Cross stitch Exchange Gift 2013

Since i was cross stitch newcomers in this year and i never participated in cross stitch exchange gift before so i challenge myself for participating in this year..

In this year, there are 60 stitcher who participated in this event. we will got a receiver's name but we also doesn't know the one who will make cross stitch for us. the late date for sending this gift before 1st January 2013. so it will be also new year's gift.. don't you think so?

At the first time, iam really confused what is the thing that i want to make it? i have to see my receiver's favorite genre. she is love with cute things and that's why i choose to make soda pattern.. not only one soda pattern but combine into three pattern! *O*

The next idea is showing up when i wanna take a bath.. i think i will try to make a bathroom's towel with an soda stitch decoration on it.. I also think to add some beads and the color of the girl and boy's dress will be different in each time. that's why i need more beads color.

Here it is my preparation for making cross stitch exchange gift 2013!

The materials that i will be using to :

- Blue Towel

- White Aida 18CT Fabric (75x75cm)

- 3 soda's stitch pattern

- DMC thread

- Japan red, green, pink, black, white, orange and blue (Conversion from MillHill beads)

- Water erasable pen

- pink scissors

- Paper scotch tape

will i can make it finish soon before 1st January 2013? who is the lucky one who will receive my cross stitch exchange gift? wish me good luck for tomorrow, i will make it soon! :)
