Description
For years know, I had lying around this tree patterns. And finally I managed to x-stitch one.Why this one? because I didn't have enough green shades XD
Since I used to x-stitch a lot, I have a lot of threads. but of course, not exactly the right colors for this. so almost all the colors are improvised.
I'm aware that it looks a bit unfinish on the bottom, but I didn't like the fence the pattern showed and maple tree don't have large spreading roots. Well, I'm fine with it.
Turned it into a mouse pad. Took an old mouse pad (it didn't had any image anymore, that's why I made the x-stitch in the first place), glue the tree on it (only on the backside) and cover it with a transparent plastic sheet.
Pattern: burda special, around 1993

Good improvisation, also nice utilization of materials. The colors do remind of Oaks. But why waste what you have. I like it.

the best about homemade is actually, that it's unique. never a piece like the other.

So true so true, When I replicate a theme. There are always enough subtle differences, to keep each piece unique.
