A cute bookmark and an update on new starts :)

This cute bookmark, 'darling dogs in a row' was a free gift with Cross Stitch Crazy magazine, June 2016. I stitched it two months ago for Anshita but couldn't find time to stick it on the card.


I started my new cross stitch starts although I couldn't get much time stitching on each one.

Also, my hands are very dry these days so stitching speed is reduced. Not only that but a bad boy(read husband) at home sat on my specs and broke it. He then sheepishly joined it with glue and tape and now I am using tattered specs for stitching. I have to get a new one. Usually, I don't go out every day but ever since I started this batch of new starts, I am required to go out for some tasks every day. So atleast two hours of free time, meant for my hobbies, is gone :( Not all, but few odds are against me yet I am determined to complete my adventure:)

1. 'I do only Luxury' from the book, Attitudes A to Z by Kyla May.


2. A parrot design from the magazine Cross Stitcher, July 2014.


3. Animal Calendar (Jan month) - from the magazine Cross stitch Collection, Jan 2014


4. Invisible Card - It is meant to gift someone so I cannot show it here

As I said some are small pieces so I won't show how the finished pieces will look. I hope to finish them soon. I will share that information for medium size projects like the below one.

5. Snakes and ladders by Durene Jones from the magazine, Cross Stitcher, Feb 2017


This is how it will look when done.

Thanks for seeing!
Hope you are having a fun crafting time.

Enjoy!
Preeti:)

  5. What a cute bookmark for Anshita! I'm guessing the designer is Durene Jones. Yay for starting new projects, i would like to see what the finished projects look like.Snakes and ladders is such a lovely project, something I can for my Indian friends/family as we all played that in childhood.

  14. Cute bookmark. So many new starts! I started a cross stitch two months ago and I haven't progressed more than a few stitches. It's a big one and I guess it's going to take me years to complete it.

  16. Booimark is very cute. Good luck on your new projects. I used to go out only on sundays. If it happens to go out in between i don't like that much to go. Sorry abt your glasses. Hope you will get a new one.
