Craft Corner: Cross stitch

I had planned a sewing project this month, though when I set that goal, I was thinking more along the lines of a project with the machine.  However, this lovely little surprise gift from my mum arrived in the post and I couldn't wait to get started.  

It's a Celtic jewel and it took me one evening to complete!  I loved the colours and it was the first cross stitch project where I actually enjoyed the finishing touches of long stitch more than the cross stitch.

I also remembered how sewing keeps my hands busy and away from the snacks!  I need to do more of this!  The machine will definitely be coming back out soon.
