Who likes to Cross Stitch and are you doing a project now?

I'm totally nuts about cross stitch! I work on 1 project at a time and I only take on things that are huge or very detailed so it usually takes me 6months to a year to get them done but I LOVE it!
My fav thing to do it switch out the colors and make the design into something that will match the colors I use throughout my house. I just finished something last week actually, it took me about 8 months to do (took a 4 month break in the middle bc I went back to work) I'll post the link if I can.
What I find is that I can only cross stitch if I'm not working. I have a 1 yr old and a 3 yr old, so when I'm not running around playing with or cleaning up after them I'm working on the house and making sure everything's done. So the only time I have to stitch is nap time and after they've gone to bed for the night and when I was working, I was always waaayyyyy too tired to stay up late and stitch.

I really like to cross-stitch and I have been working on a Santa picture. It's going to be beautiful, but it has a lot of blended colors and metallic threads which make the needle hard to pull through the fabric.

I wish I had the time/energy/skill/supplies to do my own framing. I love to cross-stitch but can't afford to pay to have things framed.

Looks great! Inspires me to get back to one of my many half-completed projects!

When I was a kid, I used to do ALL kinds of projects with my mom. Sewing, quilting, crocheting, decupauge (sp?), knitting, cross stitch, macrama .... And mpre! But I haven done ANY kind of project in probably 25 yrs!! As I have been missing my mom more and more, I am pulled to start working on these types of projects again. New Years resolution: start being craftie/creative again!! I just started a cross stitch sampler ... Snowman w/reindeer. A super easy beginner piece. Lets see if I can pull off this little trail piece. Good luck me!!
