One Done

Way back in February I wrote this post about all the unfinished projects I discovered packed away in boxes. I have been diligently working on the first one and finished it the other night. All that remains is to get a frame for it.

I won't bore you with all the frustrating mistakes I made on this first ever cross stitch project (I mean, really, who manages to get indelible ORANGE marker on their fabric?). Suffice it to say, it is not perfect. But I am happy with it, and enjoyed it enough to begin another one.

I find I have to sneak a little knitting in here and there. It just calls to me sometimes.

So without further ado - project number one:



Blessings,
Linda

    Linda, I think that is an absolutely
    darling piece. I really love it. I
    have been cross stitching for over
    twenty-five years and still love it
    as much today as I did the first time
    I stitched.
    Blessings,
    Sandy

    It is beautiful, Linda! I remember that post about all of those projects. This encourages me. So, it's not too late? :)

    Thank you, dear friend, for your sweet words after my difficult day. It means so much.

    There's something peaceful about cross stitch. This is a precious scene, love the colours.

    way to go on getting a project almost completed.
