My hubby won't let me buy cross-stitch any more, I went through a phase of buying the kits far quicker than I was actually finishing them and I have piles and piles of them not even started.
I keep promising I'll do them one day, but the one I started in late 2003 is still not finished
That is beautiful, I used to do a lot of cross stitch but my condition makes it very difficult for me to coordinate my hands and to concentrate for long periods both of which are needed, I admire anyone that can spend the time and patience doing this as the results are always beautiful and it is so rewarding.
I must admit I do take great pride in my cross stitch's. I've been cross stitching for about 12 years and I've been selling them for about 6 years(Ebay). I've tried very hard to refine my techniques. There nothing better than cross stitching and orchids, unless it's cross stitching while looking at your orchids.
