Special Square One
Thursday March 11, 2010
Recently I had a request from one of my stitching pals for more projects with specialty stitches. I have some new ones in the works, but until they are ready, I will be featuring some of the older projects on this site. These projects usually have some cross stitches in them, but they also have other counted thread stitches in them too.

A little nervous about trying new stitches? This project is perfect for you - it's small, so you won't get frustrated, but in the process stitch up this little Special Square One design you will learn a few new stitches. Chose your own floss colors for the design or stitch it in one color as shown.
Even if you already know all the stitches, it's still a fun little project and would make a great ornament or pin cushion.
Stitches Include:

Here's another great project from Robin. She sells many of her stitcheries, a few patterns, and other cool crafty items in her Snips and Snails Etsy Shop. I love her scrabble tile pendants too.

Free Egyptian-Themed Cross Stitch Charts
Tuesday March 9, 2010
I have written before about my love of science fiction - books, TV shows, movies - any media. Lately, I have been watching lots of Stargate SG-1 on Hulu. I love the twist the show gives to Egyptology. Ra isn't a god - he's a Goa'uld, a symbiont living inside a human host. We run into many of the other Egyptian "gods" as the storyline proceeds.
It's so cool to see the beings from Egyptian pyramid walls walking around. And, to find out that they traveled through the Stargate to other worlds. (Not so cool to know that they want to enslave all humans.)
Since the Stargate is only imaginary, and I don't have a trip to Egypt planned anytime soon, I will have to content myself with stitching some of the free Egyptian-Themed Cross Stitch Patterns from here at About.com Cross Stitch. If I use metallic thread for some of the designs, they would be fit for a Goa'uld's sarcophagus. Or, for display in my living room.
