What Am I Working On Now?

I decided to create a monthly cross stitch series to span over the whole year to inspire more creativity within myself and others, or to keep that creativity flowing.

I have always loved the sea and everything within it, for this series I wanted to keep the main outline simple so that it was achievable for all skill levels.  In fact throughout all of the monthly designs I have only used full/whole cross stitches.

January is available now within my Etsy store HERE for 50p, which is the lowest price I could offer, for this new project with the instant download pdf option.  

The months February through to December are priced at £3.00 each and can also be instantly downloaded when I release them.

Here is the full set of months that will be released, so that you can see at a glance what is coming.

I have stitched January, on 18 count zweigart khaki Aida and will probably stitch all the months with this as I have a whole bolt I need to use. I wanted to make the months into a visible useable calendar, this is what I did:

• I put cardboard on the back of the stitching, laced the back so that the cardboard was covered.  
• I then bought magnetic sheets and cut to size and stuck to the back of my design, I will do this with all the months so that they can easily be changed.

    

I plan on stitching days of the week and numbers, so that it will be a working calendar then, on my fridge. More updates to follow.
