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
