I never had a chance to do cross stitch when I was a kid not because we were that poor but because my mom concentrated a lot on the boys and nurturing them instead of us the girls. When I got older, I was too busy trying to make a life for myself, so cross stitch never came into my mind. I took up cross stitch because of Chloe but ended up liking it so much because it’s so relaxing.
The only problem ? my eyesight – because i need bi-focal for seeing things that are near – and I do have bi-focal but just don’t really know how to make use of it – so I take off my glasses and cross stitch without them. I noticed that it’s not really that good for the eye – I seems to be straining it a lot lately – so I’m taking it easy on the cross stitch and do a little at a time. Cross stitch helps me to stay in the same room and watch PB play his games or watch a movie he likes and I don’t. Of course, it also helps me to stay in the tv room with chloe and watch her Wizards of the Waverly place for the 10th time – hahahha! So yes, it’s quite pleasing to cross stitch.
