tanaiseI started a new cross stitch sunday. It's a cute little tudor house with bright flowers and a thatched roof and stuff like that (like this one, but simpler). And even though I'm being careful not to over stress my hand (including using a hoop and not doing it for more than a couple of hours an evening), I got a good bit done over two days:
Day one (technically the brown bits on the left of the picture were day two work--I forgot to take a picture before I started)
Day two (only worked for an hour or two, since I'm babying my hand)
And right about the time I took the day two picture, before I started day three's work (started with the roof, even though I still haven't figured out a couple of the colors) I looked at the pattern, and at the stuff I've started--I mean really *looked at*. I started it with the fabric running the wrong way--portrait, which is how my things usually run, not Landscape, which is how this one should run. Cue repeated swearing. So my finished product will be a little different looking than the picture. Full screen, not widescreen. Ah, well, this is why I give them away--so I don't remember every single incorrect stitch every time I look at it.
