I had an idea for a new cross stitch pattern I wanted to try out, and a housewarming gift for my friend Teresa seemed like the perfect project to try it out. I asked her for color ideas and she said robin's egg blue, canary yellow, and gray which I absolutely loved for this. Teresa has a blog, Daisies for Violet, where you can see her awesome crochet projects. You should also go like her Facebook page. And you can get this pattern to make your own over at Etsy. ...

I enjoyed it so much that I've created a bit of a series which will be posted soon. ... Read More
I’ve amassed quite a few cross stitches that haven’t seen the light of the Internet. I figured now is the time to change that. I wanted to make a birth cross stitch for Evie, but I wanted to do something different than what you might usually see.
