Connie Gee Designs - Cross Stitch and Needlework

What I am working on right now...

I am on the final stitches of my project so I thought it was high time I showed it to you.  This project looks so simple, but I have started it three times!  (I will explain my difficulty in an upcoming post.)

The original design from Xs and Ohs is in black and white, but I like to mix things up a bit and I chose to use DMC 939 and 18-count Fiddlers Aida from Charles Craft.  I am working hard to keep the dang border in the right place.  I have already "frogged" a few times, but I am ready to whip this thing out this afternoon!  (I hope) 

My fabric is super wrinkly as you can tell - I am bad to wad up fabric and that is why I tend to prefer q-snaps or stitching frames instead of hoops.  But, I am using my favorite Clover hoop for this baby!

And, in case you wondered, this project is for ME.  I give away a lot of my stitched stuff, but I chose this project to stitch for me and myself alone.

Hello, Looking for a birthday cross stitch book online and here sits your web page, to my surprise. It is often that I have spent my time stitching designs from about.com. This is the first to see you work. It is lovely.
