Plaid Shirt Cross Stitch

 Hello everyone, I hope this finds you enjoying pleasant late summer days.  I think I have mentioned somewhere in the past that I like men's shirts.  They are made with very good fabric , they are not tailored......I don't do well with tailored clothing, and for some reason, some men's shirts come in the most lovely shade of  pink.  I don't want to wear a man's shirt that looks like a man's shirt, I always embroider on them or add lace trim.

While browsing through a thrift store, I came across a man's shirt with a very tiny plaid design........the only reason I purchased it..........well also because it was oversized and would be perfect to wear. When I saw the tiny black and white grid, I instantly thought.........cross stitch!

I purchased this shirt many years ago and just now decided to start cross stitching a design onto it. .

I also have had this rose design in an old cross stitch booklet that I have always wanted to stitch.  It was perfect for this shirt.

Now I am trying to decide whether I want to cross stitch more rose work on this shirt for a more elegant look, or do I want to cross stitch different motifs for a cooky laid back shirt.  What do you think?  There is a lot of shirt and space to still cross stitch.

If you read my last post, I was in the beginning stages of crocheting a flower.  

I finished it and hope to start crocheting more at a later date.

Thank you all for praying for our state of Texas and for those impacted with the horrific flooding. It did not happen in our area, but we are all saddened with all that has unfolded. 

So tell me what you are doing with your creative hands during these last days of summer. I always love to hear about what you are doing and creating.
