I never imagined that cross-stitching could be cool until I stumbled upon the etsy shop of innovative seller weelittlestitches. Once I saw the following Star Wars pattern, I had to try it.
Here is my mini version of their pattern. Not perfect, but it definitely makes me smile.

This seller has tons of geek and movie inspired patterns, so checking out their shop is well worth it. I may have to buy this Breakfast Club pattern next! Pixel People The Breakfast Club
Honestly, realizing that there were so many possibilities to this cross-stitch thing blew my mind a little and I tried to be creative in my next projects. Below is my tribute to the punk band, The Descendents, who I have loved since I was a teenager. I made my own simple pattern this time, based off an image.

And just for fun, I designed another simple pattern, a pleasant little robot dude.

And that sums up my first run with the cross-stitch. The bottom line, cross-stitching is no longer only your Grandmother's craft of choice. Be creative. Plenty of original patterns out there or just make your own.
