I've only learned to cross-stich in the last few years and I really love it! I enjoy sitting on the couch with something random on in the background and making something cute. It's super relaxing.
I don't like doing large patterns, as I get bored of the design quickly and then I never finish it. I like doing tiny lil ones, patch size. I then turn my lil cross-stiches into patches for my jackets/bags.
These are some links to some patterns I've found.
