Back in high school and college, I was really into drawing and cross-stitch. I dabbled in painting, tie dye, etc., but pencil drawing and cross-stitch were my favorites. Visiting my parents, there are plenty of examples- here are some!
some of my drawings from college- i was rarely without my sketchbooks!
a batik from high school
cross-stitch- this one earned me a grand champion ribbon at the county fair!
cross-stitch samer, maybe from college?
i made this for my dad, who was in a gospel quartet and also sang solos at church.
i think this was my first big project- 8th grade.
i made this one for my grandparents, who loved gardening!
plaques from spelling bees and 4-H, mostly
i had no idea how many ribbons and pins i had!
some of my favorite pins.
Ahhhh the nostalgia. Thanks to Mari Kondo, though, I had little trouble throwing a lot away, giving my parents back some precious storage space! No regrets!
