Biscornu Time Again!!!

I'm just a bit frustrated as the pictures of the finished biscornu are not that sharp. But you can still see what it looks like!

This is the picture of both charts:


It's twice the same design but with contrasting colours.

And here's the link for the chart:

That's it for today.
My mind isn't set on stitches at the moment.
I'm contemplating buying a new car. My boyfriend and I went to have a look at some this afternoon and my mind is buzzing with valves, dimensions, gearboxes and the like.

Hope you have fun with my biscornu!

Do you like geometry?!

I know I didn't when I was in school! I got a bellyache when I saw the teacher drawing all those lines on the blackboard!
I'm perfectly happy my schooldays are over!

But likes and dislikes change over the years it seems, and now I like geometry.
I mean, I like it, when it's integrated in stitched designs, like biscornus for instance.

So I made one for you to stitch on 14 count white aïda.
Instead of a button I used a bead for the center.
Makes it look a bit more bling bling!
This is what the chart looks like:

Enjoy and send pictures pleeeezzzze!!!!
TTFN!

Good afternoon all,

I did mention I got a nice bird feeder as a Xmas present.... Well, it's in my garden now! And I'm glad it's there as we are having a snowy winter this year. The birds found their way to it and they are happy it's there too!



The first and second square of the 15-sided biscornu SAL are stitched and here's a picture of what they look like. You will notice I am using the same cloth as I use for my first SAL. I must say I rather like that denim colour and as I have some left, I'm using it again. For the stitches I choose DMC 746 and 747.



I've been having a look on the internet to kill the time a bit and stumbled upon a great site with silly cat pictures with even sillier captions.
Go take a look, it's a blast!
silly cats


That's it for now. In 45 minutes I'll be home, cuddling my moggies, baking a bread and, most importantly, STITCH!!!

It's Biscornu time!!!
As you might know, I simply adore biscornu's! I have found loads of them on sites all over the place. I have downloaded them to my good ol' computer and they are waiting to be made.... Only problem is I simply don't have enough time to make them!
But.... I did manage to design one myself and I even found the time to stitch it!!!


Take 2 pieces of Aïda, stitch a bit...


... and this is the result



I baptized it the: Zig Zag Biscornu.

It's a bit biggish but that's partially due to the fact I stitched it on 14 count Aïda.

As I'm sure I'm not the only one who loves biscornu's, you can find the link to the chart and key right here!

I'm rather proud of this one! It's my first and it will not be my last!
I hope you enjoy stitching it! And please show me your finished masterpieces!
Thanks for the visit!

Here I am again.
Just to mention I'm home and somebody helped me out with the hosting of the pdf file! Now it will stay on-line permanently!
Thanks to Louison who's got a really nice blog full of biscornu freebies which I adore to make: au pays des biscornus

That's it for today!
The only other things I'll do this evening is mimic a couch potato, watch some tv, eat a sandwich, do some cross stitching and phone my boyfriend using Skype.

Have a nice evening all!
