A lot of the people on the lj cross stitch comm are posting year end reviews of their stuff, so it inspired me to do one of my own. I'm kind of surprised by the amount of stitching I did, now that I look back on it. And I didn't realize that I made like, half a dozen pinkeeps. (I need to find something new to do.) But most of them are quite small and didn't take very long to do.



Holly & Ivy pinkeep, Country Cottage Needleworks design


Heritage Textiles Tudor Rose fob


pinkeep for a swap


Little House Needleworks pinkeep


a Chatelaine biscornu


Needlebook from a Joan Elliott pattern


Little House Needleworks pinkeep


mattress pincushion, Sweetheart Tree pattern


My first altoid tin. I stitched this while I was at my job, which inspired me to do it in the first place.

Just Nan floss tag


I stitched this for my mom, but haven't figured out what to finish it as yet.


Altoid tin for my sister. These are quick to make and then you can stick gift cards in them.


mattress pincushion. Pattern by Les Grilles de Maryse


pattern by Country Cottage Needleworks. I want to live in an aqua and pink bakery.


a Halloween sampler by Shepherd's Bush. I got the kit for my burfday.


B is for Bunny. I started this in like, 2007 and just now got around to putting the beads on it.


Peacock Cypher by Just Nan. I've been working on this off and on for the past two years and I finally decided to concentrate on it and get it finished. The frame just came in the mail, so it's almost done with, yay.


Ice Crystal Roses by Just Nan. Sorry the picture is kind of washed out, I took it by Ott-Lite.
This was the most complicated thing I've done this year, it had lots of specialty stitches that were a pain lot of fun to do. It still needs to be framed though.


Moar tins! I made these for Nicole and Sarah for Christmas, my last two finishes of the year. I reused the bunny patterns from the framed picture above for Nicole's.


The insides. I needed a picture quickly, so I grabbed a lolbunny.


Walter is not impressed.



I don't really have any resolutions, but I do have some project goals for 2009. They are mostly Big Ass Projects.
Finish Taj Mahal Garden. If it kills me.
Finish kitting up Japanese Garden and get that started
Ditto for Just Nan's Queen's Bluebird Box
Find a copy of Amethyst Snowflake.

And now I think I'm going to go read a book for awhile instead.

Wow, those are lovely! I did cross-stitch one summer when I had knee surgery. :-)

Thank you! :)Cross stitch is pretty fun for a sedentary hobby. I tend to do a lot of it while I'm stuck at my desk at work. I'm thinking about taking a sewing class this year just to learn something new. That's like, my New Year's Resolution every year though. Real sewing is hard.
