Fun with Tetris

A long time ago I had some fun photographing my Tetris magnets and thought I would share.

Anyway, back to cross stitching a Christmas gift. At this rate I'll never finish it in time. :(

I made this recently for my grandmother. I took up cross stitching because I love all the pieces of it she did over the years that now fill up her house. She doesn't know I do this as a hobby though so I think she'll be surprised. I borrowed the dove pattern from a free one I found online and got the text from a cross stitch text generator so I can't really share the pattern since none of it is my own. I have no idea what I'm going to do next. I'm still recovering from a week spent with 10 two year old rambunctious kids at Vacation Bible School and thoroughly enjoying just laying in bed while listening to music. I do have a lot of unfinished patterns and thoughts so maybe I'll revisit one of those soon.

Pac-Man Love

I haven't been crafting much recently due to being busy with other things so I thought I would share the first thing I made for my boyfriend. It is a magnet done on 14 ct plastic canvas and made especially for Valentine's Day.

Tetris Magnets

Inspired by a post at Geek Crafts, I started making my own set of tetris magnets a long time ago. Of course, I had to complicate things by painting each and every individual block, which took forever, but my first set is finally done!

Variegated Floss

A few weeks ago I found some variegated floss on clearance at my local craft store. I was so excited to try it out that I quickly came up with a simple pattern and went to stitching. Unfortunately, I wasn't as careful as I should have been when placing my stitches so what I ended up with is a bad camouflage effect. I guess next time I try to stitch with variegated floss, I'll google tips for doing so first.

Huzzah!

My boyfriend says this often so I made him a magnet. The letters are based off of the alphabet found here. It's a very simple pattern, but I wanted to post something while I'm working on a bigger project.

Peace, Love and Pac-Man
