I started cross stitching ironically almost directly as a result of my original efforts to build a site a few years ago; I started making 88x31s, dabbled in pixel art for about 5 minutes, then realized cross stitch would add a fiber art to the mix... and that was it! I've been doing it for about a year now, though ironically as of writing (07/25) I haven't finished what I intended to be my first project, as it contains so many layers. I'll link the pattern on... the right side!
