New here!

Hi there, fellow stitchers! I'm an artist (various mediums, but I do a lot of pen and ink and watercolor when I have the space and time to set up and really work-- not so much right now as I'm in the middle of a move, and all my craft time is devoted to stitching myself sane), I've got a variety of ...

Re: Show off your holiday gifts or holiday-themed projects

This one's from a couple year's back; http://i.imgur.com/QoVONHMm.jpg An ornament kit from Cross Stitcher magazine that I made for my cousin Robinson (who also happens to love birds).

Re: Confessions of a Cross Stitcher

Just call me Area 51, because look at all these UFOs! There's one I'll definitely finish (someday), a couple I probably won't... and at least one that I've forgotten what I was doing, since I didn't store the project with the magazine the chart was in. Yet the number of projects un-done has yet to s...

Re: Review sites you've ordered from

One of the only places I've ordered from was a little one-person shop that's since closed down... which is a shame, because I'd had such a lovely experience with them. sublimestitching.com though, I really love-- it's for embroidery, for the most part, but it's where I got my Q-snap frame and my fav...
