Make Stuff May 2025 #14: Moth Sampler by Jessica Long

Lots of finicky little stitching on these moths, but I'm up to the challenge.

 

Free to be Done

Still need to get this framed, but it's done. One more project out of the WIP stash.

 

Make Stuff May 2025 #24: Green Garden by Tamar Nahar-Yanai

I really liked the Christmas tree kit I did from this designer last year. For some reason, this one seems more vague and badly written instruction-wise. I will muddle through, though  the colors aren't what they're supposed to be.

 

Three Motifs of Eight

Five more motifs to go. This should get done rather quickly.

 

Making the Outline

Butterfly outline looks so much better when it's done. It stands out well.

 

Make Stuff May 2025 #13: Brer Rabbits by RTO

Another Estonia kit and another reminder that the Europeans know nothing about American culture because of the name of the kit.

 

Mushroomed

My mushroom is done and ready to be framed.

 

Make Stuff May 2025 #16: Armadillo by RTO

Another little kit bought in Estonia. Though I do wonder about a brown armadillo. Maybe it's dusty?

 

Flagged, Kind Of

The red stripes on the flag are done, but nothing in the white yet. Instructions say to do all the things around it now, so starting with the words.

 

One Big Bellflower

There are three big bellflowers in this piece. The first is just about done. Progress.

 

Filling in the Stone

A bit of the background on the left got some love this time. Little panda's getting big.

 

Make Stuff May 2025 #1: King Eagle-Owl by RTO

I have to do owls because Andreas loves them and I love him.

 

Make Stuff May 2025 #8: In the Countryside by RTO

Another kit from the Estonia trip started. This one is a cottage scene. But right now it's only sky.

 

Make Stuff May 2025 #7: To Keep Moments in Memory by RTO

This has started. It's pretty big, but so far all only half stitches so seems to go faster.

 

Another Flower

The first bellflower is done; on to the second now.

 

Make Stuff May 2025 #11: Street Scene by RTO

Until this gets backstitching it's going to look like geometric modern art. But it's started.

 

A Little More Leaf

 

Some leafy bits added. Definitely showing personality now.

Starting the Legs

This blue little frog has a pair of long legs showing, so still a bit to finish on him. Good news is there's only one more layer of frogs.

 

Making a Flag

Restarted this project with lines from Our Country Tis of Thee. This one is probably the quickest of the four to stitch. Series is from Gay All Rogers.

 

cozyblue April

I gave this particular kit away, as I didn't want it. Someone else will enjoy making it.
