Work in Progress Koi Cross Stitch

I found this cute cross stitch online and decided to copy. The picture has since been unlinked so I can no longer link to credit it. I am going to add some lily pads next. 

Framed Mario Cross Stitch

        I finally got around to framing the Mario Cross Stitch I had been working on for Alfredo. I used a $10 frame purchased from AcMoore, which included a mat and I happened to have a coupon. I attached the fabric in the frame using command strips so that I could remove the piece later if needed and had some wiggle room when placing. I think this is an easy framing idea for beginners and because the piece is under the mat the edges are hidden :) 

 

Post again soon :)  

Stitch-Tober Days 1 to 4

I am participating in this really cute project called Stitch-Tober where you do a cross stitch each day in October. This is actually my first time doing cross stitch ever. So I will be alternating patterns and finished projects.

October 1st I designed this cute little pumpkin: 

And 

October 2nd I finished my first crochet stitch :)

October 3rd I designed two versions of the same cat:

October 4th I picked the cat design on the left and placed him behind the pumpkin I had stitched previously:

 

 

I am so excited to learn cross stitch! So far it has been a fun and wonderful experience :D I've wanted to try it for years and this finally gave me the inspiration and reason.
