I don't think I've done cross stitch since I was about 10 years old, it's so interesting to go back and rediscover its charms! All that lovely repetitive stitching is wonderfully relaxing and I'm loving the challenge of how to render things in pixels.

I like them!
ReplyDeleteThey look great! I've not cross-stitched in ages . . . but you're right, it is very relaxing as you do the same movement again and over and again . . . !
ReplyDeleteLOL those are really cute. I do pixel conversions of video game things into cross stitch sometimes.
ReplyDeleteWill you make these into brooches?
Brilliant - and its cool to see the v. pretty flexihoop making an appearance (I still haven't decided what to do with mine...)
