I am currently working on one of this aztec queen out in the jungle, it's the most complicated I have ever worked on, can't wait to see how it turns out:)

You always do such beautiful work, Ans!

When your latest piece is completed, I hope you'll post a picture.

I'm glad to see that there are other cross stitchers out there! I listen to recordings while I stitch. I'm working on my second Paula Vaughan book. I got a first place ribbon this past summer for one of my stitches! It's a lot of work, but so worth it!

They are gorgeous! Unfortunately my hands won't hold a needle anymore. I have a garden scene that's been on hold for years.

I'd be happy to send it to someone who will actually finish it. lol

elaineandsparky - those are amazing! I really like the one with the tiger splashing through the water - beautiful.

does anyone else ever wonder how much their pictures would sell for?

Sometimes... But I have realised that you would never get enough money if you consider how many hours you use on it, so I never take it any farther...

I wanted to add one of my own pictures, how do we do that?

I don't cross-stitch, I can't imagine myself counting all those blocks and keeping them straight! I keep thinking I need to get into it though. My grandfather cross-stitched each grandchild an absolutely beautiful Christmas stocking, and its something I really cherish. I dont plan on having children of my own, but I would like ot do something similar for future nieces and nephews.

I do embroider though. I'm currently working on a Terry Pratchett hanging of the Hogfather and DEATH as the Hogfather. Something to keep us all sane during the holidays

. I'm also working on embroidering a muppets quilt.
