My favorite hobby is Cross Stitching. Over the years I have given away and sold many pieces that I have stitched and I so regret not taking pictures of them before letting them go. I've made tooth fairy pillows, jar lid covers, bookmarks and small and large pictures.
You can see a few pieces that I have stitched on my Instagram as well as updates of the current one I'm working on.
A bit about my Cross Stitch habits...
It's the Spring pattern from the Seasonal Bouquets booklet by Marjolein Bastin (which I purchased from Hobby Lobby years ago for less than a buck! Woo Hoo!)
Below are a few pictures of past projects. I still need to iron them, but I won't do that until I'm ready to frame them. I'm still sad about not taking pictures of all of them.

A bit about my Cross Stitch habits...
- My favorite cloth to work with is Aida.
- My favorite thread is DMC.
- I use the stabbing technique because the sewing and parking method... I would have a mess.
- I don't use Cross Stitch needles. I use regular sewing needles because I have a hard time running my finishing thread through on the back with cross stitch needles.
- I use hoops on larger projects but would love to have a q-snap frame.
- I purchased a huge lot of DMC thread years ago on eBay and I still have tons left. Plus, I've only had to purchase a few replacements.
