Hi Dee Dee,
Sound like your life is NEVER dull, nor the view out your window!
Here's a freebie cursive lower case back stitch alphabet:

Freebie Upper Case, not sure how large it is:

Matching lower case, again not sure of its size:

I've never made anything like you're requesting info on, so I'm posting a link to a site that has some instructions, hope it makes sense and is useful!

Another site suggested:
"That the project can be finished in several different ways including stitching it into a small accent pillow, using it as an applique on a larger pillow, or as wall art by adding an oval mat and frame." No need for a sewing machine.

More links to other types of ornies apart from cross stitch!:

Here's a link that a stitcher has posted for "Finishings" hope you find something amongst these!
