Completed Cross-Stitch Project - 18 Years in the Making!

Some 18 years ago I bought myself a cross-stitch kit to make spectacle case, and this week after all this time I finally completed it. This little project stored in a small plastic bag has followed me on three house moves, it has been picked up and given short spans of my attention then stored back in its plastic bag. I did start the project not long after I bought it, but my interests changed and at that time I was not particularly confident at cross-stitch. Fast forward to present day, my interest in sewing rekindled and my adjustments to my work life balance see me making the most of my leisure time.

It is not perfect, I can see small mistakes from when I had first started the cross-stitch, but I am rather pleased. There were just five French Knots in the design and it took many attempts at completing them - those pesky French Knots! I do love the purple, green and gold colours. I am actually not all that sure whether I will use it to keep my glasses in it, but my mobile phone fits in it a treat.
