That will be a beautiful piece to give to a vet's office Animal people are such wonderful people. I have had to help several dogs to the rainbow bridge and all but one of the vets has been wonderful. The one who wasn't wanted me to do home dialysis on a 16 1/2 year old blind and hard of hearing dog with failing kidneys and who I had found terrified trapped behind a plant in my living room when I came home from work one day. I just knew it was time.
I like to do my cross stitch sitting in a comfortable chair with a good lamp near by. I usually found I did not need a hoop if I was working on adia cloth.
