'f*Uck The Blues' Cross Stitch Housewarming Gift

When my friend April, an implant from St. Louis, moved house I had to give her a cheeky housewarming gift.

I actually free handed this entire project using a template of 7×5 (7 x’s down, 5 across). I just sort of figured how to do everything as I went, and the music note was the hardest part. Turns out that free handing a leaning music note with a log tail in a 7×5 space is actually impossible. So just pretend that it looks how it’s suppose to. This whole project went by in a few hours and was actually a total breeze. Not having to worry about making something look like a pre-existing pattern was really freeing, I highly recommend it.
