Cross-stitching and Embroidery

My Favorite Things #20/365

During my sophomore year in high school, I took a needle arts class. Among other things, I learned how to do cross-stitching and embroidery. I really like doing it when I have the time; it is very relaxing.

I have followed patterns. But I am going to do one soon, hopefully, that I will do with my own ideas.

I love them! I wish I could do them, I am sure that I could but I never was taught...where have you gotten your patterns from?

The patterns for the embroidery I got from my class. You stencil it on and embroider on the colors as the pattern directs. The patterns for the cross-stitching came from kits that you can buy at Walmart or whatever.

They look great! I would love to do cross-stitching and embroidery. Maybe once my kids are older and I have more time for stuff I enjoy!

I didn't take any good pictures, but I'll tell you that I did see Charles I Dismounted by Van Dyck. That was pretty exciting. I love to see paintings that I recognize. After we chilled at the Louvre for a while, we headed out (well, we lost Chelsea and found Richard) to the Ricks' place. We were a little early so we went to see the Eiffel Tower. We saw it all lit up. It was pretty awesome. Then off to the Ricks'. We played a charade-type game for FHE and it was a lot of fun. I really enjoyed myself.

My sister Rachel had her baby boy Benjamin earlier this morning. This is the 19th time I've been an aunt. And I still absolutely adore it. I get just as excited with each birth. He's a new life. He's a miracle. I love children. With Benjamin and Abi, his oldest sister. I love her face in this one! Isn't he just adorable? Look at that hair! Oh I love him :)
