Cross stitch

Well its been a few months and then some into this is single parenting I now call life and things are very quiet on this blog space while I took time to regroup and focus on getting the boys and I thru the separation as painlessly as possible. There are an overwhelming amount of things to sort when going thru a separation especially if you have assets and kids so I needed a mindfulness activity to take my mind off the stress of daily life. I hadn't done cross stitch in forever so I took that up again over the Christmas break. Im sharing some of my creations.

This Poop cross stitch has to be a favourite of my potty mouthed 7 year old. I bought the pattern off Etsy.

I recently found these two Bunnykins cross stitches I sewed back in my high school days stored in boxes of craft, I wish I had the bedtime one in the room when the boys were babies its so sweet. Im bringing these out as decorations every Easter.

Speaking of Easter I was sewing reusable Easter tags this year but decided the Yoshi one was better suited to a frame above Kobes bed instead.

And finally a nice little keepsake card for a friend who had a baby recently. Incase your wondering I used the leftover hessian from making my lounge covers to sew the pictures onto. Waste not want not.

Next up is a Super Mario themed pj bag for Kobe, a Gumby pj bag for Dylan and a zombie cross stitch for a friends house warming.

Love to hear what your doing for your mindful activity or creating? Comment below.

Happy Friday friends!!
