Thanks for the affirmation! I suppose I think of art as the visual arts more than the written word, and I can't paint or draw even though I'd love to be able to.
I tend to cross stitch from kits so never my own designs although I'm thinking about having a go at something original. I'm working on a kit which is clifftop poppies at the moment, having just finished several kits for a friend of mine which ranged from a horse's head to a Mini! It's very therapeutic and at least means that I achieve something while parked in front of the television.
