Recently, I shared my previous cross stitch project, featuring colourful feathers. I liked the pattern so much that I ended up saving that set for a very long time. And when I finally picked it up, it didn’t turn out exactly as it looked on the packaging. It was cute, but the colours were different and not to my taste.
