Oh Deer not another Bambi pattern........

Yes I know this Bambi thing has been going on a long time but I just can't help myself!

Meet the latest Cupcake Cutie Bambi cross stitch pattern....

...'Oh Deer'

Based on the Bambi softie I just can't stop making.....

You can find the 'Oh Deer' cross stitch pattern in my Etsy store.

STITCHING RIGHT NOW

I always have some kind of stitching on the go, usually at least 3 if not about 5 projects!

At the moment I am on the lookout for vintage/retro printed canvases that I can stitch up for the kid's room when it gets a makeover. I am kind of putting the cart before the horse as I haven't even stripped the wallpaper off the walls yet....oh well!

This is what I have so far.....

......a Monkey kit I got for a couple of dollars at the local Op Shop. Haven't done a stitch yet.

Then we have a Mickey Mouse kit......

I picked him up on Trade Me for a dollar. I have just started outlining him and stitched his foot.


Then there is Mr Raccoon embroidery kit......

....he has been partially stitched by someone else......

 

.........but i don't mind because the stitching is quite good and I bought him for a dollar plus postage and I just couldn't resist that cute little face!

 

There is this wee tugboat.....

 

.....which I have actually finished!

 

And then there is my most recent purchase from Etsy....

 

 

 ...this fabulous retro deer. I had to have him and he travelled all the way from the Netherlands to make NZ home!

 

I will be searching op shops and garage sales to find some frames for them and then I want to create a collage on one wall of the kid's bedroom. I had thought about doing A-Z in tapestry pictures but that might be slightly ambitious and I already have two 'M's.

 

There is a very long list of other things I should be stitching instead but that is a whole other blog post!

 



Bambi, a Hedgehog and Wonder Woman

I have been busy stitching and embroidery hooping (that is the technical term!) and these are my latest creations.........

Bambi

Who doesn't love Bambi?

I thought with a green polka dot ribbon hanger that 'Bambi' would be a great 'not too overtly Christmassy' Christmas decoration.

Then there is my old favourite....

Hedgehog

Little Mister Hedgehog sheltering under some Mushrooms....he always seems to pop up in so many of my patterns...sneaky little critter!

And for something totally different...

Wonder Woman

I love this retro design... I can't claim this one, it is from a vintage plastic canvas book. It is a design I used to stitch about 10 years ago onto T-shirts. I still love it just as much now.

You can find them all in my Etsy store.

2 reasons there is not much crafting or blogging happening...

Reason One:

I am enormous...

and it takes me all day just to do pick up Oliver's toys!

Reason Two:

I have a toddler who wants to be outside all the time...

I did finish my retro bambi long stitch kit and it is so cute....

It did also inspire me to make a bambi Christmas ornament...



I have also decided in a 'nesting fit' to replaster, wallpaper and paint half the rooms in our house before bubs arrives....that is a whole other blog post!

Felt cupcakes + paper doll buttons going fast!

I am having another drastic clearout - it must be early nesting or something!

These bargains are on trade me.......

Felt cupcakes for pretend play, pincushions or just because they are pretty!
