Fabulous!

I have been inspired recently to try crafts that are new to me, and chose the Desert Escape cross stitch because I love Saguaro Cacti. To be honest, when I unpacked it I was a bit concerned that it would be difficult, but the instructions are really easy to follow and it is coming together beautifully.
Will definitely recommend to friends and I'm very tempted to buy another.

Recommendation

I love this embroidery kit! Unfortunately, since Brexit, the delivery from England to Sweden costs a bit. My recommendation to customers outside of Britain is to order together with a friend, if possible.

Escape the routine

Nice to find a contemporary design. I’ve never attempted cross stitch before but I’m finding it fairly easy to follow. I didn’t realise that the stitching is quite so tiny though and frequently have to resort to a magnifying glass to see the holes. Also no instructions on how to go to the line directly above without undoing the cross I’ve just completed as you should be coming back up the same hole. Had to make that bit up myself. Good relaxing fun though that takes me away from the everyday.
