At first I thought that was an old Chinese photo I’ve seen before. But then I remembered Mao and company didn’t believe in prayers.

I wish I could work with threads & tiny things, alas my arthritis keeps me to bigger things, :) .

(18) Susan Adcox says:

I admire those with the patience to spend so much time creating something. In our society it’s much easier to go buy something, but something purchased could never approach the meaningfulness of something handmade.

Lisa you are right I lead much too full of a life to attempt to do cross stitch though it is tempting I don’t know how I’d find time. Maybe one day though I’ll have to give it a try, because it’s very compelling to create something of beauty.

Beautiful! Requires a lot of patience to finish it.

I learned cross-stitching from my mom when I was little. She made many cross-stitches and gave them as gifts to friends/family. I, on the other hand, never finished anything, even for one small piece, lol.

(35) Dianne says:

Lovely cross-stitch. I did that for years until I began to have problems with carpel tunnel. Very nice.
