I Love Cross Stitch Mousepad (10/30)
I wasn't in the mood to start the next square of the afghan, so I dug through my stash of kits and decided to do something completely different. It's a mousepad kit done on 18 ct. vinyl weave. Here's the picture of it from the package:
I got a late start on it today and decided to do all the borders first, so this is as far as I got:
I looked at this company's website and they've got several really nice mousepad kits including a kitty and one with really pretty butterflies. I see an order in my future!

I think I got this kit at Hobby Lobby, but it looks like you can order direct from them.

Thanks--will have to have a nice look thru that site--unfortunately there are no Hobby Lobby stores in my area.

Lovely kit, and great start
Re: I Love Cross Stitch Mousepad
Lovely!! My question: if you use it for mouse pad, will the mouse give some scratches on your work?

sooo cute!
Re: I Love Cross Stitch Mousepad
That's an unusual use for a cross stitch. I like the design though.

Re: I Love Cross Stitch Mousepad
OMG! Four days with no Internet! I jumped on briefly yesterday when I was desperate and went to the library to use a computer there. You'd think I'd get lots of stitching done, but things pop up and stuff happens. Oh well! I did make a little progress with the mousepad. The needle that came with the kit must have been a #24 and it was hurting my hands pushing and pulling it through those tiny 18 count holes, so I dug out a #26 and it's been going much smoother. I'm glad I did the borders first so that I can skip around a little and work on other areas! Here's where I am right now:

Coming along very nicely. Doing without the internet for 4 days would definitely not be fun though Glad you were able to stitch better with the 26 needle--I love using 26 and 28 needles

That's rough to go a long time with no internet! The mousepad is shaping up very nicely!!

How are you getting on with the "fabric"? I have a project for children in mind using vinyl, but haven't ever used it myself.
Re: I Love Cross Stitch Mousepad (9/14)
Great progress.
