+NEW PATTERNS+ DR ROBOTNIK'S MEAN BEAN MACHINE - DUMBOT Nos 9, 10, 11 and 12 ... plus Dr Robotnik!!!

Howdo guys!

Hope your weekend is off to a good start.

Firstly, let me apologise for my tardiness (again).  The last few month's on Planet Cazzy have not been the best, and my lack of motivation has prevented me from updating the blog as often as I would like.

As a result, this will probably be the last set of patterns that I upload for a while, as I don't have anything new in the pipeline at the current time :(

Life sucks sometimes!

So, without further ado, here they are:

Dumbot #9 - Spike

 

Dumbot #10 - Sir Ffuzzy-Logic

Dumbot #11 - Dragon Breath

Dumbot #12 - Scratch

THE BOSS -- DR. ROBOTNIK!

I have uploaded them to BOX.net in the "SEGA" sub-folder of "Gaming" along with the rest of the series.  These were a lot of fun to chart, so I hope you enjoy stitching them.

As always, if you stitch my patterns, please let me see pics :) x

So that's all I have, for now!

Till next time ... keep Kalm and cross-stitch!

If you're on Facebook, don't forget to follow me there too, as I tend to update there more often!

Till next time ... keep Kalm and cross stitch! :) x

+NEW PATTERN+ NEW SERIES - DR. ROBOTNIK'S MEAN BEAN MACHINE [in 8-bit glory]! DUMBOT #1 - ARMS

Back in the 1990's one of my favourite games was Dr Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine on the SEGA Megadrive.   It was a sonic-themed puzzler in the style of the Japanese puzzler "Puyo-Puyo", but damn, it was sooooooooo addictive!  Me and my friend used to get really competitive playing it!

Came across the sprites for the 8-bit version (I had it on the Game Gear too - it was harder), on the internet whilst looking for new ideas and I thought they would convert to cross-stitch really well!

There are 13 stages in total and each "boss" gets progressively harder.

First stage is "Arms"- he's pretty straight forward:

You can download the pattern via BOX.net (in the SEGA sub-folder of GAMING).

BTW, feel free to stitch this however way you want, I stitched him like this:

Well that's all for now - the other 12 bosses will follow in due time.

Till next time … keep Kalm and cross-stitch :) x

+NEW PATTERN+ Sonic & Knuckles

Greetings guys!

Hope you're all looking forward to your weekend!

It's time for another new pattern, and today we're staying with the gaming theme, but I thought it was time for me to introduce a new project I've been working on lately - Sonic the Hedgehog!

I've always been a huge fan of SEGA's speedy blue mascot (although I'm not very good at the games), and I've been thinking about doing some Sonic themed charts for a while.  The first chart I have made is the logo from the 1994 Megadrive classic "Sonic 3 and Knuckles":

I've always been a fan of this logo, and I've been wanting to do something with it pretty much since the game came out, but for one reason or another, never got round to it.  I only decided to give it the cross-stitch treatment this year.

I finished charting it late yesterday and had the PDF drawn up so that I could get it uploaded today.  

I'll probably do more Sonic themed patterns in the future, and give Sonic his own folder on BOX.net, but for now the pattern has been uploaded to the "Miscellaneous" folder in 'Gaming'.

Enjoy!

Till next time ... keep Kalm and cross-stitch
