My husband is a king of myphotostitch.com. This is the third or fourth item that he has made in the past month or two for me to stitch. He pulls them together using sprite art.
This name badge is supposed to be the logo for the church we've been going to (UU, the church for atheists, agnostics, pantheists, monotheists and other forms of theists), but his version uses the apple from PacMan and the font from Final Fantasy (I think IV, but I don't remember).
It only took a couple of days to stitch, and the perforated paper was a breeze to work with. While it isn't my first finished item of 2014, because, well, gift crafting always takes longer to make it on the blog, it is nice to have a quickie project to share.
I hope my next cross-stitch finish is the bit of sprite art that he put together for a onesie for Q, though I do have other sprite art projects I'd like to do (a phone case and this huge project) it is the only one that needs to be done by a certain date.
Of course, I think the onesie is 18 month size, so I do have a bit of flexibility in getting it done.
In knitting news, I am doing 14 in 2014. 14 pairs of socks that is. I'm hoping to finish a pair of socks that I started last year as my first pair by the end of the month, though at that rate I'm only going to get 12 done. Finishing anything though at this point is a major win!
