Cross-stitch cafe 2010

Ruth_honey

Well, I'm 2/3rd's of the way to completing my May challenge!

I wanted to finish stitching the 'Everyone Brings Joy' chart-which I did! :T
I also wanted to wash & finish the backstitch on the Golden Gate Bridge kit. It's currently on a towel by the back door, drying. I doubt it'll be dry by tonight though, so I might have to finish that part of the challenge tomorrow. I'm please with what I achieved, though. My husband liked the chart I stitched for him. Not got around to chosing a frame yet. I'm sure I've got something suitable to use somewhere in the house (or garage!).

I washed 3 other finished kits while the bath had water in. The tulip vase, a christmas cat one and the spool tree. I will try and sort out frames for these this week, as a little collection of unframed kits was starting to build. I have no idea where I'm going to hang all of these!!! I have the 4 Lizze Kate Seasons that I stitched for Grandma to iron and pop into the frames (they're all cut to size already). They need to be hung together somewhere, but I'm running out of wall space. :rotfl: Oh well...

I can't start my June challenge just yet, as I haven't got the material & threads through, so I might start prepping for my brothers christmas pressie. He's very into Banksy and there's a good site with some urban cross stitch kits and they were on sale, so Mum & I bought a few kits to do for him. I've got Balloon Girl to do. http://www.urban-cross-stitch.com/SALEurbancrossstitchlargekits.htm
