Cross Stitch Project #1: Bloody Rose

When I first created my Instagram account it was with a clear purpose: to have a creative outlet alongside the blog. I very early on decided I wanted to combine my cross stitch adventure with my passion for books. I set out to create cross stitch works based on book covers, one every month. It took me a bit longer than expected to finish my very first project, but here it is! 🙈 I present: Bloody Rose.
