For the month of May I didn't do a whole lot of cross-stitching. My hubby unexpectedly had surgery this past week and I just simply did not feel like working on my crafts in the couple of weeks leading up to the surgery. He came through the procedure on Tuesday, May 21, 2013 with flying colors and is doing well. He's been sleeping off and on throughout the days this week so I've had some time to work on my various WIPs. Though I don't have a lot to show for this month, here are my WIPocalypse updates.
1. "Cross Stitch Gold" Magazine's "A Day to Remember" card series by Durene Jones. I am stitching one of the six funky birds for a card design. The main portion of the bird is complete with only part of the back-stitching left to do. I hope to finish it very soon.

2.
"Cross Stitch Crazy" Magazine's "Crazy for...Dragons" pattern by Maria Diaz. I started this one last week on May 17th. I know, I know...another WIP! But I just couldn't resist. Maria's dragons are just sooooo darn cute! I picked out one to make for a birthday card and tweaked the colors just a bit. I know eventually I will probably make a couple more of these cuties, including the one shown in the title from the magazine.

Happy stitching until the June update on the 23rd!
Oh, I love that dragon. So cute!
ReplyDeleteThey are very cute! I definitely will have to do more than one. :-)
DeleteBoth of your projects look like such fun. That bird makes me smile with it's long tail feathers curling.
