Thanks for your encouraging comments on my last post!! :)
Anshita's exams are over today and this is what she does the rest of the day ----play games on my laptop and then iPad . Once done , she pounces on my phone and when Raj comes home , she takes his phone too . Just to depict her voracious hunger for playing games after few weeks of internet restriction during exams , I stitched this design -- both cute and apt . I completed today and she loved it . She said she is going to stick it on her room's door .
This design is from the Magazine, The world of cross stitching , March 2013 issue . There are many small charts related to hobbies designed by Debra Page .
I stitched it on jute canvas . Earlier I planned to stitch on plastic canvas but then there were quarter stitches so I chose hard jute canvas because I was going to make it as tag . Later I found that the stitched design was a bit big because of the count of the canvas and so I just used a small foam sheet and glued on it . Added ribbon and brads . It was very hard to glue anything on foam sheets . I used fabric glue . How do you work with foam sheets ?
I added the Harry Potter symbol on the laptop and wrote 'HP' on the cap which were something else in the original design . She is a Harry Potter fan these days . She is done with Percy Jackson, Heroes of Olympus, Divergent and The Hunger Games series and now she found interest in Harry Potter books .
Hope you liked this little piece :)
Have a crafty week!

Cute piece Preeti. Good that she is reading books. I think hot glue gun will work on foam sheets.

It's lovely Preeti she will treasure it. I made one for my son one year the worlds best poker player because it was into poker at the time, I wonder if he still has it. :) xx
ReplyDeleteAdorable finish, Preeti! My daughter's a gamer, too, and she's reading the Harry Potter series right now.
ReplyDeleteOh I love it! Congrats on the too cute finish. My son loves games too but his are on Xbox.
ReplyDeleteVery cute! And if I remember correctly, her room is purple so it matches perfectly. That foam is hard to work with. Not sure what kind of glue you would need to use.
ReplyDeleteLovely cute design.
ReplyDeleteGreat finish and glad she likes it! I'm reading Harry Potter to DD right now.
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute ans personalised pattern!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the super cute finish Preeti.

What a cute design! I remember that wonderful sense of relief when the exams are over...
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute and very appropriate piece, haha. I love how you finished it off:)
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely finish!
ReplyDeleteA lovely finish! Glad your daughter loves it.
ReplyDeleteIt's very cute!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on a cute finish!
ReplyDeleteI really admire your quick neat stitching, Preeti. Every time I see something you have made I appreciate your skill, because my stitching is much slower and less neat :) I hope your husband and your Super Gamer are having a happy week. xx
ReplyDeleteOh that is so cute!! My two younger kids are exactly the same :) Given half a chance, they'd be happy to skip school to sit and play PlayStation games whole day! :D
ReplyDeleteThis is such a cute finish. I always like your color selection.
ReplyDeleteI have recently used foam sheet for the first time and used multipurpose glue for sticking the linen to it.
Very nice..
ReplyDeleteLooks so cute and as you said very apt for your daughter:) have a wonderful day!
ReplyDeleteA cute design and it sounds perfect for your daughter :-) I like how you have finished it, very pretty.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure Anshita did very well in her exams, Preeti! And what a fun piece you stitched for your her :)
ReplyDeleteHappy October to you!
This is a fun piece, no wonder your daughter liked it. Did she do well on her exams?

Cute design and very appropriate. Both my boys love the internet. I'm glad your daughter is reading too. Does she read the books in English or in translation?
ReplyDeleteCute and neat work.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely adorable! Have not worked with foam sheets, no help to you on this one. I use Aleen's tacky glue on the thick foam board for onaments. Glue needs to set for 24 hours to be fully dry.
ReplyDeleteSo cute! I so hear on the gamers. I have two here. And with the spring break , all they seem to want is play games on their gadgets :)
ReplyDeleteThat cross-stitch is adorable!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for linking up to last week's Stitchery Link Party!
That's a super cute cross stitch! Nice color combination
