Due to my recent urge to create and my lack of artistic skill, I've decided to try my hand at crossstich, the paint by number of crafts. Today Amelia and I ventured to Strawberry Sampler, an adorable crossstich store in Glen Mills. In addition to the beginners kit they gave me, I also purchased a small, (seemingly) easy sampler that I am going to make for a friend's baby, as well as the patterns shown here. They had gorgeous samplers and patterns that are way more complicated that I am willing to tackle yet- but hopefully someday! Wish me luck! (and perseverance!)
