Hello everyone,

This is another request from a friend of mine. She wanted to sew a little dump truck for her little boys bedroom. We found a perfect pattern in a magazine but alas it was just a little bit too small

For another border design heres a link:

Jesters hat small card sized cross stitch design

Colour Anchor Thread numbers
Yellow 298
Red 1098
Blue 142
Green 228

Hello everyone,
Today I'd like to share a nice colourful design of a Jesters hat. This design is sized for a card but could make a cute motif for a number of purposes. Why not pair it with other small colourful designs for a kids room? 

Feel free to mix up the thread numbers to use up any scraps you have since this design would be sewn in any colour and still look nice.

Hello everyone,

I hope you all like spaceships, I got an urge to draw yet another spaceship. I should probably rename the next month vehicles month and just run with all of the ideas for designs I've had which are to to with vehicles. To be frankly honest this week my drawing challenge was the statue of Liberty so after lots of research and at least 5 attempts I ended up closing my cross stitch program in a rage (without saving) one cup of tea later I then decided to draw something a little easier. 

This design is for people like my friend who likes to fill in between the lines. She tells me after a long day filling in large blocks of the same colour is relaxing (like colouring in) and she doesn't have to worry about checking with the chart, and just stitch away while watching a TV show before bed and keeping an ear out for the baby monitor. 

Anyway Much love and happy stitching

Hello everyone,
This week I decided to let my friend challenge me to draw a cross stitch design. So the challenge was

'Draw the thing you thought of first in the morning'

Well naturally the thing I think of first is coffee, closely followed by plans to destroy my alarm clock. So here is the result of the challenge a cute cup of coffee to help me start each day. This stitch could be a nice card or a little decoration for an apron. :)

Much love and happy stitching
