Stitching update: 21st Century Boy

21st Century Boy cross stitch kit



My current stitching project is a Jolly Red '21st Century Boy' cross stitch kit which I am stitching for my little boy, who is mad keen on space ships and astronauts.

 I love the Jolly Red cross stitch kits because they have bright colours and no fractional stitches or back stitch.

 Jolly Red no longer sell this particular kit, but I managed to get one on eBay. It has taken me quite a while to get this far with this project, partly because I broke my arm last year. But I feel like I have got some momentum now.

 Watch this space to see how it looks when I have finished.

 I'm linking up with Needlework Days at Feisty Tapas

      You are so good! I should follow your example and not buy any more kits until I've finished the kits I've already got on the go.

      Have you posted a photo of your Christmas stocking anywhere? I'd love to see it.

      Hello, sorry I just saw your reply! I blogged about my stockings here http://www.jenniferslittleworld.com/2011/12/tapestry-christmas-stockings.html I bought the one kit, then they let me buy the extra wool that I needed to make another using the pattern and some blank canvas which I already had.

      Your stockings look really impressive. I've never got the hang of wool tapestry myself.

    I'd never heard of that brand, I'll have to look out for them. I love it, it's really quirky

      This is the fifth Jolly Red kit I've stitched. They are really enjoyable to stitch as well as looking fab when they're done.
