My first needlepoint

 
After going through things and trying to purge many an item. I came across this. The very first cross-stitch I ever made! What a find! I was about 7 or 8 years old. I did this when I was staying with my aunt for a week in Michigan. My mom told me that this project was supposed to last me the whole week. But I remember I completed it in less than a day. This hung on a bulletin board for years. So, unfortunately, it was not cared for the way it probably should have been. I am glad I still have it.  I was pretty much hooked after that. Don't bring me into a craft or fabric store if you want me to just browse. I just can't resist the fabrics, threads, notions and embellishments. My mind is constantly turning in the store with one question...'what can I do with this?!'. I love this medium of art, the colors, the texture, everything!

Do you remember what your first project was? Do you still have it? Share with us when and how you got started and why you love it!
