lavastar, here are some photos of my cross-stitches.
This is the first cross-stitch I ever made:
I chose it because it was the most complicated one in the cross-stitch store, and I was 16 and wanting to prove I could do grown-up-level artwork.
It travelled all the way to Germany with me, and then all the way back...
This was in case Alex was a girl:
Being a boy, he got the other one instead. I don't have a photo of that one, because it's on his bedroom wall.
This was my graduation present to myself:
I finished it the week after I handed in my thesis.
And this is the one I'm in the middle of:
I am currently getting remarkably sick of muddy browns and greens. And hoping I can finish this one quickly, so that I can get onto the next one. That has purple.
