Hello! Love the forum! I've been trying to find a good forum to talk about all things Xstitch. I've only been cross-stitching since March. I took it up as a way to de-stress. I suffer from depression and it really helps me relax. I've finished 4 projects so far (2 cats, an antique rose and a Spongebob Squarepants for my son!) and have just started my 5th!

Depending on which photo websight you are using, there are usually options to post a smaller thumbnail pic and then when you click on the thumbnail it takes you to the website to see the full picture. It took me over a year to realize that. We get a lot of full size pics and I don't know if that matters or not. I don't mind big pics myself. Easy to see how pretty the work is.
