Cross-stitch, Day 1+
Well, I picked out a cross-stitch kit, even if it’s not really my thing. It was the least awful one I could find, and not too large, though it seems that it has a bit of extra stitching too. I’m not really looking forward to the french knots, but I have a bit to go until then.
I don’t want to reveal the design just yet, but here’s my progress so far:
I worked on it for an hour or two (maybe more) last night, and about the same today so far, so I thought it would be good to check in. I’ve never really tracked this sort of thing before, so I thought I’d at least take photos as I go along. I won’t be counting hours or anything though.

Already looks interesting. I agree with your complaints about the cross stitch kits available having such boring, old fashioned designs.
Have you tried Knitpro 2.0? http://www.microrevolt.org/knitPro/
You can upload your own image and it transfers it into a pattern for you. I haven’t done any crossstitching with the patterns that come out, but they look pretty okay. Maybe worth a try?

Could it be that this is going to be a butterfly?
Probably I’m wrong, but right now it looks a little bit like one.

I never count the hours, but photos seem to be a good way of seeing how much progress you’ve made. It’s looking good so far
