Cross stitches with use of spacing to make a different look to the old stitch.

I used chain stitches for the heart, split stitch for the lettering, back stitch for the house and the people, and running stitch for the pavement. The fabric I used was some canvas fabric that my Great Auntie gave me (she is an artist and was going to use it to paint on I think).

 Last night I didn't know what to do since I'd finished the bibs and the straps and so I tidied out all the threads I had and found a bead box to put them in:
 It looks so pretty don't you think? It also looks a bit OCD but hey I was bored!
