Another two in one and quick post before I fly out to USA for our annual vacation tomorrow morning.
As you know, for me travelling means a chance to participate in exchanges and swaps. This time I have participated in three small easy swaps.
First is cross stitch ATC swap on Instagram . The theme for this month is Blackwork. I have been meaning to try blackwork since last year and is one of my craft goal for this year. too The rules for this exchange are quite simple and the size of cross stitch ATC should be 3.5" * 2.5",which means it can be stitched in 1-2 days.
Here is what I have stitched for my partner , hope she likes it and doesn't see this post before she gets it..ha ha
I stitched this cute owl card for a personal swap on Instagram . This card was a cover kit given to me by Kerry in our biscornu exchange in July. I don't know why it took me more than a week to stitch this but atleast I wasn't a chicken this time and stitched the french knots.
Both these finishes qualify for Gifted Gorgeousness SAL & September Smalls Theme-tas-stitch 2017 SAL.
I have few other things to share with you but I will save it for later.
Thank you for your comments on my last post, I appreciate the time you ladies take out to visit my blog.
I have been in a weird mood where I read blogs but never comment, sorry for that.
I will try and leave comments after I'm back from holiday.
Till then stay safe my friends and happy crafting.
