A little bit of stitching

Over the last few years I have been doing lots of craft stuff, patchwork, card-making and most recently bag-making. However, I went on a little visit to Hobbycraft this week to look at their sale and on a whim I decided that I needed to do some craft work that was a bit more portable, so I could take it to Leeds with me at the weekends. So, I decided to start some cross-stitch, something that I haven't done since I was in my teens. I bought a kit and now I am happily, and rather obsessively sitting on my sofa in the evenings and counting, counting, counting. I had forgotten how time-consuming it was but I am really enjoying myself. The only other thing about doing cross-stitch, is that the cat has a complete fascination with it. She seems to spend hours just watching me pulling the threads through, occasionally batting a paw at the fabric or the needle. She is so cute, and I have to admit, in my opinion there is nothing more relaxing, therapeutic and lovely than sitting on the sofa with a cat and sewing. Happy days.
