I love cross stitch QOTD...

Which project are you most proud of?

This would have to be the rose with a butterfly cross stitch I finished. It is the one I'm most proud of for a couple reasons... It frustrated me so many times I had to keep walking away from it, so the fact I finished it was an accomplishment in and of itself. It was also the first project I have done for myself. It was completed in 2000, and for the 10+ years of cross stitching prior to that, I had spent it making items for everyone else. Friends, family, anyone... I saw this pattern book and fell in love with this design. I have since completed 3 of the 4 flower designs in the book. The latest one is posted below... I will have to take a photo of the other one I finished, I see it on my wall, but nothing electronically I can post. Hmmm.

Eragon

Have you read this book?

I watched the movie and fell in love with it. I didn't even know there was a book out. As soon as I found out I was at the library. I just finished it a week ago and I will have to say it was much better than the movie. I dont normally read a book once I have seen the movie, my bad. This book captivated me, the pages couldnt turn fast enough, I cursed my slow reading skills. If you get the chance, take this novel out for a spin and dont let the thickness of the book scare you, its worth it, and it goes quickly.

2009

I finished this one near the end of 2009.

Blogs

Im not sure about this whole blog thing.. But seemed a good way to at least showcase/post my cross stitch projects as I finish them. I havent worked on alot lately, but I plan to get back at it soon. I suppose I will also post pictures of my boxers as they are too cute not to at least show now and then. I have been doing alot of reading, so to mention books I have read would probably be a good thing too. Right now Im in Theatre and Don Juan (general education courses, suppose to add culture to my life and required by my Major) phft. Im not sure I am liking them yet. I dont know much about plays, but I am going to be reading alot of them it seems. But alas this will take me from my entertainment reading material. (Although I am slipping in Eldest by Christopher Paolini). I guess we will see where this new blogging adventure takes me.. Maybe I just delete it after a year and I find no worth in it???
