Cross-stitch isn't really a skill that comes naturally to me. First of all it often seems to require math, which is certainly not a strong point of mine. Secondly, it's full of strong points – needle points, that is. Ouch!
Nevertheless, it really is a nice thing to do every now and then. I find just chugging away with my needle and thread really soothing. Here's a little something I stitched for my wonderful mama to give her as a thank you on my wedding day. She was my right hand woman throughout the whole process; I really could not have done it without her keen eye and awesome advice. We have a bit of a personal joke about nuts (swanky nuts, even!) so I stitched this one especially for her. Acorns were also a decorational element on the table at the wedding so it tied in rather nicely! Mum was a massive support along the way and it was so nice being able to spend so much time with her. Love you mama.
It was such a wonderful suprise and a very special gift, I'll treasure it always.... along with the beautifully moving 'Shut Your Piehole' embroidery that you'd made for me. Who loves ya baby? xx
ReplyDeleteYes, this embroidery is a bit less vulgar than the last one I gave you... but that could easily be changed by adjusting the acorn to different kinds of nuts, haha!
