Project Name & Page Link: January Cross Stitch
Brief Description: My favorite of all muggle crafts currentlyā¦cross stitch! I prefer to do it the slow, muggle way rather than use magic. I actually completed this at the end of December so itād be done for January but once I finished it it was tucked away into I found it again this week.
Itās from Cross Stitcher magazine by Cheryl McKinnon. Thereās a design for every month. Iām going to do one each month for my own personal SAL. Not sure what I want to do with all them when Iām done, but I have plenty of time to think about it.

Class or Challenge Title: Apparition
House: Hufflepuff

Brief Description: Cross stitch is all about keeping track of the stitches.
This cross stitch kit was given to me a few years ago, but I had never got around to stitching it. Unfortunately the needle had been placed in the fabric and had gone slightly rusty, staining the fabric. I tried bleaching, which didnāt work, so stained the fabric in some tea and added some coffee granules. I then used wax crayons to add a tint of green. Quite pleased that the rust spots are no longer obvious although not 100% happy with the outcome!

House: Hufflepuff

Brief Description: The theme for these inchies was rainbow, but I wanted them to be a blend of colours, so I created the background in one piece with a variety of different coloured pens and pieces of ribbon. I then cut it up and added a button of each colour. It wasnāt clear whilst creating the background what the result was going to be.

Brief Description: This was another of the Christmas cards I hand painted in watercolours
Project Picture:
I wouldnāt have know know there were rust spots had you not mentioned it! I thought thatās just how the fabric was.
Also, thatās the card I got! (Or maybe you made multiplesā¦) I love it! I was curious what you used for the āHappy Christmasā silver writing on there.
I did make a few duplicates - still quite new to watercolours, so have a limited range of designs I know how to do
I used peel off stickers like this - https://smile.amazon.co.uk/Papermania-Stickers-Multi-One-Size/dp/B01LSN2KA0/ref=sr_1_14?dchild=1&keywords=peel+off+stickers+happy+christmas+silver&qid=1611348193&sr=8-14 - only in silver
Oh wow! I thought they were embossed at first but the backside was still smooth. Stickers make much more sense. Lol.
