Sorry - Couldn't resist that! LOL
Well here I am with my very first blog entry. How about my stitching background? I was taught to do embroidery by my mother when I was about 8 years old. Little did I know that it would lead to my first counted cross stitch piece when I was 14. A small dimension kit that I stitched as a thank-you gift began the passion of my life!
I was lucky enough to be close to a small cross stitch shop (back before Hobby Lobby & Michael's) that supplied my fix for patterns, fabric, & floss. 99% of my stitching was Aida - 18ct being my preference. Now, of course, I stitch on linen more than Aida. My favorite count is 36 (or 40). I belong to a wonderful cross stitching board, where I have made so many awesome friends.
So, that's me "in a thimble". Here's a couple of my older pieces. The first is from an old Something Special book and the other is a full-size Monopoly board that someday I hope to get framed into a custom-made gaming board. For more of my pieces, please check out my Picture Trail albums. The link is under "Favorite Links".
