Tag: are diy assorted cross stitch kits worth it
Happy spooky month! I feel like it’s now officially acceptable to start celebrating the Halloween season. Well, frankly, Halloween isn’t that huge in the UK, to my surprise. Still, there are some seasonal sweets and home decorations in the stores, and I enjoy a holiday period, no matter the holiday! So naturally, in October, I usually like to do some Halloween themed crafts or cook themed recipes. This time, I completed a mini cross stitch project featuring a skull with colourful flowers. Probably more in the style of Dia de los Muertes rather than Halloween, but the two are celebrated at the same time of year. So, here’s the first of this year’s Halloween DIY projects!

My cross stitching journey continues, with no end in sight. Who would have thought that a tiny cross stitch kit that I bought a couple of years ago – and found immensely confusing at the start – would turn into a huge hobby of mine?

I followed a pattern from an assorted DIY kit, but you can use this idea to inspire your own cross stitched bookmark.

The winter days are still long and cold, and there’s nothing better than a cosy evening with a cup of tea and a DIY project. For that reason, I’ve managed to complete quite a few cross stitch projects lately. The one I’m going to share with you today features a golden llama. I’m not sure it was meant to turn out that way, since on the packaging it looks more light beige, but it’s not the first time that yarn colours of an assorted cross stitch kit are a bit off. Either way, I enjoyed a couple of relaxing evenings while cross stitching the llama, and the design turned out pretty cute!
