cross_stitchIt's been a while since I posted any finished objects, largely because I've been doing a lot of knitting these past few months and what cross-stitching I've been doing has mostly been wee kits that I keep for travelling and none of them have actually got finished. But I have been working on something a bit bigger lately and I discovered I did have another couple of finished objects that I'd just never posted about.
I finished my clock stitching back at the start of February but still haven't got around to putting the clock itself together - largely because its currently sitting in my room at my parents while I've been working in another city these last 4 months...
It was actually these wee fellows that reminded me to make this post, as I was looking for the bunny on Tuesday and came across the icecream, still un-set and spent some time fiddling around with my jewellery fixings getting it sorted out and have been wearing it to work since then.
After my inital success with stitching on plastic, I wanted to make some more things with it. I was stuck for ideas to make something for a friend's imminent baby, when the idea of making a mobile to hang over the crib came to me. My cross-stich magazine had a page of assorted beach/seashore related patterns which I thought would make a lovely theme for a summer baby. (Even if this summer has really not been beach appropriate weather.)
