Although my shop contains mainly jewellery, cards and buttons, I love cross stitch and tapestry.
I find it a lot easier to just get my work bag out and start doing a little bit of the design, whilst sitting on the sofa watching TV.
So my polymer clay work tends to get neglected as I find it a hassle getting the stuff out. I prefer the end result of my clay work and the fact it probably sells better, but as a personal preference I find my cross stitch more relaxing.

My favourite tapestry kits are made by Elizabeth Bradley. I discovered them whilist on holiday in North Wales about 18 years ago. I have done a great number of them and several I have had framed and made into cushions.
These are 2 are amongst my favourites.
My last project was this picture of these cute cats
and this will be my next.

I love the Elizabeth Bradley designs. Very striking
Wow, you are talented! I like the pansy one!
I used to do a lot of crossstitch, many years ago. I still have some cute projects (eyeglasses holders) that I never even started. Interested?
Great blog. I have enjoyed getting to know a bit about you.
I to find the needlework...so to speak...relaxing. People often comment about the tiny beadwork I do when making a jewelry piece. Not many are interested in trying to see, never mind the hours & hours. For me it is relaxing and that is therapy!

Pretty! I like the flower one.
Beautiful work! I agree with the rest, the pansies are very pretty.
