[FO] First project ever - Faerie Bookshelf Bookmark.
I got this kit in a book box (Illumicrate) so I am unsure how to tag the pattern I am sorry.
But it was my first time EVER cross stitching and I loved it so much. You can see from the back (yellows and greens first) I slowly but surely improved.
This is meant to be a bookmark but it's probably too thick for my liking and I am nervous about trimming.
I have invested in some hoops as I did this without tension and it kind of sucked but the shape/size of the Aida cloth was a little tricky to work with.
I have already invested a small fortune in more patterns from Witchy Stitcher and will be a cross stitcher for life (next to crochet). My husband has (lovingly!) called me a "hoe of all hobbies" and I have to say I agree, I'm a bit of a slut for a good craft.
