Case in point...
In my list of Creative Endeavors, I chose to not list "Cross stitch" but then reconsidered. My first (and last) cross-stitch project really needed to be documented somewhere.
'Teddy Bear Parade' (see above) was started in 1980. It was a gift for my sweet nephew, Robert.
By the time his adorable little brother, Thomas came along in 1983 it was not quite finished so I thought it would make for a cute gift for both of them to hang in their room.
My final cross-stitch was made on this project, a mere nineteen years later in 1999. The thing is...I have no excuse. A lot of it was pre-stamped and colored.
At this point, I knew there was no way that I could look into the eyes of either of my grown nephews with a straight face while presenting them with 'Teddy Bear Parade' - I'm thinking they preferred girls.
Maybe I'll get started on working towards getting it stretched and framed for when one of them has a child of their own. But, at the rate I roll...
