Counted Cross Stitch projects. How I love starting from a completely blank canvas of linen and creating a picture stitch by stitch. It would be fair to say that I could give equal space in my should-have-a-shop to the amount of fine fabric, silk and pima threads, silk ribbons, beads and Swarovski crystals that I love for this work;.

This is in no way complete. I started embroidery work of all sorts very young, just as the knitting and crochet. I would embroider my ballet slipper bags, made many gifts, embellished my children’s clothes. Most was done in pre-blog days so photos are a challenge to find. I’ll add when I can though, so feel free to check back.
