#6 Make a Christmas Decoration

Cross stitch seems to be the project of choice this year, since this is my 3rd cross stitch. I DO need more things on my wall so it makes sense to me to do a cross stitch.

I made this from a pattern my mom bought me for Christmas (or was it my birthday? they are both right around the same time).


I love how it turned out!! It may be hard to tell in the picture but each of the pictures even has a little charm attached to it.

Since this cross stitch was a strange size I had trouble finding a frame for it. I checked Hobby Lobby, Joann Fabrics, and Michaels (online), but I wasn't interested in paying for custom framing. I found 5x12 frames being sold by a business through Amazon. (They had every size frame imaginable.) And there was a GOLD ONE! I had to buy it and it is perfect!

I can't wait to hang it up this Christmas!
