getting crafty


I am not crafty.  I like to leave the craftiness to the professionals.  Two years ago, however, I bought this adorable puppy love cross stitch kit from ChezSucreChez on Etsy...and finally started working on it last week.  With a brief interruption to purchase more floss when I ran out, I managed to complete them over a period of about three days.

It was harder than I thought it would be to put the tiny Xs into their proper places.  Guess which one I did first?  I did enjoy the project, and I wish I had another kit on hand to work on.  However, my next thing to try is...crochet!  I mentioned to my mom back in November that I wanted to try and learn crochet, and she sent me yarn, needles, and a book about it for Christmas.  Now I suppose I have no excuse not to learn.

Would I like to learn how to crochet something like this?

Well, yes, but...I'm realistic.  I think my goal will be some throw pillows for the sofa!
