And this is the one that opened up the whole cross stitch world!! My daughter is very good a stitching and she did this one for me.

...BUT...she said that is the last one I'm going to do for you, you can do them yourself:o I protested long and hard but she wouldnt budge and I'm so glad she didn't because then I had to bite the bullet away from my safe samplers. It opened up the barriers as I thought I could never master it properly and I entered into the lovely world of cross stitching and I havnt stopped since:D this is the first one that I did after she down tools:rotfl:
