My fiance and I recently moved into a new apartment. The first thing he asked for was a hook in the front entranceway to hang his keys. A simple hook? No way, I see a craft project!
Inspired by
this Zelda key hook, I've undertaken my first video game themed cross stitch project.
I started with a
pattern from moonprincessluna on deviantART and
one from the Sprite Stitch boards and then did some tweaking and added the cave walls in myself. (My first attempt at pattern making!). Here's what it will look like:
I just finished stitching the walls and thought I'd post a WIP (it looks quite pink in the pic but is a much nicer colour in real life).
I have no idea how I'm going to turn this into a key hook when I'm done (since there's no way I'm screwing a hook through the cross stitch...), but, in the meantime, the fiance doesn't seem too mad about having to continue storing his keys on the floor
:
It looks wonderful!
