finish my cross stitch

I really like this pattern, but I can see it’s going to take me FOREVER. This portion is the very center of the design, and it stretches out quite far in all directions. Quite an undertaking, but it’ll be fun. :)

that I was originally working on with this goal is no more. :( I tried to rip out some misplaced stitches…and ended up cutting a hole in the adidas cloth. Not good. I don’t know if I can salvage it. In the meantime it’s in a bag in my closet and will come out again when I feel brave enough to face it.

Looking on the bright side, I started another sampler that I really like. It uses a lot of colors and is full of flowers and cute motifs. I’m excited to be starting something new.

I really don’t need a new hobby. I have enough hobbies to choke a large horse. But I found a lovely cross-stitch that I started years ago when I was cleaning out my closet. I love the pattern so I hope I can finish it and give it a more fitting place on the wall.
