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!

With Christmas just around the corner, I’ve been enjoying festive crafts recently. One of the projects I worked on was a cross stitch image featuring a car carrying a decorated Christmas Tree. I’ve completed numerous cross stitch projects over the past year, but this time, it didn’t go to plan. In fact, I have to call it the worst assorted DIY kit I’ve ever seen! I managed to save the day in the end, but the process was far from a relaxing journey. Phew!

This year, one of my greatest hobbies has been cross stitching. I’ve completed numerous projects and especially loved working on seasonal designs for Easter and Halloween. So now, in the run up to Christmas, I obviously had to find some time in between baking and gift shopping to do some Christmassy cross stitching! This time, I completed a cute mini design featuring Santa Claus with his large gift bag.

With the spooky season officially here, it was time to finally do some Halloween crafts. And what could I have chosen if not a cross stitching project, with sewing being my main hobby this year? I found this cute scarecrow design in TKMaxx and it was too good not to buy. With a small wobble on the way, I soon had a finished scarecrow ready for the spooky times.

My cross stitching journey continues, and the latest chapter was a memorable one for sure. Octopuses – or octopi – have a special place in my heart due to work related reasons and when I saw a cross stitch kit featuring an octopus, I didn’t think twice – I had to get it. Slowly but surely, I sewed through the design. It was probably the most exhausting and time consuming project I’ve worked on so far, and placing the final stitches tasted sweeter than ever. Here’s how my most recent cross stitching adventure went.

Oops, I did it again! I finished yet another cross stitch project. It seems like 2024 will go down as the one when I cross stitched through my spare time. This time, I completed a mini kit with a unicorn design. Simple, but cute. A always, I enjoyed my time cross stitching during some rainy afternoons (we’ve had quite a few of those in London recently)!

If you thought I’d be done with cross stitching by now, surprise! My addiction continues strong as ever. This time, I completed probably the quickest design to date – a cute flamingo. With just four colours and a straightforward design, it only took me one afternoon to complete.

Surprise surprise! I’ve completed yet another cross stitch project – who would have thought, right? A few months have passed since I found this new hobby and I’m still thoroughly enjoying it. I even managed to infect my sister with this cross stitching bug, and now we’re stitching together! I flew back home for Easter holidays and my sister surprised me with a cross stitch kit that she had bought for me, and it was a perfect project for the holiday period. Let me present my latest completed cross stitch project – a vibrant hummingbird.

Hey stitching pals! So, after completing the fox and cactus mini cross stitch projects, I recently embarked on another cross stitch journey. Armed with a kit depicting two vibrant parrots nestled amongst blooming flowers, I dove headfirst into the world of intricate stitching. Let me tell you, it was a rollercoaster ride of colours, challenges, and a heartbreaking loss (RIP, beloved threader).
