Hello everyone,
How are you all on this wet cold snowy day here in the UK? well we don't have allot of snow it is only sleet mixed with rain. So because it is to cold to go for a walk I thought I would stay in and keep dry, Mr C is watching Winter Olympics and I am sat in a cosy corner of my craft room ready to start sewing.
Just before I do that I will show you one finish and a couple of new starts for cross stitching.
In the March issue 2018 of Cross Stitch Crazy magazine there is a free Bird in a teacup card kit by Durene Jones here is a link to her Etsy shop and instead of using mine as a card I have put it on the front of one of my old journals.
I think it works a treat but I have just noticed I have not stuck it in between the spots very well whoops! it's for me it won't matter.
The next new cross stitch project is the mini black cat designs from my blog friend Lynn B at
Happiness Is Cross Stitching
Lynn has started mini black cat patterns for each month and at the end it will make a lovely calendar to display on the wall pop on over to Lynn's and find more details about the series.
I have some 18count Aida in my stash which may not be everyone choice but it works for me and I will be choosing my own colours.
That's not all I also have this winter house cross stitch pattern I will be stitching to.
I purchased this last year so it is about time I made a start on this one before summer comes. The pattern is from Tiny Modernist by Cheryl Mackinnon you can download PDF patterns from her site.
I am using blue 14 count Zweigart fabric which was in my stash and not the one suggested on the pattern, I like to use what I have where possible if it works which it dose so I am happy with that.
Well that is all for now, till next time happy stitching or knitting everyone.

The bird in a teacup cross stitch looks lovely on your journal. My family in England has been sharing photos of the recent snow storm over there. Wow, what a lot they got. Stay safe and warm.
