Designing Your Own Pattern?

Recently I have been drawing incessantly and working those same pictures into patterns for corss-stitch. I've been having a lot of fun drawing them, but I don't know that I'll ever get around to stitching them. Does anyone else enjoy creating patterns for whatever craft you enjoy?

i have been looking at a crochet book for beginners and really liked a triangle shaped shawl in and am going to make it a bit bigger and longer so i guess it is sort of like designing your own, right?

Birth Announcement - A cross-stitch birth announcement I designed and stitched for my neice's girl.
I'll often adapt patterns more to my liking, as well as creating it all from scratch. Here is a birth announcement I designed and stitched for one of my neices, for her adopted girl.

Thanks for the BR. Have you gotten around to stitching your own designs yet?

Your welcome! And, no I haven't yet. I lost the stitching bug, though it seems to be returning and I expect I'll start stitching my own designs very soon!
