I started on a new cross-stitch today! I actually have not finished my last project, a "sampler" of sorts with my favorite poem, but I was only working on a border, and bored out of my mind. So I began this one which I bought at Irish Fest a few years ago. I'n it pretty?!
I know that cross-stitches aren't that useful, and I'm generally a rather utilitarian person. You can really only hang them as wall decoration. But it's an extended project with which to keep busy, especially when watching tv or movies. It's a good exercise in patience. More to the point, I like making cross-stitches for other people, and praying for them as I work. I did it with the cross-stitch for my niece, I'll do it for my nephew, and I'm doing it with this one, which, I just decided, has a very special purpose. But I can't really say what that is yet. :-)
