[Quiet Man Cometh]

I've never sworn so much during as Christmas season as this year. Maybe I should invest in more blunt cross stitch needles so I stab myself a little less, or stop leaving unfinished projects around with the needle still attached.

I stitched a sailboat with Christmas lights for one of my cousins' family and am making some hummingbird bookmarks for my sister who uses tons of bookmarks and is a bird person. ;). My niece was watching me stitch and asked if I was "pixel sewing." I thought that was a pretty good description of it.

I can basic knit and have the theory behind purl, sort of. Never really got the hang of cross-stitch past one string though I can probably figure it out. If I actually tried. My sister is the croquet fiend who makes afghans in her sleep. She recently made her kid a beanbag chair and has a selection of toques.
