Wake up and be awesome, rooster crowing cross stitch design

Cross stitch with grid

Thread numbers

Hello everyone,

I hope you like this design today. It is based on a sketch by a friend who wanted to make a new take on the phrase Wake up and be awesome. I love this idea as a rooster is an ultimate sign to wake up as they would crow at the dawn being natures alarm clock. Though being a city dweller I just leave my bedroom curtains open so that the sun can wake me up naturally. :) 

I designed this with very few colours as the challenge was to make it mostly back and white. But I thought I would add colour to the rooster and around the motovational phrase to give it some oomph in the design. 

Anyway I hope you have fun stitching this, 

Much love and happy stitching

Hello everyone,

This design was inspired by a very special litte boy. He has medical difficulties throughout his life but strives to be positive every day. This Phrase, Wake up and be awesome is one of his favorite phrases. I love this phrase as it inspires several things including to start the day as you wish to go on. Get up, stretch and proceed to be awesome in everything you do. It is a brilliant positive phrase which I find inspiring so I hope it will inspire you too. Its something so simple but powerful at the same time if you think about it. 

If you don't have the exact threads don't worry just go for this design with whatever colors you think feels right as sunsets are all sorts of colours after all. nature provides us with a different display every day. 

Much Love and happy stitching

Hello everyone, 

Today I have a space themed cross stitch for you. These can be used as individual motifs or all together as one big stitch. I designed this with a space mad child in mind. When I was a child I was fascinated with space, I had those glow in the dark stars and made sure to place them on my ceiling in the shape of constellations so I could practice spotting them before I sleep. I even had a scientific star chart on my wall to Make sure I could correctly identify all constellations in the northern hemisphere.

So this chart is for all the kids like I was who loved to learn about space.

Bee Happy cross stitch design

Hello everyone,

I thought it would be time to draw a nice colourful and summery design. This could be a fun decoration, a gift or a large card for someone special.

Stitchers note: Stitchers can use either 1 or two strands of thread for the back stitch. 1 strand will produce a more delicate design while two will be thicker and bolder

Theres no need to stick to the exact colours for the flowers, feel free to pick your favourites or just some pretty colours if your bits and bobs stash.

Much love and happy Stitching

Gemma

Candle cross stitch design for Birthday cards

Candle cross stitch design for Birthday cards

Hello everyone

Today I thought I'd share with you all a small design of a candle. This design would be nice for birthday cards of course please feel free to change up the candles colours, maybe pick a colour to compliment the card you have chosen or the favourite colours of the birthday person.

This design is small so can also be used for a gift tag as something a little different to the usual gift tags or for a small envelope to present a gift tag inside.
With it being quick to sew I think I'll see about sewing this design on a few spare scraps of fabric to make some extra cards to sell for charity. :)

Colour	Anchor	DMC
Off white	1037	3756
Black (used only for backstitch)	403	310

Note: You do not need to stick to my thread number recommendation, an off-white or very pale yellow shade would work for this design

 This is designed to be stitched on black aida, you can stitch all the black if you like but I would not recommend it as there is a lot of it.

Hello everyone,

I found a request for the Lovers of Valdario cross stitch design on one of my favourite cross stitch related Facebook pages. I'd like to say I hopped right to it but ended up spending a hour researching this fascinating historical burial.
These two skeletons are dated at approximately 6,000 years old found in a tomb near Mantua. The thing that fascinates people about them is that they appear to have died or have been buried in a lovers embrace holding each other even in death.
The pair are now displayed in the National Archaeological Museum of Mantua on display to the public.

I can't decide if this design should go in the Halloween category as it is skeletons or the Valentines category as some people consider the Lovers as symbols of eternal love so I'll put it in both categories.

Hello everyone,

Today I thought I'd share a fun cross stitch design of a pretty orange tailed mermaid, perfect for a fantasy lovers bedroom as a cushion or in a cute frame.
To add a little sparkle why not try replacing one of the yellows in the scales with a metallic gold thread?

I wanted to do a nice fantasy design which did not revolve around pink as you see that a lot on fantasy cross stitch so this made a nice change.
I have a few more ideas for mermaid designs so if you like to stitch fish tailed friends then keep checking back.
