First Day Cross Stitch

This was a kit that I got years ago, when my daughter was first born thinking about how far in the future I would need it.  Well the day came yesterday where my darling daughter started school. She went off without a problem and loved every minute of it.  
I have been wondering what to do with this cross stitch, whether to frame it or make it into something but then I decided that actually a simple card would probably be more than adequate and I plan to keep it and put it into a scrap book for her when she is older.


Me To You First Day
I have always loved Me To You kits as they are relatively simple and extremely cute.  The only problem I have with them each time is the amount of different shades of grey.  
I am also entering this into Crafty Boots first challenge.  Although most entries are purely paper crafts, the title says anything goes ; )

Cross Stitch Cushions

Alot of the kits I do are of teddy bears, although I have plenty of books of patterns, teddy bears are ones that I find easier if you just get the kit - due to the amount of different variations of one colour!
Popcorn kits are definately one of my favourites and my lovely mother gave me a bag full of kits a few years back and they are very cute.  These two cushions were the first things I ever did on my sewing machine (nice simple cushion and a way to use my stitches!)

Me To You are alos very cute, but horrible to stitch, whoever designed the backstitch is evil, as they rarely stick to an actual hole in the aida so you have to poke into the stitches that you've just spent hours doing...but they do look adorable and I think they are worth the effort.
