Cross Stitch

Show and Tell

I started cross stitching about a million years ago. And then like so many other things, sadly, it fell by the wayside for a very long time. Then, one day I happened to be surfing and I found some wonderful patterns that I had never seen before. I suppose it was because I hadn't been looking for so very many years! None the less, I felt a tug and that little stitiching bug bit me big time. So as hard as it was to just pick a few new charts and kits, I did.

I had forgotten all the good things about stitiching, like being absorbed in the linen and watching the pattern come to life. The sense of accomplishment when you see your hard work coming alive before your very eyes. And as with all things good, there are bad too. Oh, I have my moments when my thread gets knotted or I have to rip out what I spent hours doing because I miscounted by one little itty bitty thread in the linen, but that just goes with the territory.

So here is one of my latest projects. This is one that I finished just a short time ago. Now all it needs is a new frame and to be hung on my wall.
