Here Comes the Sun

Cross stitching to me is like knitting stockinette. It is something you do when you don't want to think too hard. You just do the same  stitch over and over again and somehow it is totally relaxing.


This cute little pattern comes from Sewing Seed on etsy. Her designs are my favorite cross stitch patterns on etsy and when I saw this Beatles inspired one I knew I had to have it. It is cross stitched on light blue size 14 aida cloths with the color she suggested in the pattern. It is framed it in a  red painted wooden frame  that I bought at the thrift store for super cheaps. Why is it so hard to paint red without it looking orangey? I think I had to paint on 4or 5 layers.


This makes me insanely excited everytime I see it, but I always get the song stuck in my head when I do. Luckily it's one of my favorites!

  4. Adorable! I agree - I like everything you make too!
    By the way - if you paint a layer of dark grey over the wood first, it takes less layers of red paint to make a true red.
