Some WIPs and Finishes - Update 5/13

[cindywindy]

Just got back from my vacation and wanted to make good on my promise to show my WIPs and finishes. I'm on my iPad and I'm already in bed, so I'll tease you with only two things tonight.

Here's a Pikmin cross stitch for my nephew. I got the pattern from HappyCupcakeCreation on etsy. I just finished it tonight and will turn it into a pillow. Any tips on how to hand sew a pillow?



Next is a stocking I've been working on since last December for another nephew.



And that's it for tonight. I'll post more pics of my other WIPs and finishes when I find the time.

Happy stitching!

What a great idea to stitch those little creatures for your nephew!

Thanks for all your kind words! Here are the rest of my projects:

My first finished cross stitch ever, which was an angel from a Dimensions kit. Now that I think about it, this probably wasn't a good idea for a total beginner. It is in desperate need of reframing.



My second cross stitch project ever was a birth record for my nephew. I edited out his info for my sister.



Wow, I only have 3 finishes in my 2 years of stitching, lol.

Now for my WIPs:

Here's a Mirabilia that I started last June called Roses of Provence. I had to stop because life got in the way, but hopefully I can start stitching on her again in a couple of months.




The next 2 are Dimensions kits.







And this last WIP is from a Bucilla felt stocking kit. I'm nearly done!



Sorry for the horrible quality photos and shadows! I also can't figure out why some pictures are sideways Haha, oh well.

WOW What a fabulous group of finishes and WIP's too. Well Done on all your work, they are really great.

Those are all wonderful. And the angel was your first cross stitch? Wow, very nice; she's so pretty.

I suppose it was my first finished cross stitch. My sister introduced cross stitch to me about 15 years ago, but I never really picked it up until about 2 years ago. Back then, I would start and then just throw away whatever I worked on because my 7 year old self kept miscounting. I really never finished a piece until the angel showed up.

When I finally got back into cross stitch, I thought every cross stitch pattern was the same difficulty. The kit really caught my eye, so I kinda just dove right in, lol. But I got to learn how to bead, couch thread, and how NOT to frame a cross stitch piece.

Fantastic projects!!!! My first cross stitch was a doozy also, with fractional stitches and all! probably why I didn't do another for 10 years
