I found a really pretty embroidery pattern online - flikr I believe, but I can't remember exactly where. When I do, I'll edit in the link! The weather here has been bleak to put it mildly, so we haven't really left the house much in the past three days except to get food. On the last day of my wonderful three day weekend, I finally did something productive and stitched this pattern up. :) I love how elegant and simple it is, so I just had to make it too.
I used blue fabric with white thread and buttons.

The whole thing. :) I haven't finished framing it, but mostly because I don't know where to put it or if I'm going to give it away or not.
In other news, the pokemon cross-stitch hasn't started yet, booo. I had to order some aida cloth because the store didn't have the right size and I can't afford to travel all over town on the bus, so I just bought it online. Unfortunately, the online store was based out of Ohio and apparently they had massive snow storms lately so the shipping was delayed. Two weeks later and still no aida. It'll probably be here this week or the next, I hope.
To bide my time, I bought some patterns I've been eying up on etsy such as the Bigfoot pattern from Badbird, and the wedding set from WildOlive. I got a sweet surprise from WildOlive from ordering on Valentine's - a free pattern! Yay! So I have plenty of embroidery to keep busy with until the Gen II can get started. :) Gonna be a crafty week coming up!
