Crafty Tips:	Did you know that you can do counted cross stitch on regular fabric? You can put unique designs on clothing or anything else you'd like to stitch on. Use a nifty little product called "Waste Canvas", found at most craft stores. You cut a piece slightly larger than your stitching and baste onto your fabric. Using a normal sewing "sharp" needle, stitch your project - don't pull your stitches real tight. When done, thoroughly wet the waste canvas and stitching. Then, remove the waste canvas with tweezers. Let it dry, and you have a unique item.
