My nephew graduates from kindergarten this week. We are all so proud of him. I wish I could have been there, but I figure if I make it across the country to his high school graduation, that will take care of my duties as an aunt. And, I am sure that time will be here before we know it!
If you are celebrating a graduation for a friend or family member, use the graduation motifs to stitch a
bookmark or
card for your favorite graduate. For more gift ideas, see these
Cross Stitch Projects or select from hundreds of other
Free Cross Stitch Patterns.

I have been enjoying Cross Stitch embroidery for many, many years now. Over the course of those years, I have suffered aches and pains from stitching too long - I imagine we all have. But, a few times, I have actually managed to injure myself - we are talking drawing blood. Once I got a piece of floss embedded in my finger and it got infected. It was disgusting and took a while to heal. Luckily I was able to switch hands for stitching until my finger healed up.
I can't count the times I have accidentally stabbed myself with the needle. It is a good thing I work with tapestry needles most of the time - imagine the bloodbath if I were working with sharp needles too much.
