This morning I bring to you the hot, sandy world of ancient Egypt. One of the really cool things about ancient Egypt is hieroglyphs, a pictoral form of communication. Took a long time for people to work out what those little drawings meant but, thanks to the Rosetta Stone, we got here eventually. And now instead of painting them on walls we can...sew them!
This image is actually for a PDF file. StitchesByKryss is a shop filled with gorgeous cross-stitch patterns that are emailed straight to you, and they include this beautiful Tutankhamun cartouche pattern, you print off the instructions and set about with your owl little sewing project. She includes an explanation of each hieroglyph, and I love the choice of colours she has used. Her other Egyptian inspired patterns include a winged goddess, a lotus design, and the Eye of Horus, and are definitely worth checking out.
