My mom taught me how to cross-stitch when I was younger, about 13 years old. I never finished the project she started me on. It was a basket of flowers that said "Kindness is Contagious." Who knows where it is today?
Then about two years ago my best friend took up crocheting. I wanted to do a craft but I didn't know what. Then I remembered I knew a little about counted cross-stitch. I bought an easy kit of two hummingbirds. I was immediately addicted!
I began buying all of the DMC floss colors, books, patterns, fabric and anything else related to cross-stitch. I have all of my cross-stitch stuff organized in a closet in my house. There are tons of patterns in my "To Do" binder.
Of course I never finished the hummingbirds because I was eager to move on to something else. I tried to finish it later but I accidentally threw out the thread. My first project I finished was two Siamese cats I made into a pillow. I have been stitching ever since!
My goal this summer is to finish all of my ongoing projects so I can start new things in the fall. I plan to post my current projects on this blog and hopefully meet my goal.
