My cross stitching blog. I have been cross stitching on and off since 1969. In 1969 I did a stamped cross stitch d'oyley under the supervision of my Grandma. Her home was number 78. I spent many pleasant hours at that house as I often went there for holidays as a child. Now I prefer counted cross stitch . Some other crafts keep me busy too

Knit 1 Purl 1
I have put down my tapestry needle and taken up the knitting needles. A rainbow shawl is finished but it is still waiting for ends to be sewn in. I thought it may not be big enough, but it does fit quite snuggly over the shoulders.

Pretty Fabric
I bought this in the country town of Cooma.NSW. to make one of my cross stitch pieces into a small pillow. I do not usually get excited about fabric but this looks so pretty and feels good too
