WHEN IT COMES TO DOING CROSS-STITCH PROJECTS, MAKE SURE U HAVE LOTS OF TIME AND PATIENCE, BECAUSE THE LARGER THE PROJECT, THE MORE YOU WILL NEED! I HAVE FOUND, THOUGH, THAT THIS IS VERY THERAPEUTIC, FOR A COUPLE REASONS; I'VE HAD TO LEARN TO FOCUS FOR LONG PERIODS(THERE'S A LOT OF COUNTING BACKWARDS AND FORWARDS), ITS A NICE CURE FOR BOREDOM, AND WHEN A PROJECT IS COMPLETED I(OR ANYONE) KNOW I'VE REALLY DONE SOMETHING PRODUCTIVE; GOOD FOR THE OL' SELF ESTEEM, I MIGHT ADD, AND PEOPLE REALLY OOO AND AHHH OVER THE FINISHED PRODUCT! IF A FRIEND OR FAMILY MEMBER GETS THIS TYPE OF GIFT FROM YOU OR I, THEY KNOW THEY'RE SPECIAL! AS YOU CAN SEE BY MY FINISHED PROJECTS(YES I ACTUALLY HAVE A FEW, LOL), MY DAUGHTER, AS WELL AS MY BELOVED CATS, ARE THE MOST SPECIAL ONES IN MY LIFE! THEY ARE ALSO VERY THERAPEUTIC!
