Wanna see my latest cross stitch project?

[Jermys]

I was making this for my bathroom:

but I had to put it aside because I spilled Diet Coke on it last night and had to wash it.  So while it was wet, I started this:

And here's how far I've gotten!

Make meeee something!!

[polka]

Wow, looks great! You always do such a good job.

[kirra]

I like it

[looseseal]

It looks like you're doing great, but I can't read that. I feel like I'm at the eye doctor and he's going to say, yep, you can only read the top line- new prescription for you!

[Jermys]

I'm seriously on a roll lately. I have a couple in the works for special people - squirrelymom, I haven't forgotten you!, and a couple for myself...but I want to do a few small, funny ones and I'll probably give them away

[Jermys]

looseseal, it says: Feminism has fought no wars.  It has killed no opponents, set up no concentration camps, starved no enemies and practiced no cruelties.  Its battles have been for the vote, education, working conditions, social welfare, rape crisis centers, refuges, and reforms in the laws.

pagas, I found it on Pinterest and it's just the jpg.  media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/originals/a7/3e/1a/a73e1a20a8c4635d4302f82e97afadf4.jpg

*I* have a Jermys original hanging in my front foyer.

It says "Bless this wretched hive of scum and villainy."

I would hang one your masterpieces in my downstairs bathroom. You need to open an etsy store.

Jinx!

This is a subversive cross stitch pattern, isn't it? I have a few patterns from years ago laying around somewhere. I really should go dig them out.

[snakeoiltanker]

Beautiful!

[winelady]

Love them all but "Fancy as fuck" is my fave!

Ooh, I don't know! I found it on Pinterest...I usually find something cool and use it for inspiration and make my own thing.

[Yankees21]

You are awesome and I'm jealous.

I remember way back when they were new. I'm tickled they've made their way to people's pins, but I can't say I'm surprised. They have a bunch of holiday themed ones too!

eta: not like you need patterns obviously, but I thought you'd get a kick out of them

[Jermys]

Oh holy crap, I love that stuff, elleblue! I have some of that stuff pinned!

[CheshireGrin]

I kind of want to learn to cross-stitch. But I am not crafty at all. Do you think this is something I can teach myself?

Yes! It's super easy. I am not crafty in the slightest and I can do it.

I made this one a few years ago for my brother when he first moved out of my parents house.

he still keeps it in his living room.

Absolutely.  I taught myself when I was eight.  Anyone can cross stitch - it's counting and making Xs

Jermys speaks the truth. And if you're unsure of where to start, Jenny Hart of Sublime Stitching has some great kits and quirky/unusual patterns. 

[shoeless]

The tree is so cool and I love the 'Fancy as Fuck' idea I wish I had the patience to cross stitch.

[tacocat]

Those look great! My grandma used to do a bunch and my mom started years ago, but didn't keep it up. I kind of want to learn how to do it.
