Getting In The Mood To Cross Stitch

I have been feeling the urge to do a cross stitch piece lately. I have been busy designing little patterns for others and it has put me in the mood to do a bit of stitching myself.

I happen to have a pattern handy of an English cottage on a hill with a beautiful garden and stream running along side of it. I love this type of piece. I think I will drag it out and check to see if I have all the colors I need and maybe get started on it.

It is the perfect relaxation for me. Having a hobby such as stitching, painting, doing crossword puzzles and other fun things is a must for people that are busy with a full life. We all need a hobby to help us relax and de-stress. It's good for the blood pressure and good for the mind.
