My wonderful friend BGDino sent me a very fun cross stitch kit in her last package… a dinosaur! It looks exactly like her mascot so I couldn’t wait to give it a go 😀

The contents included a cute little hoop for display as well 😀  Half way through I decided that I wanted to go a slightly different direction to the pattern and give it a more pixel-art feeling with a thick black border and by following the squares rather than diagonal curves.
So funny, the instructions were very explicit in how many threads to use warning you not to run out… I ran out anyway XD Luckily I had the exact same green in my stash already!
My finished dinosaur!
I added in the stripy long stitch background and I’m thinking I should totally deco the frame with some green jewels, what do you think?
Love it! Thank you very much Dino! Such a cute little dinosaur and he’s living on my dressing table now 😀

So as I mentioned the other day in the Round Up post, James has officially launched his shop on Etsy selling photography prints. YAY!
The reason I say YAY is that it’s something he’s wanted to do for years and he’s finally had the time/money/etc to do something like this for himself… so YAY!
Click here to visit his store or click any of the pictures below to go to specific items.
He’s starting with mounted 6×4 prints for now and will be moving up into other sizes, tryptichs and other matted versions (not just mounted) soon depending on how popular it is. He’s even talking about setting up at some local markets with a stall ^_^
And at only AU$10 a piece 😉
I couldn’t help wanting to post a couple of the shots of them on the easels because I was so excited to actually have printed copies we can display around the house XD They look amazing in person, so enjoy!
