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"

Clearing up some confusion.

About all the patterns I lost that I had scanned. I had just scanned all my books! I have over 50 and a lot of them were the big hard cover books with a lot of pages. I scan my patterns and then print them so that I can mark on them as I go. I was so upset with losing all that time I took to scan them that sadly I just said "screw it". And now that im back to cross stitching sadly my scanner is broke now. *sighs* Just not a win win situation for me. So i'm making copies til I can get my scanner working again.

Hello

Hello everyone. I decided to start this blog to post my stitching progress. I am a self taught stitcher and have been stitching for awhile now. I did sadly take almost a 6 year break from stitching because I lost all my patterns I had scanned. So since i've picked the needle back up i've decided to post my finished projects here for people to see. Thanks for taking the time to look over my blog!
