Dog Cross stitch design

I have been asked to do another cross stitch for a friend at work, so yet again I start with a drawing thats it shown below



Then using a light box I transferred the drawing to graph paper and then decided on the colours


Now I have the pattern, all I had to do is fine the right coloured cotton, me sure the aida and then stitch it, Below is the finished design,


I used a selection of full and half stitches to add depth to the drawing, I am really happy with the way this turned out,

Bulbasaur and Psyduck Cross stitch

For both my friends birthday I decided to make a cross stitched version of there Favourite Pokemon Bulbasaur and Psyduck. The first thing I had to do is draw the design on some graph paper like so:


From this I could do the actual cross stitch on Aida which took me about 3 days to make. I had to make sure I had all the right colours as well.


After I had done this I then framed it, I brought a frame and then painted it to match the picture. I decided to go for a green and blu which represents Grass and water to and to the Pokemon theme. 

Here is the finished thing.
