Off and on I have been working on a "Kiss the cook" piece. It is small (3" x 3") but for some reason it seemed as though I have been stitching on it forever. It ended up to be a cute little piece. Now I have to decided what to do with it. I thought about making it into a potholder or maybe a little knob hanger. The center of each flower has an iridescent black Mill End bead stitched into it. Unfortunately you can't see them in the photo. The pattern is from a book I found on Amazon called "A woman's world in Cross Stitch" by Joan Elliott. It has some of the most adorable cross stitch patterns. What do you think about this piece?

@HazySue My grandmother used to do the same thing, and she had a story behind every ornament she made. It was so watching her pick an ornament from the tree and telling the story of how it came to be!

How cute, why not make a larger piece? Of course I don't really know how long it takes to do this kind of stitchery, I haven't the patience for it.

Well, now that the ornament is done will you make a larger one to hang in your kitchen @HazySue ?

My daughter wanted an ornament. It needed to be small so it could hang on the Christmas tree.

It is a nice job. I know how to do cross but I haven't done it for years.

I love it! Wish I had the patience to do cross stitch. Too tedious for me.

I am so glad I am able to do it. It is the type of craft you can do sitting. On days when I can't get around I am so thankful that I taught myself.

It's so cute! I think it will be a good Potholder

It's the perfect size for a potholder. I think it would look good on a plain black potholder.

I love it. I'd like to see it on an apron. I would hate for it to get messed up as a pot holder (food spills, etc.)

It would make a terrific apron addition. I would have to think about doing this.

When I first started stitching I didn't have much patience but as I learned to love it the patience came.
