WIP Epic Pokemon: Month 2

I've officially been working on this piece for about 2 months now. Well...I guess more like 1.5 months, but technically with the amount of breaks, more like 3 weeks, haha!

Anywho, here's another progress shot. I've decided to move over and up each shot/page of pattern.

#33 Mini Wedding Sampler!

Long time no post! Or completed project for that matter. :S I'm still working a lot on the pokemon pattern, planning wedding junk (and crafts!), and many more "in limbo" projects.

On the topic of wedding crafts, I've been brainstorming a lot of ideas for it because we've got over a year till the date. Just some of the diy parts include the ring pillow, paper flowers for centerpieces, invites, bunting, etc.

When I found this royal wedding sampler for Kate & William's nuptials, I just had to make it for myself!

Tadaaaa!

I used our theme colours, and also substituted the crown for something more appropriate to us - a Mario mushroom! I think I want to frame it and use it as a decoration at the table we'll have for guest book signing, or maybe make my own guest book and make it the cover? Another idea I had for it was to use the best picture of it as possible and make it into our RSVP cards to mail with the invites. There's a few things online where you can make your own postcards like on moo, or heck even Wal-mart.

I'm having a lot of fun planning out decorations and DIY projects for this shindig. Will thinks I'm getting a little ahead of myself for it, but hey, it may actually take that long to get everything done!

WIP Sailor Scouts Cross-Stitch

I took a week off my Pokemon stitch last week to work on some cute Sailor Moon sprites! Again, patterns from Alcnaurewen! I couldn't finish them up because somehow, out of the bajillion threads I now have, I still don't have all the ones needed to finish them up. Sailor Jupiter is so incomplete, booo. :(

The next time I get out to Michael's, I'll have to get a ton more threads.

WIP Epic Pokemon Cross-stitch

Well, it has begun! I received the aida cloth in the mail by the 28th of February, and started it as soon as I got the cloth. This is the progress up to last tuesday, but I've gotten a bit further than that by now. I just haven't taken a weekly update yet, lol. I made a picture folder on my facebook for all the progress pictures because it would probably clutter up the blog to post every single picture.

The progress:


I've also started a side project of the inner Sailor Scouts as sprites to work on. So far, I've finished Sailor Moon, and started Mercury. They're so fast to whip up! I'll probably have it mostly done by the end of today because a friend is coming over for some crafting, and collective crafting is definitely a motivator to finish something. :)

#32 Belle Cross-Stitch

I've been on a cross-stitch kick lately. Finally got the big sheet of aida in the mail to start on the epic GenII pokemon piece, but before that I tried something a little different.

Beauty and the Beast is pretty much my favourite Disney movie from my childhood. Belle was always my favourite character too! When I found these patterns by Alcnaurewen on Sprite Stitch, I had to stitch her up!


I want to frame it up, and maybe put around the house or give to a little cousin.

And a close up! I love all the yellows. :D

#26 Flareon Cross-Stitch

I got Pokemon SoulSilver for Christmas because I'm 12 years old. Not really, but I do love the games! I especially love the pokewalker, haha. This post is dedicated to my love of Pokemon.

I actually started this cross-stitch back in September or so, but Michael's was missing two main colours when I was there...and then I got lazy about heading back to check if they were in stock, so I left it until the past weekend. Flareon was always my favourite Eevee evolution. :D

#15 Booze X-Stitches

I bought these patterns (along with a few others) from anawasabi on etsy. They have suuuh a cute shop! It was hard just picking 4 patterns! Anywho, I made these to decorate the kitchen a bit more. I need to iron them out and frame it somehow still, but here we go!
