Simple Cross Stitch

When my Martha Stewart Magazine came, I loved this idea and ripped it out. Then my sister came over and wanted a copy too :) So I thought I would share it with my blog friends! Martha featured some simple cross stitch patterns with just one color designs that you can take on the go. I love the fact that they are so simple and perfect for beginners. Go HERE for the patterns or get a template to make your own image into a cross stitch.

Cross Stitch Organization

A few years ago I realized I needed some way to organize my cross stitch patterns. They were growing and multiplying and I didn't have a good system for them.

And frankly, I LOVE organizing. 

The best part is that you probably have all of the supplies if not all of them at your house already. 

 It's simple but effective.

All you need is a 3 prong folder and clear

plastic sleeves. That's it!

Here are some photos.... 

I store my finished cross stitches that I haven't framed yet,

 in a plastic bag in the front pocket.
