Cross Stitch Escape

I know your feeling i tell people that all the time it is my stress relieve. I am currently working an an american flag with the eagle for my cousin who was wonded in the war. I have been working on it for 2 years now and feel like ill be working on it forever also. But i know that come my neices 1st birthday i will be getting a picture from her mother so that i can start my cross stitch of her as well since i did one of my nephew.

I find it very meditative and can totally zone-out while stitching. I do a lot of translating of fine art and illustrations to counted cross stitch charts more than I actually stitch though.

Oh, I really like them. I want to get the picture of Arthur and Merlin talking. Reminded me of Harry Potter and Dumbledore..lol.

I remember when I was younger, that I wished there was someway I could draw with "x"s. I saw a picture once it was made by the artist drawing tiny "x"s to make a picture. The most I can do is stick figures. However with cross stitching, it never fails to surprise me what I'm "drawing" with my needle.
