Trumpeter Swan – New Cross Stitch Pattern

/ stitchesandquills / Leave a comment

The Trumpeter Swan is the largest of all North American Swan species with a wingspan of 185 to 250 cm, so it is the heaviest flying bird in the world. We have smaller Swans in Eurasia like Whooper Swan or Tundra Swan and some authorities considered them as the same species. The adult Trumpeter Swan’s plumage is entirely white, cygnets are usually pale grey. They are loud with their cry sounding similar to a trumpet, which gave the bird its name. Like other Swans, they often mate for life and if his mate dies, a male Trumpeter Swan may not pair again for the rest of his life. As I know, these big, palatial birds are the symbol of marital fidelity in cross-stitching, so stitchers often choose them as a gift for a wedding.

Slavic Horoscope

So, we have a new Slavic Horoscope Sign – Beaver.

Beaver is a hardworkiing man, knows how to arrange his life, comfortable not only for him, but also for his loved ones. These people do not chase career heights, but despite the lack of aspiration, not bad succeed in life.

Beavers – singles, although for his family and children do a lot. They have a little friends, but Beavers value friendship and can help those who are in trouble. Usually these people are very rare to attract attention to themselves, although from time to time they like to give advice to others, which irritates loved ones. With age, beavers become even more withdrawn than in the active period of their lives, they love privacy, do not seek to communicate and travel.

For all Beavers, family, practical interests and material security come first, although they are rarely capable of intrigue to achieve their goal and someone to get around. They are silent, they rarely have a sense of humor, but friends appreciate their support and ability to come to help in any situation.

Dogs in Crosstitch

There are two Dog cross stitch patterns at our shop. One of them is new and this is Cane Corso, often called Sicilian Branchiero, counted cross stitch chart. These dogs are not only smart, intelligent and trainable, but assertive and confident at the same time. Cane Corso is a peerless protector. The Corso’s lineage goes back to ancient Roman times, and the breed’s name roughly translates from the Latin as “bodyguard dog.” They are loyal to their human but also assertive and willful, and can end up owning an unwitting owner, so responsible breeding and early socialization with people and other dogs is vital.

The second dog in stitches at the shop is Russian Greyhound or Russian Borzoi – coursing and hunting dog. Which one do you like more?
