I am here thinking about the sewing classes that Janine and I did during our high school days. Mark you, they did not go on for a long period but believe it or not my twin and I managed to make two skirts. I would not say they were the best of skirts but they turned out okay! :) I wish we had taken a picture wearing them. However I remember they had a green background with some orange designs on them.
Neverthless I am not hopeless with a needle and thread. I have dabbled with cross-stitch and can crochet quite well.
In this post I am featuring my work done in cross-stitch. I can remember how relieved I was to get a card kit not too long after my twin's death. I could not stand a moment of idle time and I was not in the frame of mind to write. I passed the time working on this card and presented it to my mom on Mother's Day.
Below are pictures of the card and 3 other pieces that I have done over the years. Janine helped a little but I did most of the work. You will notice that they mainly feature birds and have therefore been big favourites for us! I really enjoyed doing them.

I cannot imagine having the patience to do needle work. Your projects look lovely.
I suck with needle and thread. My work is always messy LOL. Plus, they hurt my eyes. Great job. The birds are cute.:)
Nice work!
I've never cross stitched, but enjoy embroidery and taught myself basic crochet. Your cards would look nice in frames. TFS.
Great work!! I love the Mother's day card idea, butterflies are one of my favorites and what a special way to show mom how much you love her.
Hope you have a great day, my friend!
I like needle crafts, too. I am working on a big piece that commemorates Prince William and Kate Middleton's marriage. I hope I can get it finished in time for their first anniversary, LOL!
Hi Ricki,
The piece you are working on featuring the marriage of Prince William and Kate Middleton sounds great. You are going to feel so good when you have finished it. Take care and have a wonderful weekend.
