My First Cross Stitch Since High School


It started from small beginnings and working for 4+ hours a night...


And slowly grew and grew, as I needed to finish it before my best friends baby was born! Eventually after about 3 months, and Seb's birth, I was able to finish!! I obviously had to wait for him to be born, so I could do his name and birth date :) Below is the finished product!!

world of mario

this to date is one of the coolest cross stitchs i have done
i love mario and wanted to do a full mario picture with all the cool little
dudes that are apart of the game.
some patterns i found online and some i had to make
it took a few months to stitch and three weeks to frame.
it now thats centre stage in the middle of our biggest wall!

know your shrooms

which one is which? lol
so venetta asks.......
this was a cool little one i wanted to do
most of the mushrooms can be found in the mario games
but a few i had to make patterns for.
would anyone like to name that shroom??

ages of mario

this was the first mario x stitch that i found and wanted to do. i
found the pattern online and i just added to boot mario into the mix
