Nintendo Sampler WIP

Post by Kareesh »

So, I started this quite awhile ago, but I just now picked it back up and started on it again. I'm making it for my brother as he and I played the NES quite a bit back in the day, but if he doesn't like it or want it, then I'll take it! :grin:

I couldn't really tell you how many hours I've put into it already as I already said I started it a year ago, but I know I worked on it for quite a few hours yesterday as I was home sick. Here's what I have done so far!

I didn't have any black Aida cloth when I started, so I'm thinking I may go back and do half-stitches for the background. And, yeah, I messed up on the position of one of the blocks. It give it character is what I say. :nod

Cats are awesome, just not when you are cross stitching.

After being sick for a couple of days, I got quite a bit of stitching done. Sorry in advance for the horrible picture quality. The best camera we have in our house is the camera on my phone.

Looks great so far! And don't worry about picture quality, it still looks fine.

I feel the same way every time I post pics from my terrible camera phone.

I'm a huge Nintendo fan girl, so I'm really excited to see your progress on this! :NES
Current Project(s): How much time do you have? LOL

I am quitting for the night. That darn dog is mocking me. For some reason, all my stitches seem to be off, even though I went through and corrected them....twice! Guh. I may skip working on him for a bit and maybe work on the grass and the bottom blocks.

Anywho, this is the progress I made over the past couple of days.

You can just see that dog laughing and mocking me. :banghead:
