I have been very busy making samples for the next Clarity shows that are on Create and Craft this weekend and will be posting them from tomorrow. I just hope that the photos I took of them are OK as I was only able to view them on my camera before I handed them over to Barbara.
For now I thought I'd share something different. I do love all sorts of crafts and cross stitch is one of them.
This is a Stitch-A-Photo by DMC of my first Labrador, B'Elanna when she was a puppy. It really was a labour of love and took many years to complete. Quite a few of them were spent at the back of a cupboard as the background was a nightmare to do. Even though she was sat on a plain carpet there were so many different shades in the pattern. I'm glad I persevered though as the end result was well worth it. It's even more precious now that she is no longer with us.
This photo was taken over 7 years ago. It shows the finished result with the original photo, along with the subject herself.
I hope you all enjoy the Clarity shows this weekend. I'm looking forward to seeing what Barbara has in store for us. I hope you'll come back to see what I've made.
