Show off your Cross Stitching!


The one on the left is a butterfly picture I'm making for my grandmother. It came in a kit.
The one on the right is an angel with a violin. I'm making it for my sister. The pattern is from one of my mom's old cross-stitching magazines.

Before my mom lost the feeling in her hands she used to cross stitch a lot. She also used to make her own dreamcatchers. She was a crafty woman.

I've never actually finished a cross-stitch. But I know how to do them! They're really fun. I always run out of string or lose interest or something, though.

when I was 8 or 9 I learned how to cross-stitch, by now I've probably forgotten everything but I think it's a pretty cool medium. I don't see myself picking it up anytime soon but I think there are some really cool things you can do with it. I think of it like pixel art for RL.

you could have been fine, you could have made it, you could licked the lips of god but you chose the pavement.

Hehe. Yeah. Those two up there? I've been working on them for *years*. I do some work on them for awhile, then something else gets my attention, and I set it aside for a few months, then I'll be cleaning or something and find it and pick it up again.
Run out of string? Just go down to a fabric/craft store (or Wal-Mart, they've got it too) and pick up some DMC. They're actually pretty cheap.

I bought a cross stitch kit for my parents yesterday, a cute sampler style thingy for their 25th wedding anniversary, pics to follow when there's some actual stitches done.
