Nintendo Cross Stitchery

I've been pretty busy lately with projects, and cleaning out the house.  We had a garage sale that went REALLY well, so I got some play money and decided to invest in a program called PC Stitch 10.  It's essentially a cross stitching pattern creator.  You can import pictures in, and it will tell you the DMC colors you need and give you a pattern.  I, of course, can never take the easy way... so I made a pattern from scratch!

My son received a Winnie the Pooh cross stitched birth record as a gift when he was born, but unfortunately for the twins they didn't.  No one was really up to making two (and I don't blame them, cross stitching can be a pain in the ... foot).  I'm redecorating the kid's room (and our living room) into video game themes, so I figured I'd stick with it when I went to make the pattern for their birth record.  This took about four hours of learning the program inside and out, but I finished it for the most part!


There are a couple things I want to change, maybe some spacer lines between the alphabet, numbers and birth information.  But overall I love it and think it's adorable.  I'm really looking forward to polishing this up a bit more and actually cross stitching it for my girls.  I'm thinking of making one Peach and one Daisy for the twins, and maybe making a Mario one for my son.  It would look super cute in their rooms in a row!

I have a couple of others I'm playing with for the moment.  If I get good enough I'll post a few on my Etsy.  Some of these would look super cute framed in an embroidery hoop.
