I’ve had a lot of time for cross-stitch lately, so my Snow Leopard cross-stitch project is coming along nicely.  I take pictures of it every couple of days, when I’ve made major progress.  Usually I post those as separate posts, but this time I decided to save a few and post them as an animated GIF.  Now if only I’d planned for each picture to be about the same size before I started, hehe…

People always comment on the time and patience it takes to do needlework.  I find that it’s very soothing and relaxing.  This animated GIF got me thinking, though…wouldn’t it be cool to do a time-lapse of a cross-stitch work in progress?  But gosh that would be a lot of work.  You’d have to set up the camera such that you could take a picture every stitch, or at least every couple of stitches.  I think the end product would be fun, but I sure don’t have the patience for it!
