Around here at Chez Wee Little Stitches we don't just talk the talk - we live, unashamedly, in a cross-stitched home - every wall, every room, has at least one piece of cross-stitched art hanging on it. Would you like the tour? (if you click on the photos they get bigger so can see all the details!)

It's a busy, busy apartment as you can see - and yes, that's a lot of beige walls, but we rent and there's not much we can do about that - other than cover every conceivable flat surface in stitching :)
So where do you hang your work?
Lovely cross stitches! :)
ReplyDeleteI have many cross stitch on my home's walls too! It's the best in my opinion: you can enjoy every day them and they are safe from dust!
I love your works! they are all great!

Sensing a few themes there!!! Thanks for sharing! It's nice to know you both a little more! :)
ReplyDeleteGreat collection. I especially enjoy seeing your pieces from antique patterns. Of course I love your geeky designs, but it's nice to see you enjoy the tradition stuff as well.
ReplyDeleteAs far as my own work, I only have 1 piece in my livingroom. I've been cross stitching for 30 years (just a baby when I started :) most of it has been for other people, tho I've done a few Christmas ornaments I've kept for myself.
Thanks for sharing.
Hi guys, I'm a huge fan of your lovely cross-stitch designs. I would love if you design some for Napoleon Dynamite and Flights of the Conchord. I want to buy them and make a surprise for my husband.

P.S. I loved your house!
I love seeing how people display their embroidery pieces! :) I have a little section on my wall (I still live at home and only have one room to decorate) with several pieces, and then I have a few other hoops scattered throughout. And a few sitting on my bookshelves. :)
ReplyDeleteP.S. I noticed the Chronicles of Narnia on your shelf...have you ever considered designing a Narnia Pixel People? I would definitely buy the pattern. :)

ReplyDeleteAfter 14 years together our interests have sort of meshed... and now I'm a fan of things I never thought I'd like simply because he loves them! If you love someone enough what's important to them becomes important to you too!
