Time for a Bubble Bath, Piglet

I should like to welcome everyone who has found their way to my blog via the Crafty Boots Challenge Blog.

The challenge for the next two weeks is "Young at Heart", this can be anything that reminds you of childhood.  I have chosen Winnie the Pooh, I think most people have an affection for the bear of very little brain, who is bothered by long words, I certainly do!

Snow - It's What Tiggers Like Best!

Some more of my favourite Winnie the Pooh characters.

As you can see, I stitched this design on pale blue to give the impression of an icy day, if you look closely you can see that the snow is falling but our childhood friends are dressed for the weather.  I thought that the detail on Pooh's scarf was fun.

Winnie the Pooh Birth Sampler

As well as stitching magical and mythical designs I also make the occasional Winnie the Pooh picture for my nieces and nephews.  It's funny, they never ask for anything else, but as they are fun to stitch I really do not mind.  


I recently made this birth sampler for my first great nephew.  (For obvious reasons I have blanked out his personal details.)

This design came in the form of a kit, it contained the aida and all the thread I needed, they even give you a needle.  It was quick and simple to make and a good way for someone who has never cross stitched before to have a go.
