A couple of weeks ago I posted about my new love of cross stitch, and now I’ve finished my first proper cross stitch project here are the results…
Not bad eh? Here they are one by one
I have to admit that I lost my way a bit with the carrot foliage and ended up making it up a bit as I went along, but it seems to have turned out ok!
Verdict: I’m still enjoying it…but it really does play havoc with my eyes, especially as most of the time I have to do cross stitch is in the evenings when the light isn’t so good. I’m going to attempt the Witchy Washy pattern next, but not for a little while as I have a few other things on the go at the moment.

Hobbycraft had a great little craft lamp for not much money last time I was in there – it’s got a ring shaped daylight bulb, and a magnifier built in. Might help in the evenings?
