I also cross stitch. Have not had much time since I have been quilting for Christmas. I do have a project started for a Christmas theme in cross stitch and I try to do a row every evening before sewing. I like other crafts but have not had much time for that either. My mom has tried to teach me crochet but so far, with no success. I'd rather quilt.

I crochet, both yarn and thread, love Swedish Weaving and Huck Embroidery, needlepoint, sew, and make earrings. I cannot sit without something to do so I usually have several projects going at the same time.

Your house is so lovely. I don't cross stitch, but my eldest daughter does. As a result, I have quite a few of her beautiful creations.
I DO sew though. Does that count as a craft? Right now I'm making a layette for my middle daughter's baby-on-the-way.
Do people still call them layettes? Whatever, they are so much fun to make. 8-)

When I was pregnant with my daughter I knitted booties, hats and sweaters, I belonged to craft of the month club. Sewed most of my closes. Did a lot of sewing over the years, clothes for daughter, husband (at the time), curtains, bedspreads, upholster furniture, crochet. Also embroidered Tried cross stitch, but could not get into it. (my daughter does cross stitching). Started quilting off and on about 10 years ago, and it is the thing I like best. My mom started quilting again when she retired. I never thought I would, but here I am..... :-D :-D
