It must have been bad timing. Maybe my brain wasn't ready to take on a new skill. Maybe I wasn't mature enough to see it as a simple and cheap form of therapy.
I am so thankful that I gave it another chance in the past year because embroidery, needlepoint, cross stitch or whatever you want to call it, is my most favorite thing to do.
here are a few things i've done for fun or for family and friends:
Hank is my Hero.
a friend of mine saw this lil seahorsey and wants it so I'll be giving it a new home soon
I love you more than....
this one was especially fun and meaningful to do for my mom. it was her christmas present and I hope she loves it.
I made this one for Camille
This was Megs Christmas Present
little deer - this was a cute one. I started out doing it just for fun but my dear friend Brittany saw it and asked if we could do an art trade. She sent me a beautifully painted fox.
this was for Chantelle
I made this special for Sarah. She was pleased.
this was a birthday gift for Lisa
... and about 10 other ones I haven't finished yet. I think I'm getting better with each new project.

I love these Candice! Where you do you find your patterns? Are you making them up yourself?
Lisa! I find a lot of my patterns online. If I find an image I really like I'll take it and tweak it to suit my fancy. Some of them are made up by me. I've purchased patterns from sublimestitching.com too which is a favorite of mine.
Couldn't be any prouder of you! These are so creative and well done. Makes me so happy that you find as much joy in stitching as I do. (the one you gave me for Christmas pulls on my heart strings every time I look at it! love it so much!!!)
you have inspired me to pick up this hobby... I learned a long long time ago when I was even smaller than I am now but kind of forgot about it... all. I need to save some money so I can afford a kit!
