When I started the Super Mario Cross Stitch it was a bit of a test. I have always like cross stitching, my mother is an avid stitcher who has many fine finished projects framed on the walls in her house. I have even done some small and larger projects before, but I never finished them. [...]
After a break of almost 5 months I started working on the Super Mario Cross Stitch again. The summer was too hot to stitch, I keep getting sweaty hands and that would stain the work. I finished the red border around the logo this week, and started to work on the letters.
I got some more red done.
I didn’t get much done this week, just some more red of the logo.
The border is done, and I started on the long rows of red of the Nintendo logo.
Another productive week. I got the top part done (yay, no more air), and started work on the border around the Nintendo sign. I extended the border and will stitch it all the way around the sign (the pattern has it stopping half way down).
I mainly worked on yet more air, and started on the second Mario.
Another productive week. I got the pipe, flower, goomba, fire ball and fire Mario done, and started working on more and more air, and the bottom stones.
I got the castle done, and started work on the air surrounding the pipe and the flower.
The castle is almost finished, I filled in the black already to see how it would look. I like it!
This is my, Sara's personal blog where I will post stuff about gaming (Nintendo DS and Wii), cross stitching, amigurumi, things I like, things I've done, etc etc. I live in The Netherlands, but I will blog in English for my international friends on the internet. Have fun and leave a comment or two!
