This was so much fun. If you're looking for something creative to do with your hands that you can pick up while your husband's watching the game or you're looking for a quiet afternoon while the children nap, pick up your cross stitch and create a little!
Once I started this one, I could not put it down. I just had to finish it and see what I could do.
I'm looking for hobbies like this that I can do with my hands and give away! I'll have to keep some, of course, but I'd like to give most of them away. We will most likely send our kids to a local private school where they hold an auction every year to raise money. I'm hoping that some of my finger skills will be good enough by them to donate some of my work. I really have a wonderful feeling of accomplishment. It's great!
For my next cross stitch I've been looking at the ones of famous paintings and a few by a European company called Vervaco. But first, I need to figure out how to use my sewing machine!
This cross stitch took me about 2 weeks and I will be hanging it in the boys room. Very proud of this one for being my first one since elementary school.
