<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Here is cross stitch I made for my Mum for Christmas, we quite like the programme NCIS and Mum loves Gibbs' rules so I picked a few and did some Gibbs related art to go with it.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This is something I have been working on for quite a while. The was originally based on an image I found on <a href="http://www.shutterstock.com/pic-46715641/stock-photo-a-pow-comic-book-illustration-isolated-on-white-background.html">shutter stock</a> but I had to change the design quite a bit to fit the piece of glass. </span><br />

Basically I used some black glass paint for the outline, then I used Promarkers to colour in the coloury bits and used PVA to attach beads on.</span><br />

As much as I love Futurama I was more interested in making it look like old coding and making the frame look like an old CRT monitor. The text also glows in the dark, it was a complete accident (picked up the wrong thread) but I am quite happy about it! I did have to alter the pattern, well ok I was totally winging it but it isn't hard to do.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I got my idea from <a href="http://abigailscraftshowto.com/2010/05/cardboard-craft-tetris-organiser/">this blog</a> but had to make a few adjustments to fit my needs.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I didn't use the templates she gave, I made an open sided box out of coloured scrapbook card and put it inside a slightly larger open sided box made from black scrapbook card to make drawers. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">If anyone else wants to make this I would recommend knowing your exact layout when starting rather than winging it like I did and triple check all your measurements and that you have enough card!!</span><br />
<div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Try and convince people to help as it is a lot of work, I had Marmee scoring, D cutting and me glueing. </span><br />
