Hi, my name is Ashlee and I’m an addict. I read. Constantly. If I’m not cross stitching, I have my nose in some sort of story.
This is a pattern by PlasticLittleCovers, over on Etsy. When I saw it, I had to have it. And now, after sitting on the pattern for close to a year, I made it! It’s done on 18 count, to fit in a 5x7, and I changed like, all the colors to suit what I had on hand and added the anchor imsosorry.
Each book author here has had a HUGE impact on me growing up. I’ve always grown up reading and even won a few awards for it while in school. In fact, when I went to college, it was my love of books that made me choose my major. The first author in this pile was Lewis, in about second grade, and the last was Tolkien in eigth/nineth, so I quite literally grew up with these worlds and characters influencing who I was becoming. Without them, I truly believe I wouldn’t be who I am today.
I’ve always held my love of reading as one of my favorite qualities about myself, so it was nice to do this pattern. I finished it over a week ago, but just finally got it in a frame (that I’ve had for like, 2 years, ashlee why do you hoard things like this) this afternoon!
