Once upon a time...

I used to do counted cross stitch - way back before I had children, that is. My beautiful boxes of highly organized floss on bobbins has long since been dumped 45,342 times by the kids and lost... But - here is proof that I CAN do it. I made this in 1995 - I had broken my foot jumping out of bed at Purdue University and had to have surgery and all kinds of good stuff - long story. I was on crutches and couldn't do anything for 3mos... It was horrible! So, I needed a hobby, and decided to make this angel - yes, it was my VERY FIRST attempt at cross stitch. (Hey, I mentioned in an earlier post that I don't do easy projects first, I dive right in lol.)
