð).</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Hope you`re all doing well, stay safe and happy stitching! ð</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmRnTLo2c6Hbr56-TGnQjWBZ9rCvmd8bBLTrE6GdEN9V8_-vywHOI3NZjGVSujWfUzOLXEqc1dBQ3_A0mQVJnUsFL4SU8ge8WZURn4fl6fOtE743re_X71Qrvr-GGpU1gvC2vi9UgLCrU/s2048/DSCF0560.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmRnTLo2c6Hbr56-TGnQjWBZ9rCvmd8bBLTrE6GdEN9V8_-vywHOI3NZjGVSujWfUzOLXEqc1dBQ3_A0mQVJnUsFL4SU8ge8WZURn4fl6fOtE743re_X71Qrvr-GGpU1gvC2vi9UgLCrU/w480-h640/DSCF0560.JPG" width="480" /></a></div><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p>xstitchatozhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16094557170307542316noreply@blogger.com2
