I have had this pattern for a while. It's by Haunted Frames. I don't know why I was so intimidated by it, and then I started stitching it up and it's not really hard... I just kept messing it up. I think the outline for some reason was tripping me up and I still think I may have messed it up. The lighter pink thread that I have must be old or just not a very good quality (although it is DMC and I never have issues with their thread), because it kept snagging and fraying. I finally finished this one, though. It's on glittery aida, but I don't think it really picked up the sparkle in the picture.
I bought this blue aida years ago and have barely used it. I love the color but didn't really know what I wanted to use it for. Then I was inspired. I love this color combo. The pattern is by CryBabyCrossStitch on Etsy. I LOVE LOVE her patterns and have several in my dragon hoard of cross stitch patterns.
Right now, I don't have anywhere to put my finished pieces. I thought about framing them all and putting them in some boxes. I also thought about photographing them all. Then I thought... I have all of these unfinished pieces I need to do something with and many of them will not fit into a frame. Then it dawned on me... I need to get an art portfolio and that way I can put these in and they will be safe until I can frame them! I just need to find one I like...
