Cross Stitching Revival

[badly_knitted]

After more than 18 months, I'm finally cross stitching again, it's such a pleasure to make something! Thought I'd share the finished results here - it will be nice to have a permanent record of what I've stitched as these are all destined to become birthday and Christmas cards.

wow very neat and beautiful work! my mum does those things too, unfortunately my hands are only good with pens =S

looking forward to seeing the second set of Santas!

Thank you! Cross stitch is the only kind of sewing I can do neatly, lol!

I'm working on the fourth one, then there are just two more to go, one of which I've already stitched once; I sent it to my long-time penfriend a couple of years ago, but I'm going to stitch it again so that I have a full set ready for Christmas! I'll need to stitch lots more Christmas cards though, because I seem to have lost all the ones I've already stitched. I think they might have accidentally been put in storage while the house renovations were being done.

So do I! *hugs*

I'm so glad I'm getting back into it now - I couldn't motivate myself to da anything over winter, I get the winter blues, aka SAD, rather badly sometimes, but I'm happily stitching again now so I hope that will continue!

They're lovely! Especially your Santas! And I love all the colours. Great work!

Edits - And your cows are sweet too!

Thanks! I love that the colours for these designs are that little bit different - Santa in bright pink! Very modern =)

Lol, the cows are the reason I've stayed with this layout longer than any other, they always make me smile!
