I really like that, Lori. I've got a tote bag, which I won in a competition, but I haven't done anything with it yet. You've inspired me.

Thanks for all your compliments and support. Most of my friends don't understand my interest in cross stitch. They are kind, but they just don't "get it".

Thanks again.

Lori

Funny people!! Fancy not understanding a creative art as Wonderful as cross stitch!!

I love the way we all do the same stitch and yet in our individual way they all look different!

What a lovely design and an equally lovely finish! How can anybody not 'get' a hobby that produces anything this absolutely-beautiful-must-make-myself-one-of-these?

On that is lovely. The picture is lovely to start but the bag is just so nice! You do a lovely job with your finishings.
