| Oh, how lovely. I used to cross-stitch a lot before the girls came along. Not so much now. Is there no end to your talents, Savannah? | |

| Yep, every single stitch is cross-stitched. Since you've done the Gold Collection, you know there are some challenging stitches in there too. Yikes. It's pretty overwhelming when you look at the pattern in full too---I didn't realize when I bought it that it will be an 11 x 14 size too! I don't even know where this is going yet----I just knew I liked the picture! Do you use the magnetic board and magnifiying 'wand' when you cross stitch? I find that helps a TON. You know, it's really not the stitching that's difficult, it's making sure you don't lose your SPOT when you go between the stitchery and the pattern! - Savannah wrote:

Gee, I wonder if this board will still be around 20 years from now? “Not all of us can do great things. But we can do small things with great love.”

| That's really beautiful, Savannah. I don't know where you find the time and energy for everything you do. Amy, I tried counted cross-stitch and never finished it. I even had one of those magnetic boards and the lighted magnifier and still never got it done. Those symbols were so tiny and close together . I gave it to my sister-in-law to finish and told her she could keep it. Spring is finally here, the lovely pink blooms on the "spray" tree outside my window are gone leaving a beautiful willow. | |

- I made it about a quarter of the way through the pattern before I finally caved and started lightly penciling off what I'd stitched each night. Sure made things easier after that!
That's a good idea---I've never thought of that! I'm thinking maybe taking the time to go through and color code with colored pencil throughout would be a good idea too, and would be easier to find the spot too. And I have to say, it concerns me that it took you 5 years to do your gold collection piece. That cinches it for me that it's going to take me double that time! - Alice wrote:

Actually Alice, my mom was always a major cross-stitcher (and seamstress)....she did all 7 grandkids' stockings, and numerous other projects. But she has a denegenerative eye disease and it's been very sad that she's had to give this up. It IS stressful on the eyes, that's for sure. One thing I would like to buy is one of those floor lamps that mimics daylight---they say that's much better for you. - Lori wrote:

Thanks Lori. I think Savannah has inspired me to pick mine back up! | |

Amy, that sounds like my mother-in-law. She's made her kids and grandkids things like that. - Amy wrote:

How awful to have to give up doing something she enjoyed so much. Spring is finally here, the lovely pink blooms on the "spray" tree outside my window are gone leaving a beautiful willow. | |
