Whoever said cross stitch is for mumsy folks?

Once upon a time, Humptydump used to spend days working wee hours into the night making Precious Moments cross-stitch, sacrificing precious pocket money to buy countless DMC thread and counting squares from the patterns. After a while, we lost interest as there was nothing else we could do except stare at the finished product on a wall mounted frame. And then we discovered that cross stitch can be practical and modern too! Here's our inspiration for the upcoming flea market in August.

    I once again find myself spending way too much time both reading and leaving comments.
    But so what, it was still worthwhile!
