My little works

Before I got into cross stitching when I was little my mother taught me how to make simple beginner pillows just so that I can get use to using a needle and thread. As the years went on I stopped making pillows and went to cross stitching. Here are a few that I have done.


So I was able to get some pictures of some of the cross stitches that I have done. This is my first one that I did when I was young. It was suppose to be a bookmark but my mom got a little to excited and framed the little bit that I finished. Its ok though still looks good.


This one I did when I was grounded for a month. :D I really love dolphins and since tv, friends, and phone was out of the question at the time, my mom went out and bought me this. I finished it pretty quickly becuase I have this nack for just sitting on the couch and just getting absorbed into what Im doing.


This one took me a while to do but was relieved when I finished it. I enjoyed doing this one but was a challenge for me because I sarted this a few years after I did the dolphin one. Took me a while to get back into the rhythm of thing. It is now at my moms house.

This last piece almost took me a year to do and YAY I have finished it. I dont have a picture yet of it but hopefully will be able to get one soon, and might I add it does look really good.

Hi Elizabeth,

Welcome to the neighbourhood!
Hope you enjoy blogging as much as
the rest of us do. You're going to meet some wonderful people here.

Your stitching projects are lovely, especially the one of the dolphins.
I really like that one.

So what do you like to read?? I figured you'd be a reader, knowing your Mom.

I think that's cool, you practice archery. How did you come to pick that up?? It must take quite a bit of strength and a really good eye to be any good at it, I would think.

Looking forward to your future posts.

Cheers!
