Here's a cross stitch I did. I made the black background using Tunisian crochet, which sets up a good piece of material for doing cross stitching into. This took me about three days to make. I don't have much experience with cross stitching so this was kind of a simple learning project for me. And I don't know if you can tell but the little x's at the top are straighter and more consistent than the ones near to bottom.
Some one had asked my mom to make a cake for a baby shower. And of course since my mom is now living with me and she knows how crafty I am, she asked me to make a baby Hulk. I just used store bought fondant and it was butt fucking ridiculous. I was so frustrated working on this. I like the way cakes look with things on them made out of fondant, but I hate working with it and it's probably because I haven't used it a lot.
Here's a picture of the finished cake:
