Creativity is soul food! I love to try new things too... This year I'm knitting a patchwork blanket and hope to have it finished by Christmas! You're right, cross-stitch is therapeutic and I think if more busy/stressed people had hobbies like this surely there would be less need for drugs to alliviate mood!??? Good post :-)
Thanks! I knit as well :) will have to share some of it here soon. I will look forward to seeing your blanket as well, sounds like a big project.
