Christmas is coming, so...

... if you're into cross-stitch and want something unusual as a special gift for that special guy, this might fill the bill.

Okay, see, the thing is, I was playing around with pattern making this afternoon and found this handy little tutorial on how to make your own cross-stitch artwork. Bear in mind that I'm not really into cross-stitch, so I dont know what the ramifications are, what thread colours you'd need, or even how big this thing would be when it's done. It's all just an experiment.

But if by some wild chance you take me up on this puppy, I'd love to see how it came out. Click the image here for the full size version... but if you're a regular reader, you already know that, right? :)

And if it feels like the cartoon is wandering a bit these days... that's because it is. We're all on a little road to discovery. :) Still, regular panel stuff will be returning soon enough, with the occasional toy (like this) thrown in just to keep you on yer toes.
