Back to my sampler...It is stitched in linen, which means you skip a 'hole' and stitch into the next. Good thing I made it when I was 20 something, I need a magnifying glass and Ott-Lite now. Speaking of which, I do have an Ott-Lite, True Color, full spectrum , floor lamp that I love. I just need the one with the pattern clip and magnifying glass now. I haven't cross stitched in forever!!! I do have a few needle point projects going now.
The paper-craft project that I just completed is not photographing well. I made a little book using a Cosmo Cricket packet of paper, called Earth Love. I'll tell all about it when I can get some good pics.
Thanks for visiting me and I do apologize for not commenting as much as I normally would. Just know that I have been looking and admiring everything. I have also been visiting the parties. Please let me know that you haven't forgotten about my little blog and leave me a little love!!
Cheers!
Lori

I have been wondering where you've been! You have been missed!
I love counted cross stitch. That project reminds me of some that I used to do when I first learned how to cross stitch... brings back memories!

BEAUTIFUL sampler! I used to do that but like Olga my eyes don't allow such things anymore )0=
I have not forgotten you :) This is so pretty and so special. It makes me wan to start cross stitching again.
Omg you crack me up, lol!! I'm often in need an that ott-light, too - hee hee! LOVE THIS!! You truly are talented in many ways - so sweet! I haven't done this in years, either :)
It's so beautiful, Lori!! I've only done a little cross stitching, so I can appreciate the work you've put into this. ☺
It's so very pretty Lori. It's been about as long for me, about 20 years since I cross stitched, i make so many pieces, some I didn't even put in a frame. Miss your lovely comments. Thank you for sharing you creativeness at Sunday's Best
That is really pretty, Lori. I did some cross stitch about 8 years ago ;) Only got about 1/5th the way done. You've really got to concentrate, at least I sure did. I have an Ott light, just a little one though. I'll be back to see your newest project when you get it photographed!
Very pretty. Isn't it amazing how quickly time goes by? Thanks SO much for sharing your cross stitch at the Kiss & Tell party over at I Gotta Create!

This is beautiful, Lori...I used to do a lot of cross stitch but not in the last few years. I need to get it out again and use it on my cards...thanks for the inspiration!!!
this is awesome..you should definitely get into it again! I am right with you...any detail work is done under an Ott light...wonder what we did before them?!
Your cross stitch is loveley! I haven't cross stitched in a long time... My mom and I used to all the time!
Beautiful Lori!! I love cross-stitch. I have done a lot of it but not as much lately. So much fun but just not enough time for it all.
hugs,
Chris
