J - A-Z Cross Stitching Style

J is for Jigglypuff and John

The letter of the day is J.  I'm cross stitching two of my alphabet patterns for the A-Z challenge - a Pokemon one and a Supernatural one.  Both patterns (plus may others) are available from my Etsy store.  

The Pokemon Alphabet

 J is for Jigglypuff, the round pink Pokemon.  A favourite of the "Lass" characters who challenge you to battles in the original version of the game.  Jigglypuff evolves into Wigglytuff, who is nowhere near as cute.

The Supernatural Alphabet

J is for John Winchester, Dean and Sam's often-absent father.  I didn't like John.  I didn't like the way the brothers' characteristics changed when he was around.  I didn't like the way he walked out on his sons.  I didn't like the way he forced them into a life that they may not have chosen for themselves.  I'm sure he was written with good intentions but...

I - A-Z Cross Stitch Style

I is for Ivysaur and IT Genius

Day 9 of the A to Z challenge is I.  I'm cross stitching two of my alphabet patterns for the challenge - a Pokemon one and a Supernatural one.  Both patterns (plus may others) are available from my Etsy store.  

The Pokemon Alphabet

I is for Ivysaur, Bulbasaur's first evolution.  Unlike the other starter Pokemon (where the third evolution was used) I'm stitching the middle evolution - mostly because it starts with I!  As a plant-based Pokemon, Ivysaur was very useful against water-type (which is the first gym) so a good one to start with... although it wasn't much good once you started reaching fire/lightning Pokemon.

The Supernatural Alphabet

 I'm slightly cheating here, with I standing for the IT Genius, Ash.  This isn't going to be the last one I cheat with either.  Ash, with his sleeveless plaid shirts and 80s mullet, didn't look like much of a character when he was first introduced, however it wasn't long before his computer knowledge was helping save the world... although it did for him in the end.  This show is a bit like Game of Thrones - everyone dies (including the lead characters) - just not everyone stays dead.  Ash's appearance in the levels/rooms/stages of heaven was brilliant.

H - A-Z Cross Stitch Style

H is for Haunter and Jo Harvelle

Today in the A-Z Challenge is H.  I'm cross stitching two of my alphabet patterns for the challenge - a Pokemon one and a Supernatural one.  Both patterns (plus may others) are available from my Etsy store.  

The Pokemon Alphabet

H is for Haunter, the ghost Pokemon.  I love his purple highlights.  I was never a fan of the ghost Pokemon really when I played so really don't have much to say about him.  Should have spoken to my brother and sister-in-law before writing this post! :)

 

The Supernatural Alphabet

H is for Jo Harvelle, Ellen's daughter (star of the 'E' post).  Jo had a lot of character and spunk - she knew her mind and did her own thing, right up to the end.  Again, she was a victim to the writers' habit of killing off their strong female characters, which was very sad and disappointing, as she was a character I enjoyed watching.

Over at Travel Like A Geek I am working my way through an A-Z of the filming locations used in the Harry Potter series.  H is for Homes.

Happy stitching,

G - A-Z Cross Stitch Style

G is for Geodude and Gabriel

Time for G in the A-Z Challenge.  I'm cross stitching two of my alphabet patterns for the challenge - a Pokemon one and a Supernatural one.  Both patterns (plus may others) are available from my Etsy store. 

The Pokemon Alphabet

G is for Geodude, the rock pokemon, and usually the first rock Pokemon I would catch when playing the original game.  I love the way his evolutions all look like karate fighters.  Rock solid.  I've been binge-watching Full House this week so I'm getting caught on the "dude" part of his name, hearing Michelle say "No problems, Dude" in my head.

The Supernatural Alphabet

G is for Gabriel the Trickster.  I loved his character - the way he was always able to get the better of the Winchester brothers, no matter what they tried.  I'm still not sure what I think about the reveal that he was actually an angel, although it did explain why he always won.

Over at Travel Like A Geek I am working my way through an A-Z of the filming locations used in the Harry Potter series.  G is for Gloucester Cathedral.

Happy Stitching,

F - A-Z Cross Stitch Style

F is for Farfetch'd and the Four Horsemen

We're up to E in the A-Z Challenge.  I'm cross stitching two of my alphabet patterns for the challenge - a Pokemon one and a Supernatural one.  Both patterns (plus may others) are available from my Etsy store.  

The Pokemon Alphabet

 F is for Farfetch'd, the Pokemon with an apostrophe in its name.  He carries a leek in his mouth, so does that make him a Welsh Pokemon?

The Supernatural Pokemon

F is for the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.  The Four Horsemen were called by the approaching apocalypse in season 5 prior to Lucifer's release.  In order (from left to right) they are War, Pestilence, Famine and Death.  I liked Famine's incarnation in the show - wheelchair and oxygen tank and everything.  Death is the only one to have continued to reappear throughout the series.  They were rather time consuming to stitch, taking more than a day!

Over at Travel Like A Geek I am working my way through an A-Z of the filming locations used in the Harry Potter series.  F is for the forests.

Happy Stitching
