2000 Years Ago

I had some doubts on framing our 2000 years ago stitching project from Shepherds Bush. It was a bit expensive and it would only hang in my house for a few weeks... But to leave it in a cupboard and do nothing more with it was not an option either. Now I am so happy I did frame it. It looks great! M and I have been stitching it for 3 or 4 years. We started off with the first four pictures and then had to wait for the Cross Stitch Christmas Ornament issue to be published each year. When the eighth picture was published we thought the sentence didn't make sense and we thought we had to start all over again. When we mailed the designers from Shepherd's Bush they explained to us how the sentence should be read and we, students of English, were very much ashamed! It now reads: 2000 years ago, the angels sang, shepherds watched, wisemen came, in a stable, as Bethlehem slept, Mary and Joseph, their sweet baby kept. G.

And this is mine! Spot the difference.... apart from the mat... and the odd amish... M.
