Well since it is Wednesday I thought I would share my workdesk… today I am spending the day in my florida room enjoying the sounds of nature and a mild 70’s kinda day just cross stitching my heart out 🙂 See!!!
I am checking on my blog and have a yellow sticky note with directions to start a paper bag album 🙂 I like to make notes on intricate projects I want to make and think about them so something like this works well for me to plan ahead.
As far as the cross stitching goes… I have made some progress since yesterdays post…
Have you ever done a cross stitch project?
Tips for making an enjoyable cross stitch include having a good sturdy but dull needle with a large eye for all the thicker thread you use.
While I am cross stitching my honey is stripping the paint off a chair he is refinishing… I didn’t get much of a before pic… but will try to find one to share with the final pic 🙂
Finally, the best news is last 🙂 The quilt I made my son was featured on Sugar Bee Crafts website here! Go check it out and leave some love there 🙂 Thanks!!!
Here is a cross stitch I did last fall to “gear up” for this larger piece I am doing now. It would be a great started and the frame I found onsale really rocks the design of the cross stitch even more I think. Framing a piece you spend time making is worth it … just like embellishments make a paper craft go from nice to AWESOME! lol
Have a blessed day!

Congrats! I tried cross-stitching and it was not my thing. I'm going to stick to paper crafting.
