Cross-Stitch #4: The Molecular Structure of Chocolate Christmas Chocolate Box
After making the Avengers logo and pixel Thor, I got to change things up a bit for my present for my partner’s mother. She teaches chemistry at a community college and loves chocolate (who doesn’t), and so I thought a stitch of the molecular structure of theobromine (chocolate) would be a fun present.
I found a variety of patterns of theobromine online and repurposed them to my own pattern. When I finished, I discovered that my completed design was too big for my hoop (I didn’t think my plan through), so instead, I attached it to the cover of a Christmas box. It’s now a nerdy box for Christmas chocolates.

Aw, thanks, Denise! :-)
What a brilliant present! It’s thoughtful and handmaid and lots of fun :)
Thank you! I was so nervous about *not* hooping the cross-stitch at the time, lol.
