From Tracie: Happiness is Finishing a Project

Happiness is Finishing a Project

On a Tuesday long ago, I talked about cross stitching and relaxation. Life got busy, and that project got set aside. Eventually it ended up on the bottom of my sewing bag, forgotten.  I came across it this week and finished it!


Happiness is finishing a project.
(and yes, it is still very relaxing!)

    Nice job!

    I used to love to cross stitch, but, I don't even know if I'd be able to see the holes anymore!

    Lovely! I used to cross stitch quite often, but haven't picked any up in a couple years. This makes me want to.

    THAT would not relax me in the least (too much finger pricking) but it is TRULY lovely to look at! Proud of you for persevering!
