Completed Cross Stitch - Gloria and Pat's "The Grizzly Bear" - Endangered Young'uns

Another Gloria and Pat design, "The Grizzly Bear" and yup, I "smooshed" this one into a frame too! I have made about 3 other G & P designs in this series and gave them away as presents and never took a photo. Digital photography wasn't much of a reality at the time I made a lot of the gifts but I would love to see what I made again though....*sigh*

Completed Cross Stitch - Gloria and Pat's "The Lion" - Endangered Young'uns

Gloria & Pat's "The Lion". I "smooshed" this into a wee little frame myself. I have no clue how to frame or stretch cross stitch. Michael's was looking for a part-time framer and the last time I dropped off some items to get framed they asked me if I wanted a job and told me they would teach me. Since I work full-time, I wasn't jumping up and down with joy to work an extra two days a week but in hindsight...I would have learned something very useful I need..doh!

Completed Cross Stitch - Dragon with wings and crystal ball

I own the world's smallest dragon and here he is in cross stitch.

I think this design is about 2" in width. I'm guessing though..

Found this one out of a magazine too.

Completed Cross Stitch - Gloria and Pat's "The Wolf" - Endangered Young'uns

Ah! Another G & Pat design...  The interesting thing about this dyed fabric is that I thought it was way too dark the first time I set it and bleached it light and was ready to toss it because I felt I kept messing it up.

I held on to the fabric and experimented putting this design on it. It didn't come out too bad except I wish I would have moved the moon more into the dark part of the fabric.

What do you think?

Completed Cross Stitch - Bunny - "Think Spring"

 

Found this pattern in a magazine and thought it was very cute and simple. Sometime after I finished this project, I found a stuffed animal bunny rabbit that matched the picture perfectly. Was I looking for a stuffed animal to match the picture? Um..no but I have the stuffed animal always near the picture and probably wouldn't like this "Think Spring" half as much without it though...funny how things work out huh?
