I love counted cross stitch for a lot of reasons, but the most important one of all is creating something from scratch.

There really isn't a better feeling that creating beautiful pictures. Some like to do it with ink, markers, crayons, paint, you name it, I love to do it with DMC Floss and Aida Fabric. Here I started with small piece of fabric, floss and a pattern.
And slowly but surely I brought one book cover to life. Not that you can tell yet to look at this picture that it is a book cover, but still I know and part of the picture is there.
Then the next time I pick the project up, it comes to life even more, still not completely clear where I am going with it, but seeing the different colors come to life is so exciting!
Then the progress really picks up and I can really start to see the shapes and ideas of the pattern come to life.

And now the project is so far along it is very clear that I am stitching a stack of books, I can even see the perspective of the books going in different directions. It is really starting to feel alive. It is also really exciting to be this far on a project because I can already start planning for the next stitched project. Only a few more days on this one. Happy Stitching!
