Cross-Stitch

I have been doing cross-stitch for more than ten years by now, but today I realised I did not keep track of my creations. Here you can see a few of the ones I have done over the years.

The Cotton Camels Logo!

A proper page needs a proper logo: I wanted something special for this one, so I decided to cross-stitch it!

I have created the pattern myself using a free website online ( https://flosscross.com/ ) and little by little, stitch after stitch, I embroidered it.. Then, I put it in a frame, and from now on I will make sure it will always appear whenever I take a picture of my new creations! If I ever start joining a maker's market, I will surely bring it with me.

I took a picture of it, removed the background and I used it to create the logo ( the one at the top of the page). The next step ( hopefully soon) will be to create some business cards, with the logo on them!

A cross-stitch painting

This is basically a painting! It took me three full years to do it, but I like it a lot and it's now hung on the wall.

The four gentlemen flowers

I bought these 4 cross-stitch patterns in China. The flowers are typical of Asian culture: plum blossom, orchid, bamboo, and chrysanthemum. I really enjoyed making these and I hung them together.

The cat Advent calendar

Cats are my favorite animals (even before camels) and when I saw these patterns, I could not resist. At least now I don't need to buy an Advent calendar every year - only the chocolates!
