My mum found this in one of her "rootles" - either at a car boot sale or in a charity shop. It's from a Jiffy kit and is stamped cross stitch, not counted. The first kit I ever tried was stamped cross stitch - I was six - and I think that became a UFO too. And my feelings for stamped work have not really altered much in the the intervening 35 years, despite a couple of other attempts...
Pros:
- It's bees!
- My mum gave it me
Cons:
- It's stamped cross stitch, which I hate - I can never get it looking neat enough
- It's almost a prayer, and I don't do that, even in jest - well, especially in jest, as it could be taken as disrespectful - although the idea behind the sentiment I quite like.
So - Finish or Fling?
Verdict - Fling. Again, it's up for adoption if anyone wants it! :o)
