A finish and a new start!!

Yees I have two new starts but also a little finish =D

My new start is from my stash about 1 year ago I bought this pattern online, my first monochrome design

Keep the voices quiet

Stitched on black Aida 14ct

I choosed a DMC floss from their variations collection



My progress in 4 days


My second start is a kit...  Wolf by Dimensions as you know this will be a present for my brother so I will focus on this piece and remove from my rotation "keep the voices quiet" and "godess of mercy" only until I finish this pattern.




And my little finish...

It took me only one day to stitch on Aida 14ct

Shades of gray!

Hi!!

Today I share my progress with cupyd and psyche I finished the first page and It was very nice to stitch with the parking method, I think without it I will be crazy right now because the amount of confety and changes of color. Any way I'm very happy with the result even there is not a definite shape yet, just shades of gray. But next page for sure the wings of Cupid will appear!! =D

Haul

Hello!!

Today I want to share the patterns and kits that I bought this past months.

Dimensions...

I blame flosstube I saw this pattern being stitched by a Flosstuber and I fell in love right away.

Enchanted Cottage






The favourite animal of my brother is the wolf, so I bought two kits from dimensions, when I finished them of course I'm going to give as a gift for him.


Wolf






Aliexpress...

Again flosstube I saw a lady stitching a beautiful scene from a chinese kit and the curiosity was enough to start browsing the webpage looking for a design that I love, My favourite paint is the Starry night from Van Gogh so I saw the kit and I bought it.

HERE you can see the video with her chinese kit completed

The experience with this page is very good is like Ebay you cant comunicate with the seller any time you wish, your purchase is protected by Aliexpress and I haven't had any problem yet. When I decide to stitch this kit of course I will share my opinion about the quality of threads and all the kit.





Clouds Factory...

Since the last year I'm addicted to Instagram, but the last months I love to see all the cross stitch world on instagram, I found this designer there and I decided to buy this little pattern.

There are a lot of funny patterns like movies parodies, important people, mini galleries of famous painters etc.

Their Etsy shop is:  Clouds Factory

Mexico Icons




Mariachi band



House Stark Sampler...

I love game of thrones and these days I saw this amazing pattern on Instagram of course I couldn't resist and now is part of my stash 


You can find it HERE

And a Forest grew...

As you can see I'm getting obsessed with samplers and the "vintage" look of this patterns, I bought this beautiful pattern on 123stitch.com




Heaven and Earth Designs...

Im a little crazy again I fell in the temptation and in the last sale I bought two patterns:

The tale of the red swans by Aimee Stewart


Mini Bath time by Selina Fenech


Northern Expressions Needlework...

I saw in Flosstube a very popular pattern called Twisted rainbow sampler, It's beautiful stitched on black fabric and with a lot of speciality stitches, I like it a lot but when I saw its "sister" I liked it even more, But a girl in Youtube made her own choice of silks and colors and the result it's AMAZING 
I will leave her video HERE
The name of the pattern is:

Twisted Band sampler 



 They recomend silks but I will think about buy them because for the moment is not affordable for me.

Save the stitches...

This is another popular design on internet, but this one is a free pattern by Elizabeth Almond if you want to check her website HERE 




Chatelaine...

 I'm obsessed with this designs, now I bought this beautiful mandalas, I will start looking for shops in my city where I can find the beads and crystals of my choice.

Japanese Moss Garden



Sleeping Beauty Castle


Victorian Garden



Mini mandala gardens


Knotgarden







This kits and patterns have been bought since December of the last year, but I think for the moment I have a LOT of fun with all these goodies, so I have to stop buying and keep my needle flying =D

Happy Stitching!!

Some progress on Nocturne!!

Hello!!

It has been a while since my last update with Nocturne, But now I choose her and finished the page 10, I'm so proud with the result and of course I know that I'm far from finish her, but the next pages will be with the parking method, so I hope I will be able to finish the second row faster, but by the moment I will continue with my rotation.

In love with a cat

Hello!!

I feel very proud of my progress on my WIP's, In my weekly rotation I pick up my Tapestry cat by Teresa Wentzler and I found it very very fun but a little hard with the half stitches, you have to put the double of attention because counting the linen threads it's a little harder than Aida. But I think the final result will be very beautiful and the effort will be worth, by the moment I share my progress in this pattern...
