Well, I started on this pattern last night. My bathroom is all palm trees and I plan on hanging this little beauty over my tub. It would be nice if I ever found the time to sit and soak in my tub, but at least when I finally do I'll have something nice to look at ! 8P This kit came with aida. I'm normally not a fan of aida cloth, but I figured that I'd give it a go. I'll post pictures as I progress. This is a large chart, so no telling how long this will take me to really do. The hummingbirds and flowers is still a WIP, but at the moment this one is calling to me.
Well, the mudroom is now complete, except for the decorations. I had planned to take some family photos and put them on some ceramic tile to hang in there. I saw this on HGTV and it looked easy. Of course, I've called all over and cannot find a print shop that will do a color laser copy on photo transfer paper. What one woman told me is that they found the copier runs so hot that photo transfer paper sticks and then they end up needing to get their copier serviced. Unfortunately, the inks for my copier are not water soluble so I cannot really use my own. So, after a day of researching the process, suppliers, etc, I ended up just ordering one from
Image Snap. They use smooth tiles which wasn't the exact look I was going for, but I'm tired of chasing around. I figure the room could use a little curtain on the window, so I suppose I'm not really done, but at least it's functional.

Your mud room looks like it is coming along great, it must be so nice for the kids to have a place to put their stuff (other than on the floor of the closet). Palm trees will be really pretty, looking forward to seeing your progress. :)

It would be nicer is aida and floss was waterproof and we could soak in the tub AND stitch! Mud Room is looking good!
hmm... a mud room? I've never seen one of those here in Florida! Seems like we could use them with all of the rain we receive! It looks really nice.
I love the palm tree pattern. I may have to stitch that for my bestfriend's bathroom.
Thank you for stopping by my blog. I have added you to my links :)
