Cross Stitching Again
I’ve started a new cross stitch project. It’s weird that the last time I did some cross stitching was around Christmas time too, but that was back in 2006. I handmade Christmas tree decorations and a stocking for Richard’s family then. These were the pretty cross stitched ones:

Anyway, back to my new project. Cath gave me an old copy of Cross Stitcher magazine (May 2008) that she no longer wanted. I like gifts like these. There are so many pretty, non-nanna-ish patterns in that one magazine.
Plus, it came with a free complete cross stitch kit. Woohoo! Don’t you just love those red tulips!
I got cracking on Saturday when it was too hot to move off the sofa. This is how much I’ve done over the weekend.
My poor RSI-stricken elbow is thanking me for taking a break from knitting and crocheting. When my elbow is happy, I am happy! 
Hmm… I wonder where I will this hang this up when I’m done…

I haven’t cross stitched anything for about 8 years that was when my last child was born and I took some in while I was in hospital. It seems to be the only time I cross stitch but as I’m not having anymore babies I might have to re think that!

I recently bought supplies for cross stitching, too. I hope mine will look at least half as nice as yours.

Glad you are making use of the tulips cross stitch. I love those ornaments too. I think cross stitch really lends itself to christmas patterns somehow.
