Putting the Cross in Quilt Crossing

I began the new year trying to organize my sewing room, and I made a discovery of an old cross stitch piece that I had almost finished.  

I had purchased the pattern on a visit to San Francisco during my cross stitch phase.  It is called "Street Scene" by Judith M. Kirby and it reminded me of the Victorian Houses you see so often in San Francisco.

At first, it looked like it was a finished piece, but then I took a closer look and saw these spaces:

Yep, it was all done except for 3 missing black lamp posts.  I think I remember that I had just run out of black floss at the time, and so the project stalled and got put aside for another day.   So I bought myself some new black floss and finally finished it!

By doing so, I remembered how much I used to enjoy cross stitching, so I decided to give it another try.  

I had been admiring the lovely little house patterns that designer Melisa over at Pinker n Punkin Quilting so generously shares on her blog. I chose her Spring Green Saltbox have enjoyed getting it started.  Here is what I have so far:

Can't wait to get around to stitching up that little sheep in the front yard.
