cross-stitch jewelry
Not only have I fallen in love with cross-stitch work for the wall (more cross-stitch love posts to come!), I'm also smitten with wearable cross-stitch.
On my Christmas wish list, earrings by The Pin Pals, a duo based in Montreal:

cross-stitch love: andwabisabi
Since I started cross-stitching again a few months ago, I've found a lot of excellent cross-stitchers doing fun and unique work. Over the next few weeks, I'll share some of my favorites.
First up are designs from andwabisabi. Grace is the gal behind andwabisabi and her Etsy shop features a variety of cute and quirky patterns (like glass beakers, hamburgers, and soy sauce bottles). What I especially love are Grace's simple text and heart designs...
...and her use of colored fabrics for backgrounds.
I'm also completely smitten with these covered button magnets:
I love the idea of cross-stitching on small and unexpected surfaces. These designs would also be adorable on pin-back buttons.

Loving this monoprint by Anna Betts.
I love the droopy quality the blind contour drawing lends the chandelier.
Check out Anna's excellent blog and Etsy shop.

I think they'd make an excellent, personalized wedding gift, especially when paired with a set of handmade napkins.
