cross stitch: craft project 1

well, here is a looksie into the process of cross stitching! I took forever and a day to finally finish this (I am terribly slow at completing projects- they get random spurts of love every few months/weeks). Sorry that the final outcome is sideways, forgot to turn it prior, and am now too lazy.  :) This was for me mum for mother's day (yes, see how slowly I update?)
