I spent several hours today both in the aisles of Michael's craft store - wandering around and looking for just the right color threads and some sort of manual on how to use it - and stitching with a little needle and said colored threads in front of the television.
I have a pretty comon laptop bag, and I wanted to differentiate it from any other bags that I may see on the streets of the world.
I thought to myselef, "Pixel art is just like cross stitching." And with that, it was TO THE INTERNET! To find a good template for stitching something I like. I picked out Boo from SNES mario. He's so cuuute.
Here are the pics of my adventure. I will definately be doing more of this if the opportunity ever arises. It's so fun and relatively easy.

He's smiles in your face only to stab you in the back.

aunt ginger cross stitches all the time. but i think she's more into kittens and flowers and stuff.
*__* oh... cute! :)
I remember doing cross stitching at school when I was very very young. Cool idea, though. Are you tempted to do anything more ambitious? One of your own characters maybe?
charles - i'll most def try something more complex. i've got the next thing in mind and i'll post it as soon as i get my fingers working threads.
