Hand stitch > Cross stitching?

I have this love/hate relationship with cross stitching.
My Mom taught me how to cross stitch...and I love how it looks when it's all finished. 
However, I have no patience. It takes forever to complete a single project. 

This lady right here has inspired me to do hand stitching designs.
I love the looks of it. I feel like I would have more control over my designs and I could get a single project done a lot quicker. 
I'm up for the challenge.

  3. I've been toying with the idea of learning cross stitch also, but, like you, I'm worried I won't have the patience for it and that I'll end up with a bunch of half completed works lying around. I really need to give it a try though...
