Today's stitch is S for:
Expensive:
adjective - costing a lot of money
origin - early 17th century from the Latin expendere (to pay out) and the English expend (lavish and elegant)
This is a very subjective adjective though. What is expensive to one person, may just be pocket money to another.
Here are a selection of charts which depict expensive items:
Promessa by AAN
Bugatti Veyron Caricature by Stitchtastic
Versailles At Night by Classic Cross Stitch
My personal Ss include:
Swansea - a place I called home for three years during my university days. I loved it there and still reminisce about it a lot.
scrapbooking - a very serious hobby for a few years between my break from cross stitching. I was hoping to fit both into my life but my needles are constantly pulling me away. No doubt I shall return to it one day.
And my finished S piece is:
Sepia Baby by Vervaco
Stitched as a birth sampler for my daughter, this was my first venture into sepia tones and I loved it! There are only a few colours but it was so soothing to stitch.
See you tomorrow for a very easy T.

Since I started cross stitching, all my other hobbies have taken a back seat, sometimes more, sometimes less, like your scrapbooking, lol. Cross stitch seems to be more addictive than anything else for us.
A wonderful birth sampler that you stitched for your daughter, Rachel.
The birth sampler is sooo cute !!:) Do share some of your earlier scrapbooking finishes, would love to see.
Heather's births sampler so gorgeous :D I tried scrapbooking but I just never got into it at all! Cross stitching all the way for me :D
I love the baby birth sampler you made for Heather!!
I do love Sepia stitching but find there aren't enough charts out there :) - I know, I do have a big one to finish in my WIP list -
:) I spell 'spensive that way for fun sometimes. I love that sampler and must resist buying that one too!
Super post. Another lovely birth sampler. I combine my scrapbooking with my stitching, two hobbies in one.
Adorable sampler :). Great choices!
What a sweet sampler for Heather. I like that AAN design, it's very stylish.
That is a beautiful sampler. It does look very peaceful...
Still slowly catching up. I just love the sepia baby piece. Beautiful work! I think I would get bored with the lack of color but it turned out wonderful indeed!
