Autumn In The Wizarding World Cross Stich Kit

 

Back in May I found the courage and inspiration to order and try a new to me craft. I have never done cross stitch but found that when my beloved sister in law was here and she was plugging away at hers, there was an aura of calm and serene that exuded from her as she stitched away. One night in May we were messaging about crafting and I sent her the amazon link to this cross stich and asked her if she though I could do it, she said it would be easy.

When it arrived I opened it, immediately felt intimidated by the entire other language it seemed to be written in and panicked. I messaged my sister in law and admitted defeat for the night, put it away and thought I will tackle it when school ends. I packed it to take to Nanaimo with me where I was going to have time to decompress and give it a go. Then when I was packing the car, I left the bag with it and my tea items in the living room of my house and drove to the ferry... I only realized the next morning.

A few days ago, sidelined with a chronic injury I found the courage to do something that I could seated and it was so frustrating and exciting at the same time. I sat in bed and tried to thread the needle with the three strands of floss for what felt like ages, I managed to get about ten stitches in before "crying uncle", luckily I had an eye doctor appointment the next morning and was told it was finally time to get the reading glasses for help. So off to the dollar store I went and got a couple of pairs, It did the trick and I was able to see to thread and to make the stiches. I am almost done the hat as we speak, it may take me a very long time to complete but I do have visions of completing this and hanging it in my tea room one day. Fingers crossed that I have it in me to complete!
