Wolf's Craftstravaganza - Page 3

I haven't bought any recently, so I don't have to scold myself over it yet.

I have enough craft kits and spare floss to last until well after Armageddon (in between battles with fur-wearing bikers that roll in from the wastelands).

girl, just gotta say, outstanding work, and i never would have thunk it. great work!

A three-fer today to make up for the fact that I'm slacking through the holiday (attending powwow two out of the three days cuts into my online time). Remember how I mentioned earlier that if a television, movie, cartoon, or advertising character develops enough of a following, someone designs a cross stitch for it? Remember these guys?

Bah, you young whippersnappers think you know it all.
I wasn't always a raisin, you know.
I was a grape,..a damn fine plump grape too,....and then....
I heard it through the grapevine, not much longer would you be mine.
Oo, I heard it through the grapevine, and I'm just about to lose my mind.
Honey, honey yeah.
You know that a man ain't supposed to cry, but these tears I can't hold inside.
Losin' you would end my life you see, 'cause you mean that much to me.
You could have told me yourself that you found someone else.
Instead,
People say you "Hear from what you see, na na not from what you hear."
I can't help bein' confused; if it's true, won't you tell me dear?
Do you plan to let me go for the other guy that you knew before?Oo,

Here's a pair of fantasy creatures that should be framed and hung together.

xoxoxoBruce · 06-01-2004, 04:43 PM

Much nicer than those New Hope mules.

wolf · 06-02-2004, 09:06 AM

Victorian Skaters. I found this pattern in a cross stitch magazine. It should be in a round frame.

wolf · 06-05-2004, 01:39 AM

I've been a bit lax in posting, so a two-fer for tonight.

The first one needs a bit of ironing ...

But his faithful companion is quite crisp.

xoxoxoBruce · 06-05-2004, 07:45 AM

How big are the Peanuts characters?

wolf · 06-05-2004, 10:52 AM

In honor of the final jewel of the Triple Crown to be run later today ...

This isn't Smarty Jones, but most bay thorobreds look alike.

The Charlie Brown is 6" X4", Snoopy is 6" X 3".

My intention is to matte them and use 8" X 5" frames.

The kits actually came with precut mattes, which I have around here somewhere ...

Another from my "Equine Period".

This one is an Arabian.

The fabric colors of the two horses are similar but not identical. If I ever get these framed they will have to hang separately so nobody notices that.

Bwahahahahahaha, I can relate to that.

wolf · 06-06-2004, 05:24 PM

Gotcha. I actually tried finding the original packaging, which is hiding, so that I could just read the numbers off it rather than have to get the Big Box of Stitchery out of the closet and also find a damn ruler.

Luckily I had left the dragon guarding the ruler, so that was easier to find.

I'm really impressed! I bought a Bert and Ernie cross stitch kit about 7 years ago and I still haven't finished it. I found the half done bit of Bert's head a few years ago and started working on it again. I was having such a great time working on it that I got this grand idea that I would cross stitch something for everyone at Christmas.

Yeah, that didn't happen and Ernie and Bert are still not done.

If you get to doing the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, please post them - I bet those are cool!
