I began to cross-stitch in 1993, and learned from the "master"; my mom, who has done incredible needlepoint, cross-stitch, embroidery, sewing, quilting, and more over the years. I try to make time nearly every day to work on my latest cross-stitch project which is a great way to relax, be productive and creative all at once. 
 

My Easter cross-stitch: I finished it on Good Friday. It was mostly done during my second bout of pneumonia this winter; I had to do something while I recuperated on the couch!	Roses I did a few years back and gave tomy Mom and Dad
(Click to see the entire piece) I did this last fall/winter when I had my first bout of pneumonia. It's acutally two pieces - the "inside" of  the house was done on a seperate piece of aida.	(Click to see the entire piece) I did this Santa a few years ago; it was one of my first projects. He comes out every Christmas...
Something for our kitchen
This was the first cross-stitch I ever did, in 1993.  It was a Christmas gift to Hubert, as he really likes wolves.	Thanksgiving piece that is not yet finished. This will actually be a table runner, with this pattern on each end. For this year though, I only completed one side...so it's just a picture so far!
A Halloween "Ghost Cats" picture I made for Heather	My newest project for the kitchen
My Wile E. Coyote sweatshirt I did a few years ago it still looks great!
It took awhile to do, but I finally finished!
