I'm Going to Learn to Cross-stitch

[CanadianJingles]

I decided I want to learn how to cross-stitch and, after talking to a friend who knows how, I was inspired to get to it. We were looking on Ebay and I found one I like so I made an offer instead of just going the "buy it now" route. (New option on Ebay maybe?)

And I won! I need/want more Christmas decorations for my house. :rnament:

I'm going to get a small kit in Walmart tomorrow because I'm impatient now but I wanted to show you all my Christmas craft. I'm going to learn. :grin:

Cross-stitch is really fairly easy so you shouldn't have any problem learning how. I love that pattern too!

Very Cute!
It's a great craft! Very relaxing! Wish I did more! Have fun!

Cute Pattern!!!! You will enjoy the craft. I use to do it more.

Nice! Loved to do that...

Congratulations! I like to cross-stitch, too. It's relaxing - you can sit and watch TV while you stitch.

Nice, I love that pattern as well.

Good for you! I've done cross stitch for years, but lately (because of little ones -humans and puppies - getting into stuff) I haven't done anything for a while.

It's easy to learn and do. Something you can easily do while watching tv or waiting for an appointment.

Enjoy!

I'm hoping it will be a bit easier to do than trying to crochet with a ball of yard while my two children (almost 1y, almost 4y) are playing and moving around the livingroom.

Just out of curiousity I have to ask, why did so many of you stop doing it? It sounds like you all enjoy it.

I stopped doing Cross-stitch a few years ago when every time I worked on a project I'd get a headache and dr said my eyesight with my current prescription is just fine. The dang holes are just so small it gives me a headache.

I did it when the kids were littler and before I had them. Then my eyes got alittle worse and I moved on to other crafts. I still have several patterns and the material.

I mainly stopped because of time. I always worked on a project while watching tv on winter evenings. I no longer do that because I spend many an evening taking kids to practice or scouts, checking homework, or just hanging with the kids. Some day I hope to start again.
