I must be out of my tiny mind

New cross stitch project, because I cannot be idle, even if I'm on the sofa feeling like something the cat dragged in. "Seidhr" from art work by Marc Potts. 400 stitches x 622 stitches, over a metre high. Yeah, I'm officially insane.

You can! I bought the design online as a download and have printed the pattern out http://heavenandearthdesigns.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=160_57&products_id=6433 Be warned though, they have SO many gorgeous designs!

I haven't done cross stitch for years, but I loved it and felt like starting something which would keep me going for a few years. I know it's crazy, what with all the creative bits and pieces I do, but I couldn't resist this pattern and with the Norse links, it was doubly irresistible!

AHHHHHHHHHHHH!! No word of a lie, that exact design was the first thing I ever stitched!! Mum has it framed on her living room wall! Wow, that's a complicated one, but so beautiful.

Yeah, I can't get into the small ones, it's epic or nothing with me *eyeroll*

Her designs are absolutely stunning, I agree. Actually, I've only stitched two and that horse was one. There's something about the intricacy and sheer time involved which appeals to me. Weird, I suppose.

Although this is quite appealing as a little side project...http://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/160935971/cross-stitch-pattern-tree-of-gondor?ref=sr_gallery_1&ga_search_query=Cross+Stitch&ga_view_type=gallery&ga_ship_to=GB&ga_search_type=all&ga_includes[0]=tags&ga_facet=gondor+cross+stitch

AAAGGHHHH!!

Ok, got to get to my work shop, the 'day job' is calling!
