Another Birthday Present Finish

I finished my sister's birthday present yesterday! Unfortunately...I got the cardigan in the wrong size...so it doesn't fit her, but - for some reason - it does fit me. I must've accidently bought my size instead of hers... I am SUCH an idiot! Anyway, I've got a new cardigan with a Studio Ghibli character on it (Jiji of Kiki's Delivery Service) and now I have to rush to the shops to get my sister a nice birthday present.


Here it is with the plastic still on.

Here it is without the plastic.


And here is the whole cardigan. Ah well, I'll just wear it...even if it's a bit childish...that's what you get when you buy a cardigan that's your size instead of your eight year old sister's size...

Another Birthday Present II

Here's a quick update on my sister's birthday present. This is what I did yesterday. Have to get back to stitching now, since I need to finish it before Wednesday!

Another Birthday Present I

My sister's birthday is coming up and I totally forgot to buy her a present! Isn't that awful??? Yes, it is. So today, after work, I went to a clothes shop - it was snowing, which was very nice - and bought her a bright pink cardigan. I'm cross stitching something on it for her. Something by Studio Ghibli.

Present

I started working on my grandmother's birthday present this weekend. It's a small pouch with birds on it. I bought it last week, I thought I would have to sew the pouch myself, but that's already done... And the birds were drawn on there already.


The birds are cute, but it's a bit boring just working with one colour and not using your own creativity. But that's okay, I'll definitely finish it for my grandmother.
