New fractal with a twist
Hey everybody! Long time no stitch :)

I was just over at Cross Stitch Collectibles and saw something really interesting. Ever wanted to do a fractal and been daunted by the twenty page charts? Well be daunted no more. Or maybe not as daunted.

Introducing the fractal BOOKMARK

A bookmark fractal. I had to blink twice to make sure I was seeing that correctly. Then I clicked on the download button. A bookmark charted on SIX pages. Six. A bookmark. The floss list is huge. It's 75WX200H. Most of the books I read aren't big enough to hold the sucker, but it's looks like it would be fun to do.

In other cross stitch news for me, I haven't been stitching at all lately. I did frame my Titanic piece. (If you want to see pics, my craft journal is needlegeek) I haven't finished the Cross Stitch Magazine mystery stitch from last year because it's not a mystery any more and I'm not that into birds. My big fractal is about three inches short of being wide enough so I haven't worked on it. I've almost finished the January cat I started last July. I lost the tea pot I was making for my mom. I've looked everywhere. It had billions of little fractional stitches and I don't like her that much so it may have been something subliminal in the losing.

Speaking of Cross Stitch Magazine - is any one else as disappointed as I've been in their recent offerings? I haven't seen a single thing I'd like to stitch in a while from them. Anybody know of a better magazine out there to reignite my passion?

I've been feeling the need to stitch lately, but nothing in my stash is appealing to me. I've had that nasty cold that's been making the rounds and I'm afraid to work on one of my bigger pieces for fear of making mistakes. Maybe I'll pull out a mini.

Anyway, happy stitching everybody :)
