Unmatched Socks posted about a cute stitchery she did so I though I am going to try to make one I cross stitched when I was young so what the hey. I looked at
Wal-Mart for an
embroidery hoop no such luck. Well I though let me call my mom and just maybe she still has some of her old cross stitch stuff. So today I meet her for lunch here is what she brought me I am so excited!
I cross stitch book 
From 1987
And these remember these (yes I am showing my age who cares this is fun)!
I remember making these and turning them into bookmarks I still have one in my bible
Here is an unfinished piece I think I might just have to finish it!
So now Dixie and myself are going to sit by the fire and do a little stitching I love days like this!
Stay warm!

Hip hip hooray for crosstitching. I also did a lot of it in my day. It's so theraputic. That Santa is out of control gorgeous!
Also, I scrolled down to see the adorable Valentine touches you've added to your home...SO cute...especially your cute kitchen!
I love days like this to! I have a couple cross stitch projects I started this winter. I am also working a a blanket I am crocheting. Good winter projects for sure! Have fun.
I've have never learned how to cross stitch...not sure if I'm patient enough for it! Be sure to show off some of your handiwork when you get done!
I used to do that too when I was younger!
I have not cross stitched in forever, and I have unfinished projects to prove it! :)
I love to cross stitch! :) I need to get started on a sampler for my cousin soon.

Hi Carrie -
You should finish that cross stitch - it is really cute! That is a great project to work on while the weather is cold!
Have a great day!

I can barely sew a button but I admire those who can stitch!

My grandmother use to cross stitch. Come to think of it, I think she was the only who cross stitched in my family. I love the pictures you shared.
How fun! I like to cross stitch... but I have lots more UNfinished projects than finished ones.
I really like you V-day decore. Great job!
Can't wait to come back and see your finished projects.
Hope you are feeling better!
I use to cross stitch when I was younger. It was always a lot of fun.
Wow memories! I remember looking in the box and weirdly I can still remember the smell of the box. Good lucK!
