ACNH - Blathers

May - Blathers (owl) is the curator in charge of the museum exhibits.  He accepts all of your donations of bugs, fish, fossils (dinosaurs) and art pieces. I have completed 3 areas in my museum. I just have 1 more painting to find for the art room.

I am stitching the background to look like this area behind Blathers.

I started this square on July 14 and just finished it tonight.  I have not been stitching much because I have been enjoying the summer weather. 

July 2021 - Houses

I always forget about this SAL until I read Jo’s blog Serendipitous Stitching.  This month’s topic is Houses, which is one of my favourite things to stitch.  I have stitched 28 houses over the past 26 years, I'm sure these will not be the last!

  

My first cross stitch back in 1995 was called Summer Symphony.

New Home card for a family member in 1996.

Spindles and Posts - stitched in 1999

Proud to be on Duty - 1999

Grandparents Day - 2001

As Seasons Change - 2001

Down Main Street - I stitched these 3 stores for a friend in 2003.

Cantenbury Cafe - I designed this for my sons' basketball coach (2005) when they bought a coffee shop.

Gingerbread House ornament

Lighthouse - This was a stamped cross stitch kit that a family member had.  I cut out the stamped area and stitched on 28ct, but still using the fabric background as a mat.

Amish Scene - I love this busy, colourful scene.

Victorian Dollhouse - Designed by Joan Elliott.  I had a wall dollhouse like this in the 90's, so I definitely had to stitch this project in 2012.

3D miniature house ornament - 2013

Santa’s Village (12 houses) - Designed by Country Cottage Needleworks - 2013

Stitcher's Place - This was designed by Tiny Moderist for my old LNS (2015).

This was my local needlework shop which closed about 4 years ago.
