Each needlewoman knows that pin cushion is a very important and very practice thing, and that is why doesn’t spare time and efforts to make it unique and original. Surely, one can find a bunch of pin cushion ideas surfing the internet but I’ve decided to replenish this great collection with my own modest contribution. 
Christmas is not arriving yet, but I noticed that the Inimitable snowflakes
pattern I published nearly a year ago has already become the most viewed one.
That is why I’ve decided to prepare a new cross-stitch pattern with snowflakes;
this time two-colored and more simple so that even embroiderers with just a bit
of experience are able to realize them.
Thinking about this cartoon character I always remember angel and devil that speak to him while sitting on his shoulder. Guess who is him? - Sure! It’s easy. He is Pluto, Pluto the Pup, Mickey’s pat. Pay attention, please, that Baby Pluto cross-stitch pattern is as easy as pie. But the butterfly he is hunting for is aimed at experienced embroiderers as to realize it one must know not only what is half, quarter and back stitch but also what is petite stitch.
For today I’ve prepared a cross-stitch pattern
depicting Disney’s celebrated character Baby Minnie, Mickey’s future girlfriend.
I’ve said “future girlfriend” as at the moment she is just a baby JJJJ.
To be small doesn’t mean to be useless and
helpless. This statement again and again proves Zipper – a blue insect from
Disney’s cartoon “Chip
'n Dale: Rescue Rangers”. Enjoyers
of the cartoon have got a bunch of possibilities to see how this small fly with
enormous soul and bravest heart helps the Rangers out of a tight
corner, often putting himself into a grave danger.
Have you ever seen a real Santa Claus? Because I haven’t. But all of us know for sure that Santa Claus is a little old man with white beard, red robe and is believed to live in Lapland. Well, today I’d like to present a bit cartoonized view on Santa Claus. So, meet Tiger Santa – a cute tiger cub with a sack of presents. One may say, that tiger is not a real Santa. But ask your kids what is the main distinctive feature of Santa Claus and they’ll surely respond that a real Santa must have a great sack with such longed-for presents.
Christmas… How much warmth is embedded in this word: fireplace, family gathered round the table, reverential mood, a great number of gifts prepared with love under the Christmas tree and … huge piles of snow outdoors))))).
Autumn is a nice season (if it is not raining )))), when everything around you is changing colors, obtaining warm tints and peculiar fragrance that could be detected only this time of year. Besides, it inspires to create and reflect in your works an unobtrusive atmosphere prevailing everywhere. And my recent creation “Autumn Symphony” is just exactly the reflection of beautiful autumn days with their warm colors and fragrance of harvest.
Would you like to know if Eeyore, a gloomy friend of Winnie the Pooh, was always as he is – such a sad and pessimistic donkey? Well, I don’t think so. I believe him to be an adorable baby with a beautiful smile and (surely) a pink bow at the end of his tail, just like this one on the pattern below))))))
Do you like Simba, a playful cub from Disney’s “The Lion King”? If so, you may cross-stitch it thus making him stay always before your eyes. But notice that this pattern is elaborated for experienced cross-stitchers as there are broken stitches, and back stitches are started (or ended) not only at the intersection of two grid lines but also at the midpoints of the grid, which makes the process of embroidering much more complicated.
When a child I always admired small clownfish in water tanks. And there is no wonder that all kids seem to be amazed by these bright and vivid creatures moving smoothly in the water. And now I’d like to suggest a gift idea for our extra-active boys and girls that can stay motionless during a long time watching small fish in aquariums.
Today, when everybody is mad on 3D I’d like to make my unpretentious contribution to the world of three-dimensional artifacts as well (grin). For passionate cross-stitches with considerable experience in embroidering (as this scheme is pretty difficult to realize, though the only stitching technique used is full cross-stitch) I’ve elaborated a free downloadable 3D Flowers in wooden frame pattern.
