I have been in a rut for over a year dealing with issues. But I now have free time again and I need a
project. Since we rescued a dog, I
wanted to make her a Christmas stocking to hang on the mantle. So my next project is going to be needlepointing
a picture of our new dog, Kona. I have
finished projects in the past, a Santa and a Rooster and they took some time
because I would put them down from boredom.
So I'm sure it will take some time but my goal is to finish Kona's
stocking for Christmas.
My history was not needlepointing as a pastime until I got a
stroke and I needed something to do instead of sitting idle all the time. My husband and I found a stand called 'The
Original E-Z Stitch Needlework Frames' because of my limited ability with one
hand. It holds the work upright and it
doesn't slide around. It's comfortable
to sit and watch TV.
I have a needlepoint kit from years ago but I really want a
picture of Kona. Suzanne found a website
where you can take a picture and turn it into a needlepoint cross stitch
pattern. (Website: http://www.myphotostitch.com/) I am searching for a perfect photo to
use. Then I will purchase colors of
thread from DMC Embroidery Floss
Color Cards.
I hope it will be exactly what I needed to pass the time and
decompress.
