Father's Day Cross Stitch-2005

[Shellie]

I made this three years ago-its the last time I cross stitched. lol I go back and forth from cross to crochet but this last stint at crochet has been three years! Anyway, I wanted to share this with you. I made it for my Stepdad who has been better to me than the original one ever could. Pretty cool considering he didn't meet me until I was 22 years old. And if you are wondering? Yes, he cried. lol

At the bottom of this are wooden nautical shapes with the kids (he has two boys-I got brothers from this marriage! :cheer) and grandkids names and birthdates on them. No excuses for THIS guy to forget birthdays! :lol

Wow that is beautiful! I used to do cross stitch all the time...haven't done it in awhile now. This makes me want to do some again!

Awesome, I too should bring out some of my stitching. What happened was a friend made me trade out my college lamp for a nice one in my living room and its not as bright. I bought one of those daylight lamps to try. I am working on a couple large ones. I have never finished anything close to that size!

What a wonderful gift. I also haven't stitched for several years except for the birth announcement I did this spring for my GGS. I'm really getting the itch to do something stitchy, but I can't make up my mind (what I have left of it) what to do so I have been reading for the last 2 months and not creating a thing. I hope this passes soon.
