Cross Stitch Paperweight
It's Sunday so time for another of my non-cardmaking posts. I enjoy cross stitch and over the years have made many pictures, mainly to give as presents. Nowadays I prefer smaller projects which I can finish quickly. This cross stitch picture has been placed into the base of a paperweight - there's also a small piece of green felt on the bottom which both finishes the project and also ensures that it doesn't scratch furniture.
I have struggled with the photo as the glass shines which has pulled some of the colour out of the flowers - they're far more vivid than the photo shows.

Oh Kath that is beautiful! I used to do masses of cross stitch and embroidery but nowadays with my varifocals I really struggle to thread a needle or find the holes in the Aida, which takes all of the pleasure out of it for me.
This is such a great way of using cross stitch Kath and love the colours of this pretty piece. x
This is beautiful, Kath! I've tried cross stitch a few times but just can't make anything that looks even half right so I'm in awe of this, Jo x
Hi Kath, That is really lovely.
Hope you have had a nice weekend. Sue
This is very pretty x
How fab to see someone else doing cross stitch. This is a great project. I have never thought of a paperweight. Would love to know where you get them to put the cross stitch in.
Lovely creation and such pretty cross stitch xx
This is beautiful Kath, a wonderful gift.

Hi Kath
I have crossed a few stitches in my time too .. .. .. I have one big picture of a Victorian dolls house that is still nowhere near finished. I wonder if it ever will be?!?!? I hope so.
Your paperweight is gorgeous. Love the beautiful colours you worked with.
Love Jules xx
