186. Bad Stitchuation
Since I make crafty things and then don’t want to keep them, would anyone like to buy this (unframed, as is)? Put bids in the comments, and any profits after fees and postage will go to Mermaids, which is a great UK charity in support of trans* kids and their families. Bidding closes at 9pm GMT on Tuesday 23rd July 2013, a week from now. (Edit: Sold! Donation details here.)
Measurements
Fabric is 13 x 13cm, or 5 x 5in. Cage is 7.5cm high total, or 3in.
For those curious about the original pattern, here’s the photo. It shows the colours better, too. You should be able to click on it to see a bigger version.

I can’t read the comments on twitter, but I wants it. I’ll happily give you £15 for it.
Hurrah! An opening bid. 🙂
I was wondering if you can see my e-mail for when the auction finishes?
BTW I love your decorated mugs, especially the dotty one! Would you be able to do a repeat of it (or something similar)?
Hello! I am so sorry, I’ve been overwhelmed with lifey things for the past few days, it has all gone a bit wonky. But I am here, and I will email you (I have your email address on my comments page). Thank you for poking me. 🙂
I remember which charity shop I got the dotty mug from, and I think they had a few; I will try to go back there and see if they still have some. I don’t know how long that will take though. But I will do my best.
Completely missed this! But it’s very beautiful and I would happily take part in something like this if you did it again. 🙂
Thank you for saying so! I have a couple more cross stitch kits that are too twee and are calling out for me to modify their patterns, so if any of them are PiP-ish when they’re done I’ll make sure to post them here. 🙂
Nothing to do with the cross stitch, but I am anxiously waiting for news of my metamour, who is having a baby, with their partner who is my gf too, and I am a looong way away and having FEELINGS. (Good feelings! excitement! concern! weird deep ‘family’ typed thoughts!)
Here seemed like somewhere I could express this and be heard. This comic: made of awesome.
Oh my word, I am awaiting news of a friend of mine who is also having a baby! Are they the same person?? :O
Yup, unless you are waiting on news of more than one 🙂 Manchester is closer to Edinburgh (where I am) than swansea is, but it still feels ever such a long way away right now! This is the biggest thing in my head and I have to not mention it when my mum calls me and so on and it is tricky. Am sending aaaalll the good thoughts Kai-wards atm 🙂
I am a little closer than Swansea at the mo, but it is still very far away! Eep! I’m sure Kai is doing fiiiine, judging on historical birth-giving, but I still want to be sure!
I am fine and baby now exists in the world! 😀

OH MY GOODNESS BEAUTEOUS MINIHUMAN!!! Edit: Okay, I am still thinking in caps but I have calmed my typing down…! Nice work, excellent ones. 😀
Do you know where I can get that pattern? I’m planning to learn cross stitch, and that one looks like it might be fun to do…
I just had a look at the DMC website in the mini kits section, and it looks like they don’t make it any more. However, I did find it here: http://www.samueltaylors.co.uk/dmc-mini-vintage-cross-stitch-kit-birdcage.ir?cName=haberdashery-cross-stitch-kits
