RE: How to Cross-Stitch | The Oldest Form of Hand Embroidery | Part 1
@countrygirl....your post was the dearest I have received since joining Steemit. This is the true reason I joined! I love connecting with people and then finding out we have common interests! I will cherish your post. Thank you. I too think we could be friends!
But since you brought up the teacups...this is uncanny! My mother in law used to send me a different special teacup for Christmas each year. She believe you should always give a new friend a teacup! Kind of like sharing a cup of tea! So I have several. All old and all different! So fun, I love that you all had your own teacup, and used them. That is so special.
I can just see the joy on your grandson's face when he has his blankie. So special and I am sure will be cherished. Do you have any picture of the baby blankets? I would love to see one. If not I understand.
My heirloom is being designed according to my daughters "specifications" lol. She has a special look and colors she wants to adhere to. So it won't be ornate by any means.
I love talking with you! All the best my friend. Look forward to our next connection! :)
I forgot to take a photo before I sent the blanket.....can you believe it? I was so excited to get it in the mail before Sunday. My son will take a photo for me and I'd love to share it with you. The other ones I made have a long story to them that is difficult to share here and to be honest, I don't know if I have photos. I was going to do a post about all of the afghans and purses and scarves and other things I have made over the years. Maybe one day. The photo quality won't be very good that's for sure.
The project you are working on will be beautiful in it's simplicity. I can almost picture where you are going with it. I can't wait to see what you and your daughter design and create.
I have some antique cross stitch I should share as well. They are framed and on my "word" wall in the hallway. (Word wall because all the photos have words - hehe)
For sure we'd be friends. If John and I ever come to Florida again, we'd love to connect. It probably won't happen, but it's nice to dream.
Talk soon.
