I made a thing! (Photo)

[OvO]

I’m a hermit so no actual real life people to show my stitching to so you vipers will have to stand in for actual friends!

Harry Potter Slytherin Crest cross-stitch. Took me a month!

No Slytherin hate. 💚🐍

[Herja]

That's amazing! Well done

[Redshoeblueshoe]

That's fantastic. I'm just getting back into doing some embroidery, but nothing as good as that (yet)

[SummersB]

Oh wow!!! That looks absolutely amazing! Well done you!

[3luckystars]

That's really good. I have the same material on my chair too.

[Joopy]

A month! That would take me years! Well done, have you done any others?

[Crunched]

That is seriously good... makes me feel I should do something productive with my evenings.

[OvO]

Aww, shucks. . Thank you!

Joopy, I’ve started the Ravenclaw Crest and the Hufflepuff one but nowhere near finished. I do have a Hogwarts one done though.

[OvO]

I do do non Harry Potter ones!

[ItsAHardKn0ckLife1]

Those are beautiful OP!

[OvO]

Thanks, ItsA (your name is too long to type 😆).

I really only have my DH, DSs and parents to show stuff to and they’ve seen it at every stage so are sick of the sight of my stuff by the time I actually finish! Only so many times they can say 'oh it’s lovely'.

They are amazing well done

[JaretsGirlfren]

OP wow they are stunning! Particularly love the butterfly woman one 😍

[JaneJeffer]

Amazing! I don't know anything about HP though.

[lottielady]

I’ve never seen such beautiful cross stitch. Really amazing, OP. You’d go down a storm at craft fairs.

[elibee]

They're amazing! You must have the patience of a saint

[Binglebong]

Stunning! Really beautifully done. The hair on that butterfly lady looks so lifelike.

[TanteRose]

Wowww OvO you are very talented!
The butterfly woman is amazing

[OvO]

Now this is how you compliment someone! Just need to show my DH so he can learn!

Thank you all so so much for all the lovely comments.

[NewYoiker]

Wow

[Stickladylove88]

Do you sell them? I really like them!

[tattooq]

They are absolutely amazing OP, the shading on the snake is incredibly well done. You should sell them OP, I bet potter fans would pay a pretty penny for one.

[OvO]

I’ve never sold anything as cross stitch stuff is a hard thing to price!
No one wants to pay even just the cost of materials as it can be surprisingly expensive.

Fabric £10
Hoop £5
Threads (estimate) £15

And that’s without adding a price for the 100 hours of work it took me. Well the Harry Potter ones were 100 hours but the butterfly woman was around 300 hours.

So if anyone GIVES you a cross stitched item, even if you hate it, treasure it because they must like you a lot!

[RickOShay]

They really are beautiful, I especially like the butterfly one.
You are a natural

[Catmint]

How wonderful!
