I love cross stitch and wsh I could do more.

Very relaxing and satisfying to create something beautiful. Such crafts are making a come-back in all generations. Glad that you have some projects and progress being made. Have to upload a picture too!

Cross stitch is good for relaxing.

Cross stitch is simply wonderful!

never done it myself but it always looks so good have fun

That’s awesome. You never know miss two might want to learn to do it eventually too.

I enjoy getting my knitting out – it feels nice to create something

What a nice way to spend some rainy nights 🙂

I have been thinking about learning but been very busy.

Cross stitch is a great and satisfying way to spend some free time.

I think about taking up a craft while bub is sleeping, then i look at a cupboard and decide to rearrange it. Having a baby has allowed me to get our home life in organisational order.

I’ve always loved cross-stitch, and I’ve done lots over the years, especially when I worked on cruise ships, as it was something I could do in my cabin. Hard to do now because arthritis in my hands, and eye-sight problems, means it’s really difficult. Don’t leave it until you’re “old & grey” to do things like this, as you may find that by then, your body will have issues that prevent you doing the embroidery.

I love doing cross stitching and have done many over the years but I have 2 really really big ones and I have to admit I have been doing one for alot of years now but it will get finished before I take my last breath lol I have done many for the kids and Grand kids. I also love e bay for cheap iteams and no postage on most things

Winnie the Pooh sounds adorable. I did a lovely bear with balloons project many years ago that is in my sons room. Sadly I didn’t finish one of the Peter Rabbit projects I had and somehow ran out of or lost some of the thread in a move. Luckily I had mum on hand to make a beautiful birth sampler for my son that I proudly hang in the hallway near his bedroom. Here is just a snippet of it.

I haven’t cross-stitched in years- my life is just too busy. Perhaps when I’m old & grey I’ll pick up the needle & thread again

  Does tend to get a bit that way. Life just caught up with me.

I love cross stitch, but since having a stroke last year – when my daughter was 4 weeks old – well, the combination of serious illness and new baby means I haven’t done any for nearly 18 months.
