I'm am generally not an "out of the box" type of thinker when it comes to finishing off my stitching, but every now and then I get inspired. I was working on this Halloween design, by Tiny Modernist, and while I was at work I passed by some unfinished Halloween decorations, and there was a pumpkin. They had all different shapes, and the back opens so you can put things in it, like a shadow box. I thought it would be perfect for the pumpkin I was working on. I pinned my fabric around acid free foam core, painted the shadow box, added a cute bat, and I have a new Halloween decoration!
I make cross stitched jewelry, and my niece saw my panda necklace, and asked if I could make one for her. I told her I would do it for her birthday, which is at the end of September. I found the panda earrings to go with it on Amazon. Really cute for a little one turning 8!
The original chart, from OhMyStitches on Etsy, said "stay home and craft," but I changed it to better suite me.
Is there anything I can do to protect the inside of the stitch job? Like an adhesive layer?
I time how long I work on a WIP. My biggest one here reached the 600 mark. So happy with how it looks already PATTERN: the Reader from cross stitch collectibles
