I'm not sure if I'm happy with this. I've already changed some colors and where they go. Still think the green is too dark, as well as the red. Well, that's why it's important to play with everything before committing to a final design. #benitamakes #wip #bauhaus #crossstitch #crossstitchofbluesky

My first actual Bauhaus influenced design. I enjoyed this very much. The colors and details are fun. I'm looking forward to exploring this and other early 20th century art. #benitamakes #crossstitch #bauhaus #wip #craft #crossstitchofbluesky #ilovecrossstitch

I couldn't sleep, so worked more on my Bauhaus design. I love how the colors bounce off one another. #Bauhaus #crossstitch #benitamakes #wip #workinprogress #crossstitchofbluesky #ilovecrossstitch #iloveembroidery

After deciding that my previous design was more 1950s Atomic Art than Bauhaus, I designed something closer to what I see online and in some of the books I have. Of course, it gives me more ideas. #benitamakes #bauhaus #crossstitch #wip #workinprogress #crossstitchofbluesky #ilovecrossstitch

This is coming together so well. It's based on a design I found although I've altered it to suit my taste better. This has given me the encouragement to design my own original patterns. I can't wait to see this finished #benitamakes #bauhaus #crossstitch #crossstitchofbluesky #wip #craft #embroidery

More working on my Bauhaus cross stitch. I am loving the abstractness of this and it's really holding my attention. This is a huge win for my ADHD brain. #bauhaus #benitamakes #crossstitch #crossstitchofbluesky #wip #abstractart #ilovecrossstitch #iloveembroidery

My newest mini cross stitch series (#2) is going to focus on art styles of the first part of the 20th century. This one is looking at Bauhaus art, which I love.

Series One of 12 patterns is available for free on www.benitastory.com.

It's done! This is the last design in a series of 12. I still need to finalize the last two, then get everything up on www.benitastory.com Remember, all of the patterns are free, and make quick projects to do. #benitamakes #crossstitch #crossstitchofbluesky #embroidery #ilovecrossstitch

Only one more color to go on this design. I absolutely love the plaid in this pattern. I think this is one of my favorites of those I've created. #benitamakes #crossstitch #crossstitchofbluesky #wip #workinprogress #crafts #plaid

Newest cross stitch design will play off on my love of plaids and quilts. #benitamakes #crossstitch #crossstitchofbluesky #plaids

Latest me-designed cross stitch pattern. Simple design, but the dark background made it a challenge for my aging eyes. The next one will be on much lighter aida cloth. This will join the other free cross stitch patterns on www.benitastory.com #crossstitch #benitamakes #crossstitchofbluesky

Back to cross stitch. I love how patterns look on dark cloth, but, oh, it is hard on old eyes. 😁 #benitamakes #wip #workinprogress #crossstitch #crossstitchofbluesky #embroidery #ilovecrossstitch #iloveembroidery

I really love how this cross stitch is turning out. It's intricate and I love how the colors create their own designs. #benitamakes #artistmade #crossstitch #workinprogress #embroidery #crossstitchofbluesky #iloveembroidery #ilovecrossstitch

Remember that cross stitch I did on gold fabric that I didn't like? Well, it made a beautiful pillow for a doll's couch. A great use of a creative fail. #crossstitch #benitamakes #dollfurniture #creativefailfix #crossstitchofbluesky

I am working on my newest cross stitch design and realized this part, repeated, would make an awesome border for a skirt or tunic. Hmmm...

This one is called Seesaw and it looks so much better on lavender than on gold. I'm so happy! The pattern will be up for free on www.benitastory.com in a couple of days as it joins the other free patterns

Redoing this cross stitch pattern on the lavender is making me happy. Also, doing it on 14 count rather than the accidental 11 count is better, too.

Another designed-by-me cross stitch. I think this is #7. This one is called Roundabout. The free pattern should be up on my website in the next few days.
