Some new charts!

Hi!
 
Yesterday I received two English cross stitch magazines that I had purchased online . One of them was Cross Stitch Collection issue 245 and as usual it had some lovely charts!
 
I really liked this cute little design by Emma Congdon .
 

 I love her use of colours and letters and the way she combines them : = )
Sadly I don't really have anyone special to stitch this for : (
 
This chart of a vintage sewing machine by Maria Diaz is also lovely .

 
In the magazine they have turned this chart into a cover for a sewing machine but I think it would look just as good as a picture or a cushion!
 
However , my favorite chart from this magazine is this picture of three adorable puppies by Jenny Barton .
 

It is soo cute , and as a doglover this is a must-stitch for me! Once I have finished my Jack Russell-WIP , I'm going to make a start on this one .
The last couple of days I have not stitched much . One of my dogs had a surgery and I have been too stressed and exhausted to pick up a needle . Still , I hope I can finish my secret projects this weekend so I can move on to my other not-so-secret projects soon : )
 
Happy Stitching everyone!

  4. Awe I hope your dog recovers quickly! You will get to stitch when you are rested. Great magazine you got & has such lovely charts. I also wanted to thank you for your lovely comment on my blog. I couldn't respond as it does not list your email address on your comment. This has happened to some other bloggers as well. Why? No idea!
    That sewing machine chart is going to be beautiful as a pillow.
    love Annette

  7. The puppies are so cute! I love the sewing machine and I think you are right, it would look great as a cushion...maybe for your sewing area!
