Parisian Flower Shop by Cross Stitch

May 10th, 2010 | Categories: Crafting | 5 Comments

Almost a year ago I posted a sneak peek of this particular cross stitching project and finally, it’s done. (Click image for the full-size version.)

This is without a doubt the most complicated cross stitching project I have undertaken (for comparison, take a look at A Weekend a Paris and Celestial Gathering) and I couldn’t be happier with how it turned out. After completing the Parisian Flower Shop, I feel like I can tackle anything in the cross stitching world!

I’ve already started on my next cross stitching project, but it is an incredibly simple piece. I’m sure I’ll have it completed in no time, which means that I might have time to whip up another handmade craft to give away on this blog in the coming weeks…
