Life With Jules, and other stuff

I created a new blogspot called "Julie's Creations". This new blog will be devoted to the cross-stitch projects I create/stitch. http://julies-creations.blogspot.com/

Here are a few random projects I have done over the past couple of years. This one is called "Forever Wild". It is part of the Roger W. Reinardy series put out by Janlynn. This one is called "Nautical Light". It is part of the Creative Accents division of Dimensions. What I really liked about this project was the map in the background and the compass. It really added something interesting to the whole piece. The last three are my own creations. I use PCStitch 7.0 software to create my own patterns. I decided to make 3 bibs over the weekend. Each bib took approximately 3 hours to complete. The primary reason for the bibs is a baby shower I am going to later this month.

I thought I would create a new blog devoted to one of my other hobbies: cross-stitching. I picked up this hobby about 4 years ago and have become addicted to it. I mainly look for counted cross-stitch kits by Janlynn, Dimensions, and Bucilla. I have found that most of the projects I have completed are of cats. I recently completed one called "Gettysburg" by Sunset/Dimensions. I began this project while my dad was recovering from major heart surgery in March of this year. I spent about a month on it before I had to set it aside when Spring semester started up for me. I didn't start working on it again until mid-July when I found myself out of a job and with more "free time" on my hands. It was completed this past weekend.
