With my friend little bird cross stitch done and framed (she loved it), I needed to get something new in the hoop. For a while, I’ve been admiring a variety of patterns done on black aida. Eventually, I settled on a set of patterns from an Etsy seller.


When we renovate my office this summer, I want to decorate it something like an old Victorian Naturalist’s room. I think these would look amazing on the wall.
I’ve started with the first butterfly

It’s not going to be a fast project. Not only am I working on black aida, but it’s also 18ct – so it’s pretty small. I think it’s going to look amazing though! I just have to take it one stitch at a time!
Those will be beautiful!! Dark fabric is so hard (for me) to stitch on.

My old eyes would not be able to handle it!! But they will be gorgeous. And I love the fix for your rocket ships!! Perfect.

Those are going to be perfect for your office Val. M eyes wouldn’t be able to do it though. Black fabric/black yarn. It’s all one and the same for these old eyes.
Blessings and hugs,
Betsy

That sounds like a good theme for your office! These butterflies will look great-it’s hard to remember, we don’t have to hurry!

They will be spectacular on the wall! I hear you about one stitch at a time. I’m going to have to keep repeating it to myself with those tea cups. They looked so simple until I pulled out the chart and had a good look.

Those butterflies will be beautiful in your office. I could never do the 18 count or the black aida. I think you will have them complete in time to decorate after the office renovation.
