Your cross stitch is gorgeous! You mentioned you can't do it anymore due to possible arthritis. I actually have had surgery on both of my thumbs for arthritis. I'll never get arthritis on my thumbs again. If I had to do it all over again I would go for the surgery. The difference was amazing for me. Now if they could find a way to remove all the other little bones in my body that rub together were old art resides I would be so happy. :)
