□ More about the Pollyanna Pickering Prickly Pot Cross Stitch Kit
It doesn’t look much like a hedgehog yet, but I’m hopeful it may begin to resemble part of one in the next few weeks. This is how far I’ve got with it during the last week (pic above). I thought it might take me a month or two to finish the piece, but since working on it I’ve realised that cross stitch is not a quick craft! Nor should it be, since the art of sewing lots of tiny crosses to make a masterpiece is both entirely enjoyable and fantastic for mindfulness.Ĭonsidering that I’m racking up around 50 stitches per evening at the moment, I should have it finished in a year or so if I’m lucky! This is my first real encounter with cross stitch (I dabbled in tapestry when I visited the Stitching, Sewing & Hobbycrafts Show back in July) and I have to say I’m loving it! Although I might have bitten off slightly more than I can chew here, given that I’m a cross stitch beginner. Usually birthday money disappears into our food shopping budget, but this year, I’ve made a stand and decided to put it towards something I really wanted! I’ve not been asked to review this product, this is a kit I treated myself to with some money I received for my birthday recently. I thought I’d share with you a little something I’m working on today – this beautiful Pollyanna Pickering Prickly Pot Cross Stitch Kit, featuring a very cute and richly coloured hedgehog! *Affiliate links are included in this post.
