Hello all!

This is my new blog for tracking cross stitch progress and sharing my work with all those addicted to cross stitch.

I've been stitching since April 2013 but it has become a permanent fixture in my life, the need to stitch each day has become essential.

Below are some of my completed works of 2013:

From top left to right they are: 

1. Disney Princesses by Wee Little Stitches

2. Lumpy Space Princess from Sprite Stitch forum 

3. Batman's Enemies by Cloudsfactory

4. Pretty Little Sydney by Satsuma Street

There were a couple of other things that were given away as gifts, so it was definitely a great year stitching wise.  :) 

I also have two WIPs right now, with progress shown below: 

Punch of Colour Girls 4 by Hannah Lynn on HAED

(Fabric by Colour Cascade Fabrics) 

Been working on this one since around September, but took a break to work on another so progress lately been slow.  Only really picked it up in the last week and a half and really loving stitching it, 1 over 1 on 25 count so it's tests my eyes a little, especially when stitching colours similar to the fabric (which is more silver than the photo lets on).  

This is what it will look like (hopefully) when finished: 

This is my other WIP, or more like UFO because it's been shelved in favour of the above  WIP: 

This is not the most updated it is, I've completed the pirate flag and another of the sails but the photo I just took ended up being quite fuzzy and now the effort of taking another seems all too much.  

It's from the June 2013 issue of The World of Cross Stitching, designed by Lucie Heaton.

That's all for now and hopefully I can keep this blog updated with my cross stitch progress :)
