Picking colors for cross-stitch
Ok, all I wanted to say is that cross-stitchers are the most patient and dedicated people on this planet. Because when I want to cross-stitch - I buy a kit with floss and canvas already there. But when I drool over the wonderful, beautifu, amazing patterns here, I never realized how much work and time and patience one need to select all the floss colors before starting to actually cross-stitch.I fancied a nice book mark with Mona Lisass eyes, there are only 7 colors - I got tired right away in the shop selecting the colors, lol
I cannot even fathom how people manage to collect a dozen shades of brown or blue or red.
Cross-stitchers are wizards non the less.

OH. MY. GAWD!!11 :funk:
My jaw dropped so hard I think the downstairs neighbours can hear it cracking
I am only able to piece the puzzles with as much details. @celiamerula
It is a big project, but it is not a very difficult pattern.
Not much confettie and no backstitches.
Sometimes larger spots with the same colour, so easy stitching.
When i saw the pattern here on pindiy i was afraid the details wont come out.
But i saw a picture of someone who was working on it on facebook and i was sold.
I downloaded the pattern and looked at it and saw it was easy,so i started it.
Unfortanetly the last few weeks i havent much time to work on it.
When i reach the top of the second vertical raw i will post a picture of it on the forum. Picking the colors is my favorite part, more fun than the stitching sometimes.
