New Cross-stitch Completed: The Stargazer
This summer I finished another cross-stitch. Like the last one I posted about, this is also a Mirabilia Designs cross-stitch (from a pattern released in 2006), and is called The Stargazer. As you will see, it’s not a particularly colorful design (so many different blues!).

And so now, for either those who’ve held off reading it yet and maybe need some enticement, or for those who just like to hear about what went into a story, I’d like to tell you a bit more about it.
