Hello everyone,

Its been a while since I posted, unfortunately work and other life matters had taken up most of the time I would spend cross stitch designing. So heres a cross stitch design of a pair of seahorses for all of you now I finally found one evening to sit down and draw. 

While researching seahorse I found that some species can come in a lovely shade of orange but also shades of yellow, blues and purples. So I decided to mix up a vibrant shade of blue with the orange in this design. Since seahorses can be such a vibrant animal and come in so many variations this design can be stitched in such a variety of colours you can pick your favourites for it. 

So this is a nice easy stitch for the end of summer. One of the seashorses from the pair could be used on its own for a smaller stitch or swap out the second seahorse for a collection of your favourite sea themed motifs. I may try it out with a few colourful seashells or some small tropical fish.

Hello everyone,
Its a suprisingly sunny week this week so I thought I'd draw a nice cooling ice cream sundae. Oh man I really want an ice cream now but no I must resist I am trying to get a beach body!

Oh what the hey, my beach body can just be however I enter the beach. I mean I will be a body on the beach, it doesn't matter what size it is (unless I guess I take up the entire beach which I think is impossible) Im sure a few ice creams won't make THAT much of a difference right?

I wish cross stitching burned a whole bunch of calories. If it did I'd be a supermodel by now! tee hee

Hello everyone,

I thought I would continue with the theme of ice creams since its still the Summer Holidays here in the UK. Its been great weather for walks and I have noticed the ice cream vans out in full force.

This particular ice cream is chocolate but you can simply swap out the colours, perhaps a nice green for mint ice cream or a lovely pink for strawberry ice cream.

I think this design would look brilliant on a summer fun bag for pic nics or beach trips or even on a t shirt. Though be careful not to spill your summer ice cream on your nice stitching. :)

Hello Everyone
Recently I went to Skegness comicon and while it was only a small event with a few guests loads of people showed up for the day. After visiting the Convention I decided to walk along the beach and visit the Arcades.
Of course this gave me a few ideas for Sea side themed cross stitch designs but I really wanted to start off with some tasty ice cream since it was such a hot day that a scoop or two was definitely appreciated.

Hello everyone,

Since its the summer holidays this week I thought I'd share a cute and easy sun motif. With whole stitches  only and two colours this design is really quick to sew. Imagine it would make a super cute patch for a number of holiday bags, like your sunglasses case or an identifying tag for your beach tote.

 

A few weeks ago my lovely boyfriend and I went to the beach, it was a lovely sunny day. Being of a very pale complexion my boyfriend smothered me in sun cream every hour. I told him it may be a little bit overkill but I carried on to the sand anyway.

I think I proved him right when I came off of the beach caked in sand. I think I looked like a breaded piece of chicken but with sand instead of bread. It took ages to wash off but on the brighter side I did not get burnt. :s
