How it all began.

I took up cross stitch after I got married. Unfortunate circumstances led to a lot of my in-laws being in hospital one after the other and a friend in the area introduced me to cross stitch to help pass the evenings when hospital visits were being made.

It is really quite amazing that I kept going as I chose a rather difficult picture to do as a first attempt - but it was worth all the blood, sweat and tears in the end. I even framed it myself.
