It'll be awhile before I pick up another cross stitch project, for sure. Still not quite sure if I should just frame this or sew a decorative door hanger pillow with the finished piece. Oh well, at least the stitching is done (47 of 50). 
I was obviously optimistic about my ability to do cross-stitch. Early in November, I downloaded a freebie pattern ("Christmas Morning" by Felicity Hall) and figured I could get this done in a couple of weeks...right?
Here's what it looked like on the first day...
and here's where I'm at 4 weeks later.
Oy vey. Will I get this done by Christmas 2011?!?
I hate (yes, hate! hate!) cross stitching, but the patterns by Julie Jackson are to die for! Check them out here. One of the reasons I'm not fond of cross stitch, is because I lack the patience for tedious projects. Being able to complete a mini sampler in a matter of a couple of hours while I get to catch up on a couple of DVDs? Now, that's my cup of tea.
