Another finish!!

In less than a week I have another cross stitch finish to share °Ü° !

Yesterday was Fernando's 40th birthday and I finished his gift just in time! I stitched all day on Saturday and went to the store that night looking for a frame and thankfully I found the perfect one! *phew*

The cacti design is from Fuzzy Fox Designs and I added the little heart and the quote: Juntos Siempre (in English "Always Together"). This was my daughter's birthday gift for her dad; the cactus with the hat represent her dad and she is the one with the flower ♥

Cactus design: Miguel and Chloe from Prickly but Cute 

Cactus designer: Fuzzy Fox Designs

Stitch count 67w x 90h

Fabric: 32ct Chocolate Milk Lugana (Hand Dyed Fabrics by Stephanie)

Threads: DMC and ThreadWorX (1028 - Wet Clay)

Started: 28. January. 2018

There were no big celebrations. We went to eat ceviche, his favorite Peruvian dish and enjoyed some family time before he had to travel back to Ayacucho, where he works.

First cross stitch finish of the year

Last week I had my first cross stitch finish of 2018! My goal for this year is to at least have one finish a month, and like I said this is the first one of the year *yay*

In this part of the world we are in summer and it's really HOT, so this was a perfect little project to work on during this hot summer evenings. The design is a freebie by The Snowflower Diaries and you can download it from her blog. I'm still not sure how I want to finish it, but I'm sure I will find some inspiration soon °Ü°

After finishing Summer, I decided to make a small birthday gift for Fernando (he's turning 40 this year). I wanted the design to feature a cactus so I went searching on Etsy and found a super cute SAL by Fuzzy Fox Designs called Prickly but Cute. The SAL started on August of last year and so far 7 small cacti have been released. For Fernando's gift I chose to stitch Miguel and Chloe, and here is my start on Miguel....isn't he adorable ♥-♥ !!!!

Also last week, I crocheted a little bit and finish a unicorn rattle. The design is from Yulia Mozhaiska. It was a quick and fun little project.
