I Might Be An Old Lady...

So I am only 23, but sometimes I'm convinced I am an old lady. Case in point: I spend most of my free time reading and cross stitching. Yep, you heard me right. I like to cross stitch. Just last week I finished a cross stitch that I started two and a half years ago...NO, I'm not THAT slow. There are months at a time that I go without cross stitching and then there are times that I get really into it.

This took 2.5yrs, but was super fun to do! (size 11"x14")

It felt amazing, wonderful, fabulous, awesome, great, super, fantastical, stupendous (I'm running out of adjectives) to finish the cross stitch. I had such a cross stitch high (is that actually a thing?) that I went out and bought more cross stitches for me to do. :)
 

This only took me three days to do. (size 3" x  5")

And this one was only two days...I'm getting better (size 3" x 5")

 Even after doing those to small ones, I still have the urge to cross stitch. Thus, I have another larger one that I will probably start next.

My next project...

I really love the colors of this one and the fact that it is cowboy boots is a great bonus 'cause I LOVE cowboy boots. I would have to say the most difficult part of picking out a new cross stitch if finding one that I really like. I go for the ones that have awesome colors and aren't "old ladyish". My solution to that problem used to be the fact that I cross stitched any and every dolphin cross stitch I could find. Here are a couple of those: 

I think this is a great life motto! :)

Sad to say, the last one took me like 4.5-5yrs, but in my defense I got in freshman year of college so I had other things that were a priority over it. And it spent much of it time stuffed away in a box or drawer.

Okay, enough about my old lady habits and cross stitches. Until next time my faithful followers...


"That's All Folks!"
