I have to admit to getting a little obsessed with craft mags. It all started with CrossStitcher issue 264 April 2013 when the free gift of a vintage wooden rose keyring tempted me. I was on a few days holiday from work and thought it would be a nice little project to get me going and keep me occupied.
This was going to be my first attempt at cross stitching but I found I took to it quite easily. I did have a bit of trouble with the free kit in that it didn't provide enough blue thread but a quick trip to my local craft store with my unfinished keyring to match thread was successful and I finished my project. I didn't like the back of the keyring as it looked messy so I cut out a piece of felt and added a running stitch around the circle and glued it onto the back of my keyring. It now has pride of place on one of my bags and I am really pleased with it.
