I used to cross-stitch and do needlepoint when I was younger (like 8-12). I did a cross stitch bib for my cousin when she was born. I also did a few random projects that my mom has stored somewhere.
My mom also used to cross-stich, embroider, needlepoint, etc. She made a beautiful embroidered Christmas tree skirt with the Night Before Christmas on it. Santa's beard is done with individual French Knots! Its beautiful, but one year, we were going to water the tree and spilled water on it, and some of the red dye from the thread bled on it
We still use it though. She also made me a "baby's first christmas" cross-stich stocking. And she and my grandmother made me a Raggedy Ann and Andy christmas stocking that was Applique and embroidery.
Maybe one of these lives I'll get back into it. I tried to do scrapbooking but it was too expensive and I lost interest pretty easily. I would still like to finish the book I was doing of my college years.
