Like a lot of quilters I did cross stitch before patchwork took over and every now & then I like to go back to it. When I saw this on the cover of Homespun I knew I had to make it - I have a "thing" for trees .....it's a fairly small project so I won't have time to get bored with it...lol..and in Homespun it is framed with a wooden embroidery hoop - and I happen to have one the right size...so no expensive framing needed.
I've had a long break from work really - I was away from the 17th on my trip to Nundle, went to work Monday feeling so-so and had Tuesday and Wednesday off sick...Thursdays I don't work and of course Friday was a holiday...(and Monday)...but all that work will still be there when I get back....
Thanks Wendy for hosting us for a long weekend - I hope we didn't wear out our welcome!!

Such a pretty tree that you are "growing".

Hope you are feeling better ... Lovely cross stitch xx
I love that little tree. I haven't ever done cross stitch but that is a lovely project. Don't you hate the way work never goes away when you're sick, it just waits patiently for when you get back.
hope your feeling ok after you unplanned extra leave.........I like the little cross stitch your working on........
What a pretty little tree! I have not cross stitched in years but have been seeing it popping up a lot recently and know that I have some stashed away somewhere. Not sure my eyes can follow the charts anymore though.
Very pretty tree! I was away from work last week and supposed to go back today, but I have a doozy of a cold. It was hard to decide to stay home though because of all the work that will be waiting for me!
Just noticed your beautiful blossoming tree! I also bought that Homespun magazine for the same reason but think it will be some way off before I start - so many projects to do!!
Your cross stitch tree is beautiful.
