I accomplished one of my goals for this week. I had to share the picture. I really do love to cross-stitch but it has taken a second place to my writing. I've been working on this particular project for nearly two years. Now I did cross-stitch a few book markers during the same time. And I crocheted two afghans also.
Right now, my crafting project is an afghan for my son starting Penn State in the fall. I made one for all my kids in their college colors when they left home. Something of mom to keep them warm on a cold winter's night. LOL.
So here's my cross-stitch, the protector of small children fairy.

Hi Susan
That's beautiful..
I know what you mean about it taking a long time.. I too have been working years on the same project - mine is a fairie on a tree branch.
Hugs
Those fairies are very complicated little creatures. Actually it was the sleeves and ruffles on the dress that almost did me in.
Congratulations, Susan! I agree with Nicole - it's beautiful.
Where do you get your patterns? Ironically, I was in the mood to revive my cross-stitch habit a week or so ago, but could not find my old materials, and am not sure where I even used to buy things!
Thanks, Lisa. I found this pattern in a book I bought at Michael's craft store. It has six lovely fairy patterns. If only I had the time...
