I’m very pleased to be back to cross-stitching. For those who don’t know, I was unable to stitch for many years due to my burns (I’m a burn survivor) and CRPS/RSD. I have a hard time just sitting and not doing something with my hands (probably due to inculcation of too intense a work ethic) and it’s lovely to be able to listen to books and news or debates on YouTube and do something meditative, productive, creative, and beautiful at the same time. I’m currently working on a Dimensions® Gold Collection™ cross stitch kit by Myles Pinkney called “Scarlet Wizard”. As of tonight, here’s my current progress. I love how the back looks like an impressionist painting of the front!
