drawing challenge NEW THEME : cross stitch

·
my late auntie cross stitched all her life. in my memory, i see her sitting by the front room window, catching the late daylight. 
·
by the time her eyes were giving, she was the first one on the block to use a magnifying glass. 
·
{a lot of couleur CRANFORD involved, when she worked away in her local circle of friends! ☻}
·

·
i don't think i appreciated embroidery work as a child, and to this day i feel inhibition towards cross stitch. 
·
but i do understand the labour of love involved, and i'd love lending it a contemporary twist, in a drawing challenge, e.g. 
·

let's cross stitch, everybody! let's pick up pencil, pen, paint. let's use paper, scissors, rock. ☻ or whatever. let's design a cross stitch pattern... leave your name in the comments section, if you are in. i'll cross stitch you later!
