Last week we celebrated Opa and Oma's 50th Anniversary and I had a brilliant idea to create a cross stitch for their gift. I took a photo of a Dutch windmill from their tablecloth and started an attempt to create the cross stitch pattern myself - which was far too difficult! So I found a great website called Pic 2 Pat where you can upload a photo and they will generate a cross stitch pattern for you. It is a really easy to use, free online program which saves a lot of time when creating a custom cross stitch pattern.
With the colours being all over the place for this pattern it took a lot longer than I'm used to, but in the end I finished at least one square each day.
And of course with a handmade gift you need to give a handmade card so I used watercolour pencils to create a bright flowery card!
