...to visit my grandmother for the weekend (where the internet is horrible and I probably won't use it much), I thought I'd give you a little preview of some upcoming patterns :) After I got my new job yesterday I was in such a good mood that I made almost two new Dudes and started a third! Here's a mallard duck and a beaver:
I still haven't decided if they will be in the same set, so I'm not sure if a pattern will be ready over the weekend, but I'll do my best :) I'll also try to finish the next Great Big Bug for Tuesday, which will be a fly! A housefly, not a blowfly :) I think flies are fascinating, though I don't want them near my food, I love to watch them groom themselves. I have some other stuff to finish as well, plus I really want to begin my owl for The Great Owl CAL :D
Ooh, and I've also stitched up one of my many tiny cross stitch kits! It took me just a few hours to finish - instant satisfaction :D Naturally I started with one of the hedgehogs:
His nose/face is one stitch shorter than it should be, but I think that only made him cuter, so I didn't correct it :)
Well, it's past four in the afternoon, and I think my uncle will be her to pick me up soon, so I'd better finish packing. I can't believe how much stuff I have to bring just for a short weekend! A small suitcase full of yarn and WIPs, my backpack with more yarn, stuffing, a bottle of wine and my laptop, a handbag with even more yarn, a shopping bag with food, and a little laundry that I haven't had time to do... *whew* But Bollan is already packed and ready to go, and that's the most important thing :)
Awesome new dudes! I could also pictue a bald eagle dude! (I saw one the other day in the wild for the first time, and shortly afterward thought, that'd make a cute dude!) Awesome hedgie too! Your's is cuter with the shorter nose.
ReplyDeleteWhat do you do with your little cross-stitch's after you've made them? Do you frame them in small photo frames or in the small hoops? I've never picked up tiny cross-stitch pieces because I just don't know what to do with them when they're done. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI haven't decided yet. The ones I've done before I've usually put in small photo frames, but I'm concidering to put all these new ones in one of those big construcions that really are several frames put together. You know what I mean? There are also the possibility of putting them on the back of small mirrors or larger keychain things :)
