Framing myself

Here is what I have been doing the past few days, and, I have actually awoken by myself each morning really early. (which never happens) Between 5 30 and 8. Bunny is thrilled, because she loves cuddles in the morning on the sofa with a little jogging on the rug in-between.

 I did some interior decorating of bunny's toys, needless to say, she was not impressed.



 I framed the "all I want for christmas..." piece. Now I can pack it up for next season.

Here is how far I got on my Sunday WISP. I am loving this idea.
All day I sat stitching with some kinder-egg chocolate and Charmed on the TV. 
(I am now on season 4, Oh, Prue, I miss you)

I framed my Gorjuss piece. Another frame from flea-market this fall, I wanted to go with a light woodcoloured frame from IKEA, but they have stopped making them (I used one here, the Peter one). So I went home and looked through my stash, and found this pretty little frame, which needless to say, I love!

Two of a kind

 So, my fist Star-Trek pattern is finished. I like the effect of the white sparkling text. Love the blue (although on camera it looks purple) cloth. I adore the ship ( even if I changed it a little in the next wip) What I am slightly ambivalent about is the text itself, I am not too sure about it's placement. So I changed it:


 This is my second Christmas-gift finish, (Here is the fist one) almoooost finished. I will get it done before I go to bed, even if it will take me all night!
I like this one better. Boyfriend asked to have his text askew like this, so I did that. His letters are done in silver DMC and there is another little difference between this ship and the one above, can you find it? LOVE LOVE LOVE this design, and I already have the frame for it I think.


I started on my halloween stitch. Here I also changed some of the colours from the chart, because black on black is not really visible. I think this is going to turn out really cool. I want to make the whole set.
Here is a link to look at how it will hopefully turn out :(the design)


Another Freebie, because it is that time of year. I caught boyfriend humming a christmas carol the other day even though he fervently believes in no christmas-songs until atleast December.


And, I made bunny a toy, because all day she has been sleeping next to me on the carpet while I have been sewing (she did that yesterday too, through 12 episodes of Bones season 7) and I thought she needed some stimuli. Now the carpet is full of hay. But I WON, because, she has been chewing on the twigs! And she never does that unless we hold them up for her to chew, apparently, twigs are not interesting on the floor by themselves. Can you see her little open mouth? I love my bunny. ^^


On a footnote, Ben did not win, but not my fault, I did vote once:P 
And something else that I have two of now (almost two of finished christmas-gifts, keep forgetting that the blue Star-Trek pattern is a birthday-gift), signed A1 cd's. Yay.

Last halloween I gave you my heart

The last Halloween design, actually I am quite pleased with this one, I think it might be my favorite out of the set of four Halloween designs.... Trust me to like the rabbit design best :p My cat-loving friends like the cat design best, so I guess it comes to show our partialness.                                          
What do you guys think? I am going to put up a poll where you can vote which of the Halloween designs you prefer and it will be open until Halloween.

I was out adventuring again, this time in my pretty pink jeans





Once upon a time on Sentimental Bunny I made a few scraps and thoughts, and now finally I have this Macstitch programme that I have been trying out the demo version of for a while, and now I went crazy and bought it. This is not my first homemade by myself cross-stitch, but it is the first pattern I made all by myself. This is the first. So now without further ado, here is my newest and one of my first cross-stitch patterns. And no surprise that it is with bunnies and christmas?  For free, just for you:)



And one day I might be able to upload it as an pdf-file so that you more easily can get it. But I think you can just save the picture and go from there?
So, what do you think?

(And since I am here I can tell you that even though rabbits love carrots, a whole carrot has more sugar than rabbits should eat in a day and should only be given as a treat in small amounts, but hey, it is only Christmas once a year right?Although my bunny actually prefers the greens on top of the carrot)
