Cross Stitching


Some of my cross stitches that I have completed! I do alot of them as gifts and therefore that do not get to hang in my house (sigh!!!)

The first big one I ever did - it has been hanging around for years and when I fell pregnant I decided that I would do a Noah's Ark theme for our babies room, So that is it's happy home now. Amelia loves it and I am sure she will learn all of the animals one day.










A tiny little cross stitch - I almost went cross eyed doing this! It is only about 2inches x 2inches. I love it. One of the things that I don't enjoy doing is the backstitching, So this had very minimal to do (well the hardest thing was actually holding onto the aida - as it came precut in a kit.










A gift for my husband for his 30th Birthday. I was able to keep it a secret for ages - infact I was about 1 week off of finishing it when he came home unexpectadly early from work and it was on the bed. Oh well - it was still a surprise (sort of) He said that I did very well keeping it from him for that long and he was starting to wonder if he was going to get something...


Just thought that I would post my fabric purchases from Spotlight the other day. Now all I have to do is make something with them (lol)











Little Nappy Cover for Amelia - Just can't stand seeing baby girls nappies!










Dress for me - Wrap/with a long wrap around tie!









Another dress for me! Another wrap dress - but with 3/4 sleeves









This piece I picked up for $2 a metre so I got 3 (lol) Doesn't show up very well but it is a pick polycotton with little with flowers = thought maybe a dress for myself and something for Amelia - as long as we wear them on different days, I am sure it will be fine - Right??

Knitted Jumpers

Just thought I would show off some of my latest projects. The jumper for Isabella (that Amelia modeled for me) and a jumper for our friends little boy. Both from a new Patons pattern book that I bought. Next project is to get the sewing machine out and sew some clothes for myself and some much needed shorts for Amelia.
