And a custom wedding guy for this chickie using these colors:
The wedding's not until November so no picture will you see! You can click here though to see an example. :)
I also recently started The Big Bang Theory pattern for my FIL.
Kinda reminds me of that part in Back to the Future where homeboy's family starts disappearing from the picture in his wallet. :) Here's what it will look like once finished:

Umm...
And, the piece de resistance:

I also found some patterns that are a bit more, shall we say, mainstream that the above mentioned ones. Some of my new favorites are:

I also really love these tree patterns from Charlotte Alexander. I'm a sucker for the symbolism- and aesthetic beauty- of trees and think these guys would look great in a nice long frame with a thick matte.

And, speaking of trees, how cute is this?!

And, finally, my new latest obsession, BABUSHKA DOLLS!!! These guys are making a great come back and I kinda want to deck my whole house out in them. I'll restrain, but you could certainly get on my good side by buying these for me. :) Anywho, take a look at this ridiculously cute pattern from Cupcake Cutie.

So, though my first love of cross stitch patterns will always be Wee Little Stitches, turns out there are LOTS of other cute ones! And remember, for every pattern you buy from one of the shops featured on this page, an angel gets their wings. :)
You are making want to search through all the boxes in my parents' garage for the cross stitch kit I know I haven't looked at since I was about 12! There are some awesome patterns about these days!
ReplyDeleteSo fun! I think the truck one is a reference to Arrested Development and the Bluth truck with stairs. Do you know that show? If not, you should. It's a riot!
ReplyDeleteOmg, do you not know Arrested Development? STOP what you are doing right now and watch it all. Sofa king funny. Also, I love Russian dollies too. And your cross stitch. I don't have the patience for it all. I miss count.
ReplyDeleteFeel free to make me a babushka any day!!! I have a slight love affair with them...
ReplyDeleteLovely lovely. I have the Golden Girls pattern and am hoping to stitch it up this fall. Yours looks wonderful! I really like all the great cross stitch patterns around, there's some really clever stuff!
ReplyDeleteLOL, yep, it's an Arrested Development reference -- and you should definitely check it out if you like funny things, particularly since season 4 is coming to Netflix soon(ish). But only if you like funny things.
ReplyDeleteI also love Charlotte Alexander's seasonal trees...I have visions of owning a living space one day that's NOT covered in Goodwill secondhand art, where I have one nail that will hold a seasonally relevant tree, and I will be SO GOOD at switching them at exactly the right time to make everyone feels "it's officially fall now." But I'm pretty sure that's the definition of a pipe dream.
