I'm Back!

Since February I haven't been all that productive in my cross stitching life. However after getting into a routine with school and forcing myself to relax when I get home I have managed to balance work and play. School is coming to an end in April, and I am really sad about that! I have met some wonderful people in that class and I enjoy going to class every day.

About 2 weeks ago I sat down and felt like designing a cross stitch pattern. I haven't done that often but I am going to set a goal of designing one per month from here on out. I need to do something creative or else I will go stir crazy.

I love the colors in this pattern. They go so well together and they remind me of spring and tea parties! Each dress has their own personal details. Of course there are beads and Krienik in them, it wouldn't be one of my designs without any! Here they are all stitched up with the beads:

They are stitched on 32 count Mushroom. Very antique looking almost. I will probably put them into a small frame sometime later this month. I just adore them!

Birdhouse Update

Well I haven't had much time to work on the birdhouse because I have been distracted by activities going on in my dorms and looking for a job. No such luck on the job hunting though so I am just finding other ways to make money by designing my own cross stitchings, I will post a picture a little later of how far I have gotten on one of my cross stitch designs. I need to make my way to the store in the next few days to pick up some more DMC colours since I seem to be missing some for the birdhouse I am working on. I have a bad habit of high-jacking threads from one project for another! Here is the most recent update of the birdhouse:
