Answer: Birthdays and Christmas. I've never actually made a cross stitch for myself. They've always been gifts for someone else. The idea of making a cross stitch for myself doesn't appeal.
Jigsaw puzzles are an important therapy for me, though. And usually on Wednesdays after I do the shopping and Deal with the World. Or whenever I need a break from life, I do some of a puzzle. I usually do one puzzle a month (and new is always better, of course). I am working on one now of a scene in Havana, Cuba.
But on my birthday or Mother's Day when I get to do what I want, there is usually some crafting or puzzling involved to celebrate.
