Finally!


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.

  2. Those fairies are very complicated little creatures. Actually it was the sleeves and ruffles on the dress that almost did me in.

  3. 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!

  4. 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...
