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!

most of the mushrooms can be found in the mario games
but a few i had to make patterns for.
