Crafting - Cross stitching Update #2

I felt like showing you how much stitching I've done on my current go to project.

As this is going to be my grandparents Christmas present, I want to make sure I get it completed. I'm hoping to have this first half completed by the time we go on holiday which is 6 weeks away. Before I sit down to do some I do make sure I've done my workout, and housework that needs doing, so I can fully relax.

Crafting - Cross Stitching Update

Just a little cross stitch update today! I've started a new cross-stitch kit, that's I'd actually like to give as a Christmas present - yes I am thinking that far down the line. So I need to get stitching, as it's a very big project.

I actually won this on eBay (surprise, surprise) and cost me just over £20, and it retails for a LOT more than that. I've had to ban myself from eBay now as I have enough kits to keep me going for the year and more.

This is actually just one days worth of work so far, but will post a little update on it soon.

My Hobbies - Cross Stitching

I thought it would be nice to show you what I do in my spare time (not that I have that much!) I mostly cross stitch, i've been doing it for probably around 15 years now, ever since my mum bought me my first kit, a little children's one.

I buy most of my kits off eBay, I never used to though! My mum started purchasing them off eBay, and as long as you read the description and check the sellers feedback you should get a good deal. As I prefer to use the auctions than the buy it now prices, as you get better deals. The little mini kit you may recognise from my What I got for Christmas post.

I'm currently working on a few different pieces, as I tend to get bored easily (haha!), this one is a Winnie the Pooh one, that is no longer available (another great thing about shopping on eBay). I have a few of these, and they're meant to be for Ben's bedroom, but I don't think they'll be up until he's 5!

I like to store my kits in these plastic popper folders, or I use plastic bags, although some are still in their original packaging, which I need to sort out as it's not great for storage.

This is a Christmas Dimensions kit that I'm also working on. I love Dimensions, as their kits are always so detailed and look fantastic when finished. I do have other kits I'm working on as well, but thought I'd just show a couple in this post.

I will do follow up posts on my progress of my projects, to add something a little different to my blog.

I hope you liked this post, and what does everyone else do in their spare time? I'd love to know.
