I have decided to hand make or at least give gifts on time all year. May seem like an average resolution but I believe that all my gifts last year were given quite late after the date (a few weeks at least).
I have major gift anxiety. I stress that the gift will be to obscure or odd so either avoid giving it or stress so long about finding that elusive perfect gift that I end up giving it a few weeks late.
I used to think I had fantastic time management skills, no idea where they went or even if I had them at all. I also seem to overestimate my abilities. I started this cross-stitch for a friends birthday a few days before I was to give it mainly because I thought it would be so easy as it is kind of small. It ended up taking me nearly 30 hours to complete. Briefly thought about keeping it myself but another of my habits is blurting that I have the gift or giving way easy hints of what it is.
I found the pattern here. It is the first cross-stitch I have done from a pattern and not in a pack thingo.
Prit-tay happy with the results!.

Nice work! I've never done cross stitch, but that is so perfect, I think one day I'll have to try!
ReplyDeleteThat's great! I was wondering what type of cross stitch it would be given the receiver was a male. He's a fan of Star Wars I take it? Very cool. Good job on the handmade gifts - its a nice touch. I've been lucky enough to receive quite a few so time to share the love!
