I've decided I'm finally picking up cross stitch -- for real this time. I need something that I can do in spurts since my downtime can be sporadic, and cross stitch seems perfect for that.
Of course, I'm already eyeing all of the lovely cross stitch patterns that I'll be able to do (some day), after plenty of tutorials and practice.
This online class looks like a comprehensive place to get all of the fundamentals down. According to the reviews, even experienced cross stitchers found they learned a few new tricks from it!

Finally, this autumn floral heart would work well on a throw pillow as pictured. It combines a few of my favorite things: fall and hearts!
I may not be a fan of Pumpkin Spice Lattes (blasphemy, I know!) but I do love me some cooler fall temperatures and crunchy leaves. Just looking at these cross stitch patterns is making me excited for the change in seasons!
