Tuesday is back Tunes

And here is one of the songs that I am currently singing along to. ^^

Tomorrow I think I will have a finish, and soon I will show you my friend's birthday present, if I can finish it that is. ;) I have to whip out my sewing machine to make the inside of the bag and the pocket. It is Totoro! 

And I have started my Christmas decorations. This was a freebie from World of Cross Stitch Magazine, three little Margaret Sherry mice. I am going to make them all, twice. Once as pillows, and once as cards, because they are fast, cute, easy and adorable!

Oh, and happy 6th! Aishiteru Anata.

Hold on, its bunny time

So Happy Birthday to me. 

(which is not until December, but since I need a bunny card and I usually don't get enough bunny cards for my birthday I made one myself. Usually people just say that it was hard to find so they got me this teddybear/kittycat/random turtle, but I still wanted a bunny, I buy cards all year long and keep stored for when I need them and personally think everybody should) 

I am not ungrateful mind you, it is the thought that counts, but I take matters in my own hands and shall make more bunny cards for when I feel like I need one;)

Bad picture, but hey, a finish is a finish. No matter how bad the picture. I love Margaret Sherry designs and the backstitch was not as bad as I had imagined since I got new gold plaited needles....

I am going to bed now, after bunny gets her cuddles that she has been not so patiently waiting for and nudging after.

Sunday shines for you

Regarding the title, I know it is really monday. But I am allowed a bit of creative headlining? And technically this post is up so late in the day that it is monday anyway...

Today, the sun shone, Yay, I think spring is really coming out. And about time.

So, I did not stitch the entire set on this that I said I would, because I have not stitched much today, I have been doing housework. Which is a bit dull, and boyfriend and I have played on the PS3 which was very fun.

But I am planning to stitch abit more before bed. :)

 Look at Henry, I am done with all the grey's on him, finally, and all I have left is his arm. Now he does seem a bit disproportionate in this picture, I mean, who has such broad shoulders? But then again he might have padded them somehow... Like they did in the 80-90s. He was after all the most handsome man in all of Christendom at the time, so he might have had shoulders like boulders, or he might have had a foreseeing fashion sense and started the padded shoulder look before his time.

Look at my bunny. Just the backstitch to go.... Just like everybody else, I love this design, but I HATE the backstitching on it... But it is going to be so worth it, just like in all of Margaret Sherry's designs.

 I love her designs. :)

I have one of her books too, but there were far to little bunnies in the book, a shame because I think her bunnies are the best from her range. (but again, I might be biased) 

So. I took Fred out for a bit, but all the black on black action was starting to get me down. So I gingerly started on a book instead, can you see where I started? There is a LOT of blending of colours on this design. And I wonder what will happen if I run out of one colour since it is not done in anchor or DMC... Want to know something that almost threw me off Fred? The colour that is used the most in this kit is BLACK. I am serious, there was like six times more black than any other colour... I am hoping it will be worth it in the end, even if I feel bored at the moment.

When I am done with Secret Project Number 2, I have another design in mind. I found this from here. And I just could not help myself. I bought the magazine it came from on the ipad, and I am now in the process of kitting it up. I have also finally bought from sew and so those beads needed on Henry and since it is a bit stupid to just buy small things I bought a Just Nan limited edition bunny, because it just screamed to me.
