Many, many years ago, I did alot of counted cross-stitching... completed several beautiful pieces (which are now displayed throughout my home)...
... even way back then (20+ years ago..eek! am I really that old??) I was into flowers...
Although I completed a few, I left many more "undone." Does that happen to you? I blamed it on the eyes; but really, I just got bored with it.
Yesterday, as I was sorting cleaning out one of my Sunshine Room drawers, I dug out found several of my unfinished projects.
At the time, I was really into the samplers...
...hmm... maybe I still am "into" the samplers. They do look kinda nice.
"Forget Me Not" has been a favorite for many reasons... this was the name I gave my little shoppe of linens back in the mid-90's.
...more flowers... this one was a finished project, which still remains unframed (?)
SO... after looking at all these lovelies (and wishing I had finished more of them), it seems like a waste to let them just sit in a drawer.
I'm thinking I might make use of the portions that are complete... maybe a little editing here and there. Or a "quilt" using the various finished components...
any ideas?
p.s. although I took a long vacation from cross-stitching, my hands were not idle. My newest needlework passion is punch embroidery! You don't have to COUNT and its really, really ADDICTIVE!
Maybe when I finish this one I will have my "sense of accomplishment" back and not feel like a "Needlework Dropout!"
