Sprite Stitch Board!

Made this piece yesterday.
The design for the cup I got by googling "coffee cross stitch" , finding this http://www.flickr.com/photos/71753019@N00/3379278379/
The hearts are from a Swedish pattern store called fulshop.se
The caffeine molecule I googled and made a pattern of myself.
I did the molecule with one strand of black and one strand of red floss. I like the effect.

I'm not satisfied with it. So I'm going to donate it to a local café and make myself a new one.

That is quite clever and very cool! Why aren't you satisfied with it?

I think the molecule should be higher up, and also I'm not so fond of the colours. Should probably thought of that before I started stitching

lol I actually have the caffeine molecular structure as my MSN pic (since I seem to be living on caffeine these days) - you can buy t shirts and mugs with it printed on

I really like this, I think it'd look great in a kitchen. I do see what you mean when you say you think the molecule should be higher up, but it's really not that bad the way it is
I agree with LiquidKarma though, very clever & cool! I look forward to seeing your new one ^^

The big idea is to have a series of kitchen stitchings.
This one, one with a chili-pepper and the molecule structure of capsaicin, and one with a martini (or something else, haven't decided) and a representation of the ethanol molecule

EDIT: While writing this I realised that lactose would be nice as well. Then I looked it up and realised how christmasy it was: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Lacto ... zontal.png
EDIT2: And now I found the "Molecule of the Month" homepage. To the drawing table! http://www.chm.bris.ac.uk/motm/motm.htm

I've always wanted to do this because they have tshirts with caffeine's on it at ThinkGeek.

Yeah. I love the shirts from thinkgeek. But unfortunatly, international shipping is pretty expensive.
Their coffee-shirt was definitely an inspiration.

I really like it! An idea for kitchen decorations would be to pick a bunch of different things like spices or things and do stitchings of their atoms. Put the stitchings on the wall.

NICE!
And I know, right?
I ordered only ONCE from them about 4 years ago and never have again. The shipping was in crazy and then I had to shell out a ton to DHL.
I need to get a American friend to buy it for me and ship it to me as a "gift" haha.
