Cross Stitch: 60th Birthday Card

A little later than intended, thanks to life getting in the way, but here at last are the pics of the 60th birthday card I made for my friend. Unfortunately, it went a bit wonky when I stuck it to the card because it's quite large. I used one strand of thread on 18 count fabric, so the stitched piece is a little over 6 inches tall by about 3 1/3 wide.

There should be more to the border, another shade filling in most of the gaps, but I liked the simpler version so I left it at that.





Thankfully, the card was much appreciated, a good thing sing it took me over a month
to stitch because it was hard to see what I was doing under artificial light.

I should really get into sewing again. I just find doing creative stuff alittle daunting.:(

My brother made a pencil case once.

Anyway, all the best with it.:)

Yeah. I tried to do an aptitude test online. I just have to accept my limitations and focus on my priorities. I'm trying to catch up on lost opportunities from the past.*sigh*

Yes, sometimes things don't go as planned or people don't turn out to be who you thought they were. I'm going to use those life experiences to my advantage so that I don't make the same mistakes again.:)
