3D printed Christmas Ornaments. There are two pieces and they click together.
I created a base of cross stitch (reversible cross stitch – no less), and then used beads and sequins to make them blingy. I think I prefer the sequins.

Paper Embroidery
I have been experimenting with my Cricut to make perforated card for stitching. I found the svg file at Wild Olive.
Here I am doing a bit of stitching on it.
I was thinking, you’re not limited to cross stitch, I could put the holes anywhere.

Mrs Parkman’s Academy of Needlework
I am heading to Hobart next May for Mrs Parkman’s Academy of Needlework, and we have been given homework.
The fabric is 32 count. I bought it at one of EGWA’s Market Days – there is another one soon.
The threads are from Aliexpress (I think they use (rip off) the same numbers as DMC).
I have started because I think it will take me quite a while to finish and I want to have it done by the event.

Advent Calendar – Cross Stitch 1
I am working on the first project from the Historical Sampler Company Advent Calendar.
It’s on Aida, which I haven’t used for years, and if truth be told, I have been a fabric snob, but I am loving it. I can see it with my normal glasses – no magnifying or light required.
And check out that cute needle minder!

School Girl Stitching Club Project 2
Project 2 from the School Girl Stitching Club (From the Crewel Gobelin) has arrived.
Have I done anything with project 1? No, I have not. These samplers are beautiful and they come beautifully packaged with lovely materials.
This one has, in addition, a little project we can work on, with all of the finishing materials.

Home Sweet Home Update
I did the ironing today, so I took the opportunity to remove the hoop, iron this piece and photograph it.
It’s Home Sweet Home by Modern Folk Embroidery – the new pattern is a bit different to this.
I am working on 40 count linen using Au ver à soie 100.3.
I am enjoying planning my stitch path, so I don’t have runs of thread on the back and I don’t have to end threads all of the time.
I am being very monogamous, but I have joined to SALs; Jardin Privé and Clouds Factory. My supplies haven’t arrived yet – I ordered from JKs Cross Stitch Supplies. Once they arrive I will have to decided what to do.

Home Sweet Home
I am back onto my Home Sweet Home cross stitch – I am enjoying the process.
It is a 40 count linen (Zweigart, but I don’t know the name), Au ver à Soie 100.3 (colour 650).
The pattern is from Modern Folk Embroidery.

Framed
I finished this in January 2022, and I hemmed the edges and used magnetic poster hangars (like these ones), but I never really liked it. The fabric slipped in the hangar, so it was a bit skew-wif and I thought it would get dusty and dirty. Now I know how to frame embroidery, I decided to re-do this one.
The frame is from IKEA – the roedalm – and it has a spacer in it, so your embroidery can be at the front or a back (not touching the glass-plastic, that’s how I framed it).
The design is from Satsuma Street, and I stitched it on 25 count linen (two over two), using the called-for DMC.
