kiwirach's stitching **31/03/14

[kiwirach]

this is my first attempt at 'show and tell'!.
this is a small finish for a swap i'm in on another forum, where we have to send our swap partner bits and pieces related to their interests.

so i have made this - its the first cross stitch finish i've done in about 20yrs!. and for a small piece it caused alot of grief!. i had to undo it 3 times and there is still one mistake, which i decided i could live with and unless you really know the pattern you wouldnt realise!!.



it's a Lizzie Kate jingles flip it thingie!

please me kind on a born again newbie!!.

Hi Rach what a cutie that is. Love the reindeer who looks quite snooty. what a neat idea to make it into a bag for your gift giving. Well Done.
see you can finish one now .

[kiwirach]

You did a fantastic job on this adorable design! I absolutely adore L*K designs but have yet to stitch one myself. Someday! Sorry about all the grief it caused but it was sure worth it in the end

That is an adorable project. No need to be embarrassed you did a wonderful job. And we all started someplace, your beginnings look great!!!!!!!!

so cute! and i would say your 20 year gap didn't matter at all! my dad--the Christmas king--would love it! where did the pattern come from?

That is so cute! And nicely stitched!! I look at the Lizzie & Kate designs a lot but so far my willpower has held...not sure for how long as they have such a fun variety.

[LadyS]

I think it's adorable! Never be shy to show your projects, we love it all, from all levels of experience!

I brought the pattern online from a Uk store. It's by Lizzie Kate, and it's prt of the jingles series. It's American though, so should be easy to find I'm sure

[kiwirach]

Thanks for all your kind words

That's a fun one and it finished well. Nice work on your part. Be careful around that tree so you don't break off your picture hook.

I love Lizzie Kate patterns and have a few that I have done. Have one in my WIPs right now. They are a lot of fun to stitch. This is a great one and you have done a great job

every tuesday i photograph my progress with the Little House Neighbourhood, so i thought i would share one pic here as well as on my blog.

i started this on 6th Aug, and for the first two weeks struggled with the count size so didnt do alot each time!. then i got glasses! they sure have helped!!.
but then i have to put it aside for a week to work on the xmas deccie in the opening post.
since last week i've been able to make good headway with this and this is where i'm at as of lunch time today.



i love those sheep!!.
