Becca’s Cross Stitch

On my forum, Crafts ‘n’ Creatures, we will be holding an Easter Egg Hunt on Sunday 12th April starting at 8:00pm, UK time.  This will involve being given clues to find the eggs which will be hidden around the forum.  The first person to find each egg will win a prize to do with our Creatures game, including creatures which are unavaible to buy in the shop.  Click here for more details.

For those who don’t know what the Creatures game is, here’s a little explanation.  All members of the forum (which is completely free to join and open to everyone) earns points for every post they make on the forum.  These points can then be used to buy cute little creatures and items.  The aim is to collect as many creatures as you can, and you will soon be able to race them against other peoples’ creatures.  Points can also be won from our many competitions that we hold on the forum.

We are currently holding an art and craft competition with an Easter theme.  The deadline for entries is the 11th April, so not long left now.  For more information on the competition, click here.

Well the Easter holidays have certainly allowed me time to get a lot more stitching done, i think i’ve done more in each day of the holiday than i did in the whole month before that!  I’ve been working really hard on the sky, although i had to do some of the arch because the sky was getting really boring, there is only so long that i can work on pink, purple and peach.  I’ve almost finished the top half of this page now (which had nothing but sky on it), so hopefully i’ll get that bit done tomorrow.  Sorry the picture is a bit dark, it’s not so sunny here at the moment.

First of all i’m very sorry that i haven’t updated for so long.  I’ve been extremely busy with my teacher training course, so much lesson planning and essays and things that i’ve hardly had time for cross stitching.  However it is now the Easter holiday so i should have a lot more time over the next couple of weeks to get more stitching done.

As you can see i’m working on that third page, just doing lots of sky which is fairly easy as it’s only really 4 colours.  There’s just an awful lot of it so i expect i’ll get fed up of sky fairly soon!
