Too hot!

It's too hot around here to knit at the moment. It was 43 today and probably the same tomorrow! So I've been cross-stitching instead. 
I bought some plastic coaster kits from the newsagents/convenience store. I hated the motif they wanted me to sew so I found my own. I only had three so I decided to do a monogram for my parents-in-laws and our daughter. So a B, a J and a M.
The design I found was lovely but the finished product doesn't adequately illustrate just how fiddly it was! But it was worth it for the end result.
I orientated the B a little different just for variety.  But I'm very pleased.
Cross stitch is nearly as fun as knitting :-)
