Fuck If I Know: Awkward Cross Stitch Pattern:

So I’m coloring the cross stitch pattern I just got off Etsy and I come across this:

3772- Negro Flesh

At first I pronounced it the Spanish way, but after I read it out loud to my roommate and looked the number up in my thread, I realized that it is indeed, neegro. Negro flesh. What. The. Fuck.

Made this for my friend Cheyenne for a very belated graduation gift. She started college a year early and graduated in 3. And loves velociraptors.

And for those who hate when finished projects aren’t ironed, I don’t have one or even a vacuum in my apartment so give me a fucking break.

Pattern courtesy of Pixy Stitches! Greatest website for patterns when I don’t make my own.

Cross stitcher problems:

Running out of thread when you’re just a couple of stitches from the end.

But my project is done, FINALLY! I finished about half of it and then LOST it so had to start over and work furiously to get back to where I left off, then finish it in the time I alotted myself. Thank god for winter break.

Cross stitch iphone case #2! After my other phone was stolen I had to remake my case, probably the saddest part of it all. But I have to say, I LOVE this one and it was my first project since January now that the semester from hell is over!

iPhone Case

Sun, 25 Dec 2011 18:25:18 -0500

Got a new iPhone for Christmas! More importantly, though, I got the cross-stitch iPhone case!

Only problem is that I have NO idea what to put on it and it will take me forever to decide. It’s a light blue color so I don’t feel like any of my nerdy ideas (Doctor Who, HP) would work well with it. I want something cutesy, like hearts or birds or some cute pattern idk.

It’s 22X43, any ideas?

Something like this would’ve been perfect but it’s too big :(

Glee Cross-stitch for my friend Kelly is done! Added red fabric to the back which was a bitch but was a nice touch in the end. Pattern bought from this lovely lady:

And yes, I screwed up the colors on the hand, what else is new.

SO proud of this bookmark I made for my friend Lauren (nicknamed Laurange for her red hair). I designed it myself based on her (and mine, but mostly hers, and it was the reason we became friends in the first place) love for all things Andrew McMahon. It’s half Something Corporate and half Jack’s Mannequin, with the quote “the river is everywhere,” the one tattooed on Andrew and my roommate, on both sides. There’s the SoCo logo from their first album, the JM logo, “21 and invincible” for her 21st birthday (when she will be receiving it), 11:11 for our favourite song, and “This is a story…” from the cover of Everything in Transit.

Again, my creativity on this is just mindboggling.

Doctor Who Clock Cross Stitch, Is It Possible??

Wed, 02 Nov 2011 11:44:42 -0400

OK so I just found some websites showing how to make a freaking CLOCK out of a cross stitch pattern and I got giddy. THEN I remembered seeing a kind of clock prototype where each Doctor has a number and the 12 is the tardis. If I could somehow combine these two ideas, make a cross stitch pattern for a Doctor Who Clock, I would officially have to stop all crafting because nothing could top it. The only problem is, I suck at making patterns, and I don’t have the computer program to do so…

One can dream.

This one followed quickly after my first DW cross-stitch, inspired also by a design on Etsy, for my friends birthday because we both freaked out at this episode!

Not framed, but my first completed Doctor Who Cross Stitch! Pattern inspired by one I saw on Etsy but I drew it out myself on graph paper, because I am a poor college student.

Cross-stitch block?

Sun, 16 Oct 2011 13:38:00 -0400

I found all of these great patterns and have all of these wonderful ideas I want to stitch, but I don’t know which one to start with or what I want them to be (bookmark, pillow, potholder…). All of the ideas block each other out and now I don’t want to do any of them because it’s too hard to choose. But so many birthdays and CHRISTMAS is coming up, have to crank some of these out…

Just once I’d like to not make a mistake too late to fix on a project. Some are hardly noticeable to others, but it KILLS me every time.

Made this for my friend Greg’s 21st birthday, took forever, but he LOVES Scott Pilgrim and as soon as I found this pattern I knew I had to make it. I made the Gideon sign (G for Greg too!) myself and then, as it was finals time/time to move out of my dorm, I was given very little time to finish the Greg P. VS the World part, hence why I didn’t plan it better and I look drunk.

I made this for my friend Eric’s birthday. He likes to surf, and I made the surfboard UCLA colors because he is going to grad school then in the fall. The book says LOTR, and the quote is also from Lord of the Rings, one of his favorites plus my nickname for him is “the wanderer.” He also loves Star Wars (the lightsaber) and his favorite Disney character is the cheshire cat.

Made as a Christmas gift for my friend Kevan who works at the Apple store, I have to say I’m quite impressed with my creativity on this one.
