I see lots of patterns in my future!

I've made some little progress on my new project. [I've had a hard time getting into it but since I have a deadline looming over my head I can't be all that lazy about it. Not that I ever was with my other projectsAs you can see this looks remarkably like a hippo in water or perhaps a car up on a lift. I'd bet money you'd never actually guess that

\o/ the more I hear that the more I think this could actually work. I'd be very happy to only do commissions if that's what people are most interested in.

I have a hard time seeing what I do as taking skill, time and patience sure but I'm following a pattern so it feels like its on the same level as a paint by numbers. Which is when my sister points out that she's simply following a pattern with her crocheting but that still feels more impressive to me that cross-stitching. I've basically convinced myself that I'm crazy as that is what I'm told ^_~

This is very true! I haven't done anything as bad as loose a line since Todd, just on occasion the wrong color on a stitch but that's something no one but me would even notice ^_~

I was planning on bringing Romeo and the photograph to the bazaars so people would have a clear example. I've also got plans to make a picture from Peggy's Cover and Lunenburg.

My sister also suggested some little Christmas things, like a really small cross-stitch that could be used as an ornament for a tree. But I haven't a clue what I'd stitch on them. At least I have a lot of time to think about it. I'm not positive that I'd legally be able to sell Todd if I ever did him again as he's based off a painting by Sue Colman and you're actually supposed to include her signature in the patter [which you will note I never did ^_~] but I don't know what that means for copy rights and such
