Photo-a-Day - May: Day 18: Something I Made

Photo-a-Day - May: Day 18: Something I Made
From crochet, to stained glass to needlepoint, my house is filled with things I've made.  However, this is the piece that started my love of hand crafts, particularly needle art. 

At probably 14- or 15-years old, I saw an ad for this crewel kit in Good Housekeeping.  It even came with the stretcher bars.  My dad helped me put them together and stretch the canvas.  Then off I went.  I don't remember how long it took except that my parents were surprised by how quickly I had it done. 

The nicest part is that I love it as much today as I did when I first saw the advertisement.
