Cross stitching some positive words

I picked up this lovely photo frame recently from my local £1 shop. I could have put photos in it but I thought it would be just perfect for displaying some positive words I wanted to cross stitch. I think cross stitch really comes into it's own when used for words or phrases.

I played around with images and texts and colours and this is what I came up with. All the images and text I used was from this great book.

I began cross stitching the word love which I think is a really important one and this is what I came up with.

Next I cross stitched live, life, laugh which I think are also really important words.

Next I wanted to add strength and resilience which are words my family and I can particularly relate to of late.

Finally I wanted to include be kind which I think is equally important and applies to all aspects of life.  

I am so pleased with my finished cross stitch picture which I shall now be hanging in my craft room. 

Thanks for stopping by and until next time.
