Now that Christmas is over I can put up a few pictures of the cross-stitch tea towel/table runner that I made for my parents to use on their boat. I chose an assortment of whales, dolphins and colourful fish from a cool cross-stitch pattern book full of sea creatures. The book is a DMC special edition called 'Seaside/Bord de mer' which has more than 300 designs that are all related to the ocean/seaside...I think I found it at Spotlight several years ago. As you can see from the photos, Puss n Boots tried their hardest to be involved in the making of the project.
This morning (01/01/2011) it seemed like a good time to go through my stash of un-finished craft projects, triage them, and decide on a plan of action to complete as many as possible as well as preparing for a few new projects I have in mind. Two friends are expecting babies in the next few months, so I would like to make something homemade for each of them, plus I have 2 scarfs in progress for gifts, 2 other baby clothes in progress to keep for the future, and the crochet blanket that I am slowly working on in between everything else. I have now completed 17 granny squares for the crochet blanket, probably 100+ to go...I'm not sure whether to start stitching them together or to just leave them all as squares until I have enough to assemble an entire blanket.
