My grandmother taught me to cross stitch when I was a young girl. At least 15 years ago. And that is when my crafting ADD also kicked in apparently because this project was sadly abandoned.
An upclose picture of the stitching. I was pretty good if I do say so myself!
I love everything about this lunch box. I had to have been my brothers because I was a total Ninja Turtle fan. I must have stolen it from him to store my cross stitching in it ;o) and he would have been so embarassed if his friends would have found what was inside!
As you can see this project was only about 3/4s done before I abandoned it . My teenage life must have gotten in the way and I became 'too cool' for cross stitching, who knows really. Never fear, I will not be throwing this epically old WIP away though! I actually have hopes that my daughter will want me to teach her one day and she will finish what I started oh so long ago :) A girl can dream right?
Linking up to Freshly Pieced for WIP Wednesday!

ReplyDeleteHope your daughter finds interest in cross stitching:)
Thank you! I really hope so too!
DeleteAnd very possible too! I started out with cross-stitching before learning to quilt. Now I find cross-stitching takes SO LONG! I can't imagine when I had such patience. Adorable design!
