Shipping

This finished cross-stitch picture goes to the USA, NY, Depew tomorrow morning (because my Post Office is closed on Sundays). This Mouse was stitched by our counted cross stitch pattern “Summer Mouse on a Raspberry”. I had four stitched mouse pictures in Stitchersland on Etsy: summer, autumn, winter, and spring. Winter Mouse is in the USA, VA. Now I have only two completed pictures in the shop. By the way, Autumn Mouse is my favourite. What about yours?

I also add a small gift for a Mouse lover to this order. It is cross-stitched postcard by Lucie Heaton pattern. It is so sweet, isn’t it?

New Pattern

The solution to yesterday’s sneak peek is a new cross stitch pattern at Stitchersland now. Bullfinches on Blackthorn from the winter birds series.

What is more, I would like to remind you that we have other Bullfinches patterns and not only winter ones but also autumn and summer bullfinches. Which one is your favourite?

New Collar

New Vintage style collar at LaceCrochetFinds this weekend. I did it! The hardest part was ironing the collar after the wash and getting all the creases into place. I even lightly starched it to keep it in shape. Once again, I am convinced that knitting a piece is the easiest thing.

Cross Stitch Supply

The next kit I would like to show you produced in Russia, in the city of Veliky Novgorod by M.P.Studia. The designer is Angelika Ivanova. The kit has no name, but we call it Blue Cats. The kit includes a colour chart, “Gamma” mouline threads (32 colours), 18-count white Aida fabric, and a needle. I started stitching this kit a long time ago, but I didn’t go for the colour pattern (although I prefer coloured charts, this does not suit me). I didn’t enjoy the canvas is too stiff; I wasn’t fond of the threads (I used to DMC), so I often had to rip crosses put, and I decided to put this set for later. I don’t know when that later will come.

Orange Poppy Garland

Yesterday a customer asked me if I could crochet orange poppies garland. Of course, I could. However, I decided to check what colours poppies can be. I was shocked: in nature, poppies can be white (Islandic poppies), yellow, orange, red, and purple. I think it’s worth crocheting the garland in each colour so my customer could choose the bunting by their preferences and home decor.
