Harry Potter Dementor Cross Stitch Pattern

Harry Potter Dementor Cross Stitch Pattern

We've had Harry Potter on the brain more than ever before now that we live in Edinburgh. We're surrounded by Harry Potter gift shops and places that inspired the books. It's a lot of fun to walk through town and see the inspirations behind Hogwarts and Diagon Alley. Every time there's a dress up day at school, we're overrun by kids in wizard cloaks. I had a lot of fun creating this Harry Potter Dementor Cross Stitch Pattern, even if it did take me a Hogwarts year to stitch it up. **This ... Read More

Merry and Bright Cross Stitch Hoop

Merry & Bright Cross Stitch Hoop

I've been amassing a pile of felt and fabric scraps from various Christmas projects that needed to be used.

I pulled some of my scraps together to make this festive little Merry and Bright Cross Stitch Hoop and it has added yet another pop of homemade Christmas cheer to our family room.

Madeline Quote Cross Stitch Pattern

Madeline Quote Cross Stitch Pattern

My first-born daughter was always going to be Madeline and I never had any doubt that my first-born would *be* a daughter. I fell in love with the Madeline books as a child and her name was just the prettiest name I had ever heard. Today our Madeline turns ten. I can remember being pregnant with her like it was yesterday and I really don't know where the time has gone. I stitched up this Madeline Quote Cross Stitch Pattern as a gift to her as she enters double digits. This pattern is a ... Read More

Eight Ort Storage Ideas

Eight Ort Storage Ideas

Many stitchers hold onto their orts (the small leftover bits of thread that occur when you're doing an embroidery or cross stitch project). I'll admit that I hadn't until a couple of years ago, but I wish now that I had discovered the practice sooner! I asked my stitching friends forever and ever ago what they did with their orts and I love seeing all the different ways they've hung onto their pretty thread ends. I've rounded up Eight Ort Storage Ideas for you to get stitchy inspiration ... Read More
