Well, Amy's right, the whole middle part isn't really cross-stitch. But I'd still call it that, I think.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

That is a crossstitch

Or if you are writing a thank you note you could use embroidery or embroidered. I don't think it is needlepoint

You could just say "needlework." Covers it all!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Yeah, I'd just call it embroidery, Steph. A lovely hybrid, as Amy says.
Sara, bosses quitting is never good, but when it's just you and him...Yeah. Apparently the projects can't disappear, and the business users like me (one was my reference when I moved from contractor to permanent), but that leaves a lot of wiggle room for stress and disaster.
And I am so unwiggly...

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
And now, upon googling, is there a consensus about whether it's 2 words with a space (cross stitch) or one hyphenated word (cross-stitch)?

Because books.
I like two words, no hyphen. Hmph. M-W.com likes the hyphen, though.
I'm sorry about the wiggliness, ita. I hope the ER helped, though.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
There isn't even consensus on that in my own mind. Sometimes I go with crossstitch because three esses, who can pass that up? Needlework is a reasonable sidestep, for both the hybridness of the work and the potential differences in opinion over spelling.
It's a lovely piece, whatever the exact term for it.
Seriously, your boss quit his job, ita? The boss that just stole you from old job? I thought maybe you meant he quit for the day or quit being mad at you or something. Yowza, like you needed more excitement.

I am getting way more enjoyment than I should from posting old pictures on fb these last few weeks.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Wow. I had to check what website I was on for a minute. (Seriously, the "Dom Depot" joke gets SO OLD when every dominant thinks he's the first person to ever make that joke.) (But, uh, not you, Zen.)
I'm NOT the first person to make that joke? ::weeps::
