Cross Stich: From a Disaster to an Opportunity!

Sometime ago I was shaking a new bottle of Cafe au Lait Coloured Herbin Fountain pen ink at the same desk as my newly cut Aida cross stitch fabric was resting. Disaster!! Needless to say the cap was loose and the ink went everywhere. I had some remarkable facial and hand spots for a little while!! I washed the Aida with no hope of removal of the ink but I didn’t throw it away. I christened it and so I may as well put a name to it..the hoop will be its frame and it will hang on the wall above my coffee machine! The pattern was from Etsy but I changed the lay out to suit.
