Here it is after just a couple hours of stitching. And i'm trying to do it in the "correct" x way. Where they all cross the same direction.

So I finished the Greek pattern as much as I can until I get a frame for it. So I decided to start on something new. And I don't really have anything to do for anyone in particular so i'm actually going to try to do something for myself. Don't really know why I picked this one of all the patterns I want for myself. But it looked like it would be fun. Now that i'm looking at the pattern and seeing all the quarter stitches i'm kicking myself in the butt. *sighs* Well as soon as I can make it to the store i'm going to get the colors I need for the soda seasons pattern and try working on both at the same time. Or do an old car pattern for my dad. I know he would love that.

FINALLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's done. Well almost..... I have to stitch in a few beads that are suppose to be french knots in the bushes then do my framing. Then it gets sent out to John's grandma.

I was digging through some of my cross stitch stuff and found an old finished project. One of the only things I've ever stitched for myself. I find that if I stitch something for myself I have absolutely no drive to finish it. But anyways I stitched this and was planning on putting a picture under the I Love You.

I took a break again from the Greek Harbor. I decided to pick up one of my many garage sale finds from this summer. I found two Mill Hill beading ones. I have never done any beading cross stitch. So I found this to be very fun, and it didn't take me long to finish. I am slight mad with myself for being an idiot and gluing the thing onto paper with my hot glue gun.... duh glue go through holes. But other than that I think it turned out really good.

Well I promised John that I would make him a bookmark awhile ago because I found some cute tiny cross stitch patterns of a moogle and chocobo from Final Fantasy. And I never got around to starting it. The other day I was surfing around the web and found this site that has game patterns. They are really cool. They don't have thread numbers so that part makes it kinda hard. But while I was looking at this site he saw the metroid patterns. So I made him this. I still have to stitch it together. But I think it turned out pretty good

Yay i've gotten 3/4 done!!!!! I'm so proud of myself. This is the largest pattern i've ever done. I had a lot of trouble with the rocks and grass on the left side. So made me want to just throw the entire thing away. Now just to do the boat and little more grass and finish the buildings in the last part and then backstitch and done!!!!!!!

Finally got a new computer so i'm back. I haven't gotten much more done on my Greek project. I keep getting frustrated with this one section that i'm working on. It's a hill and the designs on the pattern just keep confusing me. So it seems to be taking me twice as long to stitch just a couple squares. As soon as I get my printer working i'll scan the pattern and get a better picture of the cat I finished for Eleni.

I haven't been stitching too much lately. My shoulder has been aching and my computer is being a pain so i've just been watching movies with John and reading books. But I did manage to finish Eleni's cat. I can't wait to give it to her.

I managed to get a bit more stitching time in yesterday. This one seems to be moving along pretty nicely.

So I started working on the stitch last night. Put a couple hours into while watching a movie with John, and I find out I picked up two colors that I didn't need instead of the ones I did. Arg! Oh well it's an excuse to go back to the craft store and pick up the colors I need.

Got all my supplies together and in my box to start working on my new stitch. Think i'll start it some tonight. This one is for my boyfriends Grandma. She is Greek so I really hope she loves it.

Well here it is. I finished it two nights ago. Now to iron, mat, and frame it. It doesn't look too bad considering I did mess up on his body a lot. Should have picked something a bit easier to jump back into stitch with. It's hard to see but I used a shimmer thread in with the "menopaws" part. Now I stitched this for my boyfriends mom so I hope she likes it.

This is what i've been working on for the past month and a half. The cat is finally complete and all I have to add is some words. Next to the feet I have to stitch menopaws. And underneath that it says "the hottest i've been in years"
