Hope all my dear blogger friends and your families are safe and healthy. I am sure all of us are using this time to learn new things, or tick off things from our bucket list, or just be and take things easy
We are in the 4th phase of lock-down now, Lock-down 4.0 as it's popularly known! I have stepped out exactly twice ever since the lock-down began. We have been ordering most of the essentials online and the husband goes out once in 10 days
Apart from cooking and learning new recipes, I have been able to stitch a lot more. What with no 3 hour daily commute!!
Let me quickly take you through my finishes
Here's the Rose book mark - stitched and finished up too. This was supposed to be a birthday gift for my daughter, which falls in August. Normally, if I had started this in March I would have finished this probably in time for her birthday, or maybe even later. But now, I was able to stitch and finish this up too
This is the finished up picture. The picture on the right shows the back. I simply could not resist clicking this.
This is the finished bookmark. As the size of the stitched piece itself is quite big, I did not want to add much to the backing and increase it further. So, used thick handmade paper. I think the finishing could have been much more neater
Next up is Lizzie Kate's sweet summer
I had stitched this back in September 2018 and finally got to finishing this up. Followed the finishing instructions as per the kit. The cording is from Michael's. I am pretty happy with how this has turned out
Best part of the lockdown is that, my daughter too has taken to cross stitching now!! Isn't that great. Our dear friend Meari had very kindly sent a starter kit last year.
V finished this and simply loved stitching this. Then she asked me if I will share supplies with her from my stash. Wasn't I glad to hear this. Also, more excuse for us to shop :)
She then found this cute little pattern on Pinterest and badgered me to give her the supplies
The colors are nice and bright. We finished this up as a fridge magnet
We have quite a bit of Orts this month, from all that stitching.
The lose Orts are from this month and the jar is year-to-date
