For the Boys/Men at Craft Rocket

Hello again everyone, it's time for a new monthly challenge at Craft Rocket.  Our theme this month isFor the Boys/Men.

I've stitched this sailboat for my Father-in-Law as he used to do a bit of sailing.  I was going to tie the baker's twine in the middle with a bow with it stretched tight but when I laid it in the card I quite liked how it looked like waves so I left it.

Add a Charm at Unicorn

Good morning everyone, it's time for a new monthly challnge at Unicorn.  Our theme this time is Add a Charm.

I've used some embosssed card from my stash to cover a gift tag card then cut a circle in the middle using a die.  I put a smaller circle of silver in the middle and dangled my snowglake charm on some silver thread.  Finally I added a ribbon.

I think this is quite elegant and I'm really pleased with how it turned out!

At The Beach at Unicorn

Good morning everyone, it's time for a new monthly challnge at Unicorn.  Our theme this time is At The Beach.

I've stitched this image of Durdle Door for my father-in-law's birthday.  It's stiched 2 over 2 on 28 count evenweave using the recommended DMC threads.  The peel off sentiment is from my stash and I made the aperture card myself.

I'm quite pleased with how this turned out, it's not a brilliant picture but I've added some wadding behind the stitching so it really stands out.

Stitching at Unicorn

Good morning everyone, it's time for a new monthly challnge at Unicorn.  Our theme this time is Stitching, real or faux.

I've made this card using perforated paper.  The chart is from Spring Cross Stitch Favourites 2015 and is stiched 2 over 1 using the recommended DMC threads,  I like stitching on paper but you have to be careful how you carry threads so they don't show through on the back.
