Over the weekend I hunted through my stash to find a small project suitable to travel with, and decided on Heartstruck Friends by Midnight Stitching. I found all of the threads and a perfect piece of fabbie - mottled mauve by Jane Greenoff. And started stitching. Hmmmm. I finished the first one before we left!
I started the second piece on the transatlantic flight, and it's about 1/2 done:
The colours are more accurate in the bottom photo.
The weekend before we left it was Emma's birthday. Emma is a new convert to cross stitch, and especially loves the subversive cross stitch book and designs by Steotch. So I made her a scissor fob, and attached it to a lovely pair of scissors that I bought in Bruges last summer. I took a photo before I stitched it together, but forgot to take one of the finished article!
I've not stitched since we landed in Oregon, but I have fulfilled two life-long dreams.
To see the Pacific Ocean:
To paddle in the Pacific:
It was VERY cold, but fabulous!

Lovely stitches!!! I hope you enjoy your trip. I've been in both oceans too which was a bucket list item for me.
Both designs look lovely! Happy Easter.
Cute designs! Brrr, that water does look decidedly chilly! Enjoy your holiday
It turns out I haven't managed either ocean! Just the North Sea, the English Channel, the Mediteranean Sea and the Malacca Strait in Malaysia.
The two hearts are very sweet, it's nice to have something little for your holiday. Hope you're having a great time.
Great projects! I hope you're having (or have had) a lovely trip.
Hello
Just found your blog.
I love your holiday pics!
Your stitching looks great!
Love your snowmen! Glad you had a nice time in the US too, sorry it wasn't warmer for you.
