Cross stitch lighthouse

I had to have carpal tunnel surgery and while my wrist was healing, I could not do much of anything as far as crafting is concerned, but I was able to do cross stitch using a frame to hold the hoop while I worked the needle up and down.  I healed enough to be able to continue working on the piece while riding down to Florida. I always have to be working on something while riding in a car for long distances.  I was able to hold the hoop with my hand without it hurting, so I was able to finish the piece.  I decided to give it to my best friend, Nancy, for her birthday. She also likes to do cross stitch and I think she will appreciate the work that goes into it.
