More borders and more road.

I was a bit lost as to what to do in London, but now I have a plan. 🗺️

#crossStitch #sewing #craft
Work in progress cross stitch sampler. The bottom section which is being worked on has a road, a university building surrounded by trees and a London double decker. There is another bus starting to be worked on. This is bounded on the left and right by a decorative border. The top is no visible

“We're on a road to nowhere…”

Leaving the ponies behind and heading off to university. 😢

#crossStitch #craft
A cross stitch sampler in the middle of being made. At the bottom, below a field of ponies, is a small university building. It looks very small and lonely.

All fenced in.

#crossStitch #craft
Work in progress cross stitch sampler. The bottom section shows six horses between two fences
#craft #crossstitch

And now we need a fence to keep the ponies in! And of course… more borders.

#crossStitch #craft
Work in progress cross stitch samplers. Lots of animals and trees. Ponies at the bottom are starting to have a fence out underneath them.
#craft #crossstitch

And the last of the ponies - another two Haflingers - Nicky and Aurora

A partially completed cross stitch sampler. At the bottom there are six ponies- two Haflingers, a bay, a chestnut and another two Haflingers

A Haflinger mare’s head over a stable door. She has a light chestnut coat and white mane. She also has a large white star and snip
#craft #horse #crossstitch #needlework

And another pony.

And yes, they have names. Left to right we have Babs, Sailor, Spice and Sandy. Babs and Sailor were Haflingers, Spice was a TBxID (a big fearless mare who would jump anything you pointed her at) and Sandy was a Welsh Section B x Arab and went like the proverbial off a shovel (she jumped ridiculously high fences too).

See. There’s reasons behind all the oddly scaled critters.

#crossStitch #horse #craft #fiberArt
I work in progress Crosstitch sampler. At the top there are leaves and trees and flowers and deer. below that there is four leaf clover, cats, Pigs, acorns and a big flower. then there’s a fence. Below the fence are four ponies two Palominos then a bay and then a chestnut. There’s space on the right for two more ponies.
A bay mare’s head. She’s wearing a bridle and her mane is sticking up (she used to be hogged). This is Spice.
A poor quality picture of a chestnut mare’s head and shoulders. She’s wearing a green rug and has been clipped for winter. This is Sandy
#craft #horse #crossstitch #fiberart

Even more ponies.

Well in truth the bay was a big TBxID but my cats are the size of pigs which are the size of acorns so I think I gave up on scale along time ago…

#crossStitch #crafts #needlework
Partially completed cross stitch sampler. There are lots of animals, trees and flowers which are all stylised rather than realistic. The part currently being worked on has two Haflinger ponies and a bay.
#crafts #crossstitch #needlework

Bring on the tiny ponies!

#crossStitch #needlework #crafts #horses
Work in progress cross stitch sampler. There are deer and a forest at the top. Then there are cats, pigs and acorns. Under that there is a palomino pony and another partially completed pony. Everything is stylised and the scale is odd. There’s also a decorative border on the left, top and right.
#crafts #crossstitch #horses #needlework

Pigs and panthers are contained.

#crossStitch #needleWork #crafts

Completing this by end of year is looking increasingly unlikely. 😔

I messed up somewhere with my holly tree (it’s not in the right place…) 😫

So I’m putting flower stalks in to make sure I can line my trees up properly.

Day 15.

This SAL is challenging me, which is frustrating because it is so simple. Once again I miscounted on where I started the word merry, by the time I noticed, I was just finishing the word....so it stays, I am not frogging it. I need to find some focus.

#AdventSAL #CrossStitch
White and pale grey threads have added the words "merry and" to the ongoing cross stitch.
