This is a Cross stitch design of the Ice King from Adventure time.

I find the Ice King a facinating character. In each episode we find out more and more about him which turns him from an icompitent villian into a sympathetic character.
*spoiler alert read at your own risk*
When we first see the Ice King in season 1 of Adventure time he is simply a bumbling Villain who Finn and Jake end up defeating on a regular basis. They never do away with him perminatly (this show is for a young audience I doubt they would kill him) but they could lock him up or send him far away. I suppose he wouldn't listen if he was banished and come back anyway.

At this point if there was no character development for the Ice King we would most likely see him fall out of use in the series or suffer villian decay (just like Jessie, James and Meowth in the Pokemon series) where the villian is no longer scary or does not even pose any threat because they have been defeated so many times by the heroes of the cast.

This design was drawn originally with Anchor colours in my program. Use anchor threads to get the closest match. I used a conversion chart to get the DMC numbers.

Please let me know if any colours are off and I will amend them in the chart.  

This is a cross stitch design of Pinkie Pie as she goes a little mad in the episode 'Party of One'. This episode shows that Pinkie is actually very dependent on her friends for company and validation of her own worth.
This episode shows a darker side to Pinkie Pie as without her friends she appears to have no purpose, no goals and no way to be happy without others. Since she is made happy by helping others and making them smile but seems to have no way to make herself smile when she is alone.

Her madness/ depression in this episode appears to be not only mental but physical as her hair noticeably straightens and her colouring is darker and duller. This may be a way to show the viewer clearly the change in her personality or to perhaps show that Pinkie has two very different sides to herself, one of which she perhaps prefers not to show to others.

I think it may also be fun to draw some designs based on her party guests in this episode as there are already a few fan art pieces based around these 'characters'.

My Little Pony and all characters belong to Hasbro, I make not claim to these characters. This picture is fan art and is free to share with cross stitching My Little Pony fans.

Hello everyone!
Are you ready for a spooky Halloween?
This set of carved pumpkin designs was requested by a friend who wanted to make a set of coasters for her Halloween feast. Each pumpkin matches so the coasters look like a full set but with a unique face so guests know which one is theirs.
If your coasters are square there will be a little room at the top or bottom for your own message or to add a name if you want to personalise each one as a gift for a treat bag.

For a darker look to the pumpkins perhaps to match more black themed Halloween party decorations the faces on the Pumpkins can alternately be stitched in black.

This is a cross stitch design of Pipsqueak in his Nightmare Night outfit I though since Halloween is just around the corner another design of a Nightmare night costume was definitely needed. This is the first time we see Pipsqueak in the show and he is so adorable. Don't you just love this little colts accent too. According to his discription in the My Little Pony mobile game he is from Trottingham.
Have we ever been there in the show? I don't recall this? Since it is rumoured that Pipsqueak is based a little off a character in Great Expectations by Charles Dickens I can't help imagining Trottingham as a tribute to Victorian England with close houses and dingy alleys. Sounds like an interesting place to visit.

I love my Mummy Halloween motif cross stitch design

I love my Mummy Halloween motif cross stitch design



This is a really simple cross stitch design of a bandage wrapped mummy.
This design is a great size for a large card perhaps an invite to a Halloween Party or part of a Halloween decoration.
I made sure this design wasn't too scary so it can be suitable for a kids Halloween sweet collection bag. Also simple enough in case you end up having to make up a few bags this Halloween.

Here's a link to my other Loot bag design this year:

Simple sweet themed Trick or Treat bag for Halloween cross stitch design

Simple sweet themed Trick or Treat bag for Halloween cross stitch design



Hello everyone,
This is a simple cross stitch design for a trick or treat bag. I was originally going to have a really big pile of sweets but theres not much time to sew something complex now.
This is going to be sewn for my Nephew. Its his first Halloween where he is allowed Trick or Treating and hasn't decided what costume to wear yet. His lovely big sister is going to take him to the store to find him a hat to wear and he is ever so excited. Maybe next year when he decides a little earlier what costume he would like I'll design him a loot bag which goes with the outfit hes chosen. Maybe I'll just do a few of the costumes hes considering just in case.

Since its his first year trick or treating we have asked our good friends in the area who is going to be in so he and his big sister can knock only on houses where we know who is inside. We are going to give them a little bag of sweets to give him so we know what will be in his bag at the end of the night.

Heres a link to another Halloween Loot bag design for this year:

This chart was originally designed in Anchor threads and converted to DMC

In preparation for the spooky night of Halloween heres a Halloween themed pumpkin alphabet. This set of letters is designed to look like it is carved out of pumpkins. Some of the letters are slightly off center to give the impression of hand carved pumpkins. I have also included a plain pumpkin which would look sweet on a simple cross stitched card.

The letters within the pumpkins can also be sewn in black as if the candle inside the pumpkin has been blown out. In yellow it looks like there is a lit candle inside the pumpkin.
Heres an example of the text in black:

Have a Happy Halloween everyone!
