Only a few more days till my husband comes home, and I find myself keeping busy to make the time pass more quickly.
Today I felt the need to put in some old Stargate dvd's, park on the couch, and hand-stitch.
This is my first time doing cross-stitch...pretty much ever. I mean I had one or two attempts when I was 9 years old or so, but I was too impatient for anything that wasn't quick. Cross-stitch is not quick. At. All.
Working on such tiny stitches with nothing but a printout of some pixelated images was definitely not as relaxing as, say, a nice back-stitch or some hand quilting. But I find cross stitch lends itself particularly well to this kind of image, and the end result is very satisfying.
I can't say yet what this is for, but I can already say that I won't be keeping it. Which is a little sad for me, but I'll get over it. Most of what I make I give away anyway.
Happy Wednesday!
Those are very cute! Cross stitch is really fun once you get into it.

ReplyDeleteIt's official. We'd totally be BFFs in real life.....
ReplyDeletePretty cute. I cross stitch and I feel it isn't quick either. I love the look of it though and I think that's why I do it. I find embroidering is much more relaxing.
ReplyDeleteThose are cute! And what tiny cross stitch. I don't know if I'd have the patience for that. Can't wait to see the finish!
ReplyDeleteIf there ever is a reason for the existance of cross stitch, I'm pretty sure imitating pixel-ated computer images would be it.
ReplyDeleteI've never tried cross stitch, but I'm sure I will someday!
This is a great blogg
