After looking at some of the cross stitch kits, I started to get quite interested. Obviously I did not show this though, I eventually choose a tigger design, but I could not wait until I got home so opened it as soon as we were back in the car, even though I was told not to but people who Know me, know that I am like a bull in a china shop, and on doing this scattered everything over the back seats of the car, (oops). Anyway on getting the I told you so look, packed it back up and waited until I was back home.

The first thing I did was to read the instructions very carefully, and do what they say, I find that real hard to master, any way I thought here goes nothing.

I must admit and I must add that again this is one of the things I do not do well, how relaxing this was, I found myself totally committed and took pride in what little I had done, by the effect it was all ready having, It was well passed midnight when I thought that I should put it down until tomorrow , though I could have carried on all night if I did not have to go to work the next day. OK it took me about a week to do what others could have done in one evening, and yes there are a few stitches wrong, but hey, so what, I did it myself from start to finish, chuffed to bits or what.

That was five years ago now and I have done a lot more cross stitch projects and really enjoyed doing them I hope you do to.
