Cross-Stitch-ing


In my plan, I wrote that I would do cross-stitching as part of my creativity. Trust me, it has been a great pleasure doing it. I can do it anytime, anywhere except for certain places. Whenever I’m not doing anything at home, or when I follow my dad to the embassy, I would take all the cross-stitching stuff with me because it’s part of my life right now and I just love doing it.
Cross-stitching is something that I wouldn’t have thought of doing for my creativity. But thanks to my sister, she told me start during summer and continue doing it whenever I have free time, and basically during summer, whenever I’m at home, I would just sit in the living room with everybody watching television, and I would just stay quiet and do my cross-stitch. My siblings would just call me a loner, because I don’t talk to them. But here are the results that I got for being quiet. At least, I had a productive summer! 
To make these, as a beginner, we can buy a packet which can cost 90 to 120 roubles. And then, in the packet, they give you the thread, needle, and the instruction on how to it. Now I know what half-cross stitch is when I had no idea what does it mean before. And then, after doing it for some time, I saw my sister doing it just by looking at, for example, a butterfly picture on the internet, and then zoom in the picture and you can see that it shows the small boxes where you can also so cross-stitch. This is to make it cheaper. Which obviously I tried.
By doing this, I have developed new skills, I thought if I just look at the picture, it would be hard, but actually it's the same, and it's cheaper, I just need to buy the thread. 
And below, is my favourite one out of all my collections.

  1. Wow, these are really good, I wouldn't know where to start, something like this would look great on the IB CAS wall (just a thought). Keep up the good work. I was good to see you back at hockey again!
