Cross stitch

[geekchick]

I finally finished a craft project! I think the last thing I finished would've been a crocheted blanket around 18 months ago. I'm good at starting things, but not so good with finishing them. =/

Anyway, I had this kit that brian1789 got for me a while back and I decided a couple of evenings ago that it was well past time to work on it. I don't know why I haven't been doing more cross stitch; I think I actually enjoy it more than crochet, although that may be related to the fact I know the bare minimum about crochet and haven't really done much work to change that lately. (See above about not being good about finishing things.)

The pattern is from Subversive Cross Stitch; here it is hot off the hoop, as you can see from the fabric. Needs pressing, and then an appropriate frame.

In general, I'm very attracted to cross-stitch, but don't see it as "useful." I have a couple of Yule present ideas that I might try . . . we'll see.

But that? That doesn't need to be useful, it's just cool. :)

I love that it has the bunnies on either side of the naughty language :) Well done!

The Bunnies and the Duckies totally make that.

Well, and the fact that you made it. But you know.

I keep meaning to get one of those kits and forgetting about it ... :-D Yay finished product!

[geekchick]

Yeah, this is exactly as useful as it needs to be. ;) I showed it to a coworker, and I think I'm going to have to make one for her now too.

The bunnies and duckies and pastels are the best parts. ;) I think this one might be next. Hee!

[geekchick]

Oh, it is totally the pastel bunnies and duckies that make this pattern so fabulous. XD

This has been sitting here for a very long time, waiting for me to get around to it. To be fair, it was in my office; once things get put in my office at home, it usually takes a very long time and a couple of search parties to get it to come out again.

That's lovely!!

And I need a few of those for my office, I think....

Given your job at times, as soon as I saw it I knew I had to get one for you... ;-)
