Cross Stitch Coloured Blackwork

[badly_knitted]

Yay! I've managed to complete another set of designs! These ones are a mix of cross stitch and coloured blackwork, stitched on 14 count. The big ones were designed for bookmarks but I'll be making mine into birthday cards as I've got some tall, narrow card blanks that will fit them nicely. The two small ones will be gift tags.

Thank you! I made umpteen mistakes resulting in a lot of unpicking, but the end result is worth the effort!

Thank you! Not the easiest stitching I've ever done, but very effective.

Thank you! Tricky to do, but I love them, they're so cheerful!

Oh, I love bookmarks,and these are some lovely ones!

I'm going to make these into greeting cards though, I think they'll work well.

I do collect bookmarks, however *grins* I have hundreds.

Thank you!

An avid reader can never have too many bookmarks! :)

And I'm sure they'll work great as greeting cards too!

I have such total admiration for anyone who can do crafts!

I've been crafting one way or another for as long as I can remember, I just haven't had a lot of time for it in recent years, what with everything that's happened over the last eight years. It's good to get back into it. I was determined to this year, pushed hard with my writing so I completed the 250k I pledged for this year early in May in order to make time for crafting and gardening. I'm working on a set of cute bee designs now. =)

So true, bookmarks are almost as important as the books themselves. *looks at shelves full of books.
