Most of my cross stitching has been for birthday or Christmas cards, although since writing has taken over my life I don't do as much as I used to.

I've been doing A LOT of online jigsaws, mostly doing them as around 100 pieces though, my mini laptop's screen is small so if I have too many pieces they're really tiny and hard to see details on. When it comes to physical jigsaws, the bigger the better, mainly 1000 to 1500 pieces.

You should definitely get to do whatever you want on birthdays and Mother's Day.
