Don't Sh*t Your Pants card

My boyfriend and his youngest brother certainly share the same kind of humour. There is an online game called Don't Shit Your Pants which they both find hilarious. The aim is as the title says. There are several endings, one of them being pooing on the floor. Michael thought this would be a great image for his brother's birthday card and asked me to cross stitch it.

On a more civilised note, this is a small piece I'm working on now. It is a free alphabet by La-D-Da and is being stitched on Zweigart Cashel, with Nina's Threads Cherry Cola.

Don't forget to enter my giveaway, it ends tomorrow!

Robot Santa.

This week at work saw one of our colleagues from a higher department come back over from the UK for a week to give us some extra training. We decided to give them a little thank you present for the support they've been giving us while our team starts up, and I said I'd make them a Christmas card.

I've been trying to do some of my own designs, and this one started out as an idea for a Valentines card.

I think it went down quite well, and I'm quite happy with it, considering I made a lot up while actually stitching.

Christmas cards & Pokémon cards

I finally finished my second Christmas card stitch.

It took me a while because my second week at work was very tough, not really work-wise, but just the travelling and getting up early was making me very tired.

I've been spending some of my hard earned cash. I bought some stitching supplies, I finally got the threads for the Autumn Fab Fob. I also got a Wacom Bamboo Pen tablet, I hope that this will help with my pattern making.

It is so much fun to play with and I can't wait to have some time to use it properly.

My boyfriend and I went on our weekly trip to the comic book shop on Friday evening and I came across these:

If you don't know what they are, well, they are Pokémon trading card decks, and about 10 years old. Two of the decks are actually still sealed. I've still got four more decks waiting for me at the comic book shop. I was so excited when I saw these.

Work is going well, we've finished the training now, and we'll be starting taking calls on Monday.

I hope I'll be able to update more in the future.

First Christmas card.

This is what I've been working on my train journeys to and from work. It's going to be my first Christmas card of the year once I find some good card.

It is a design by Gail Bussi from issue 244 of Cross Stitcher. Though the pattern only calls for DMC349 I used DMC702 as well because I thought the red looked a bit dull on the opalescent fabric I used.

I'm looking forward to a new week of work, though not the travelling.

Happy stitching!

26 followers!

Yay, I'm totally excited about this. I was at 22 followers for quite a while and suddenly it shot up! Welcome!

My mojo's come back a bit. I haven't quite felt like working on Dragon or Klimt, but I did a couple of birthday cards, one of which I didn't photograph before it was sent off, but the other is below:

I know it's not very festive, but it is for an older lady and I don't really know her, but I thought I should make her a card as I'm going to her party. The design comes from a DMC alphabet mini kit.

I've done a bit more on Pokémon as well.

My photographs today are even worse than usual because my camera's batteries run out so I had to borrow another (my camera needs four AAs and we could only find two that worked), and I'm not used to it at all. That will teach me for being a cheap-arse and not buying the Duracels. My last set of batteries worked for years, these lasted less than a month. ¬_¬'
