It's now time to update you all on the progress with my cross-stiching. (Yes, I am a 73-year-old fragile looking lady trapped in the body of an almost 42-year-old slightly craft and cake obsessed person.)
The Cross-Stitch Bitch has now been given the last stitch, so I might look into getting her framed. However, I doubt very much that the husband will be happy for me to hang it up in our living room glowing eternally under a projector light. We'll see.
This is what she ended up looking like (I'll get a better picture once she's moved into her frame):
I think that once we have a bigger abode and I get my own room (one can dream), I can turn it into my own personal tasteful haven with loads of flowers and plants, a Lindt chocolatier (instead of a butler: I don't wear top-hats or white gloves or receive handwritten letters which need to be brought to me on a silver plate), a comfortable chair, where I can do my knitting, and an adjustable table (and ditto chair) which is big enough to hold both cross-stitching AS WELL AS jigsaw puzzle projects. I think I might also like a bed in there as I'll probably get tired from all the crafting. And baking which I'll be doing in the French farmhouse style kitchen which belongs to this dream-house. There will still be time and room for Stefan and Paul. ALWAYS!
Okay, this is what I'll be working on post-bitch:
I have actually already started on the 'My Day Off' design (more about that on my Instagram-account, @stefansmor) and am thoroughly enjoying every stitch. It's comparable to my mental progress: Small steps to begin with, then the bigger picture will emerge.
