My Creative Space

I started this cross stitch a few years ago now, last year my New Years resolution was to finish it, I failed.

I have had a renewed interest in cross stitch so I have a new goal of finishing this by October so I can go to the Quilting and Craft show and buy the second one in the set.
Here is a bit of an overview of my progress to date (please excuse the dodgy photo quality).

 Progress as of this week (almost 3/4 of the way through the cross stitching. YAY).

Progress as of the start of 2011

Progress at the start of 2010 year (look at how un-wrinkled the fabric is)

I'll try to post another update in a month or so. 

In other news Cloud is learning to knit, photo evidence to come sometime in the next few weeks:)

New Years Resolution, kind of

I know that it is February but I think I have finally decided upon a New Years resolution. I am going to finish the Michael Powell Secret Garden Cross Stitch that I purchase a few years back. It has been sitting in a sewing frame in the lounge room for the past year or so and during that time I have only completed approx 1/6 of the cross stitching.

My interest in Cross Stitch comes and goes, one year I will cross stitch like a maniac and then the next I have no interest in it at all. This year I have a renewed interest in cross stitch.

Here is a WIP shot.

and here is what it will look like by the end of the year (I hope).
