Cross-stitch is one of those cool crafts that you can pick up and put down almost without skipping a beat.

Learn this easy craft and decorate your sideboard or kitchen wall with pairs of embroideries: choose from beautiful oil-filled bottles or a country cow and a large shady tree.

Note: There mistake on the pattern sheet! Please reverse the words Dark brown and Medium green on the key for the cow. Dark brown is 214. Medium green is 380 - now the grass isn't growing on the cow!
