Happy Birthday, Mom!
I feel like giving myself a huge pat-on-the back today! I finally finished this cross-stitch project for my mom! I started it four or five years ago (I can’t even remember now) to give to her as a birthday gift, and whaddya know, it’s finally done (too bad her birthday was in June).
I chose this design because my mom loves lighthouses and she also loves the serenity poem. I remember we had it in a cross-stitch hanging on the wall in our house when I was growing up.
I enjoyed doing the counted cross-stitch, but I think I would prefer the freedom of embroidery, and that’s my next craft to tackle!
Here’s some detail of the stitching.

This is great – I have one of a pot of lavender that I started about 5 years ago and haven’t finished. It is at my Mum’s in Australia… guess it will never get done!
Hope your Mum likes it and appreciates the effort! Sure she will
I LOVE IT!! Thank you, thank you , thank you, gracias, too, so much my sweetie, for this wonderful present I will cherish forever. You know how much I truly love anything you make for me. It is perfect and I can’t wait to hang it on my wall-haven’t decided which one as yet and still need to have it framed!!
You are amazing! I love you!!
This is beautiful. I know it took a bit of time to finish it.
