Computer clocks

They are completely Yaroslav's idea. Well, not an invent, they are on etsy already. But Yaroslav don't search on etsy frequently and the idea was in his head long before we discovered etsy.
Here they are:




And two clocks are already sold. Yay! More to come!

Tutorial: How to make an ideal back for your cross stitch

For some project the ideal back is very important. Recently I've made a custom order with handkerchiefs. Of course, the back side must be perfect, you can't hide one side of handkerchief and don't show it anyone.
So here the tutorial how I made it.
You'll need very thin needle. I used needle for beading for smallest beads. If you find it hard to stitch with this needle for the start you can use the regular one. I stabbed my fingers with it, it is not the funniest thing.
 
Start you embroidery leaving the end of the thread on the front side in the upper left corner of cross stitch:
Hide it beneath your next stitches:

Stitch all pattern or before you have 10 cm thread. If you use regular needle it is time to cut the thread near eye of needle and take the thin one.
Very carefully thread the needle under few stitches:
Extend the needle and all thread:
And cut the thread carefully near the stitch:
Now your front and back sides looked perfect:

And here is finished design:

Good luck with crafting!
