WIP Wednesday: Cross Stitch!

Can you believe I've never done ANY cross stitch?! I've never really seen the point since you can have much more freedom in your designs using backstitch embroidery. I also hate the look of aida cloth and think unless you have the whole surface covered in stitches it looks rubbish (and I don't have that kind of patience)
So I recently discovered soluble canvas! and that's what I'm using here, means I can use fabric from my fabulous stash and just add cross stitch accents to bits and bobs, here and there... so that's what this is all about... but *shhh* I'm not going to tell you exactly what this is for yet, but I'm very excited about it!
