Another blog for another hobby and my first cross stitch

About 3 years ago I found a box of some small cross stitch kits in the garage.  I'd had them for a really long time but never even opened one.  I remember when I bought them really cheap on clearance when I was working at Michaels back in 2001.  I figured I should try one and see if I liked it or just donate the whole lot.  So in Aug 2015 I completed my first cross stitch.  It's a Stitch 'N Frame counted cross stitch by nmi/Needle Magic Inc.

I am not good at following all the instructions exactly for any project and I really didn't want to outline this in black. I think it looks good.
