I decided that I needed something new when it came to Spring decor. I got a wood sign and painted it. I have learned over the years it helps to paint the sign with white paint first, it acts like a primer. Then I chose some "Spring" like colors to complete it.
This is another project that was in the bag of projects that my aunts gave me.
This cross stitch project was my first attempt that included a diagram.
I started in the middle because that is supposedly how it works. They even mark the center for you, which I wouldn't have know about if not for my mom.
My mom also gave me this neat magnetic board to help keep track of where I was on the diagram.
The project is only 5x7. I put it in a dollar store wood frame. Now it just needs to find a home.
Good afternoon ladies,
I really am feeling the pandemic burnout lately so I’m trying to find some joy. One thing that brings me joy is giving to others so I found some baby quilts in my stash to send to Kids First for their new mom program. What have you been up to? Her
So I received this package of cross stitch gift tags when I was down and out this summer. I have never cross stitched and it ended up that this tags had no diagram to follow. So not only was it a first attempt, I had to use the small picture to graph out the designs.
This picture is about 5" × 7". Plus not so easy to count the squares.
They probably won't be put on any gifts. Maybe I will just hang them on my tree.
I can now add cross stitch to something I can do.
