welcome to the forum! I live in the U.S too!

oh and you are from Hawaii..do you live there now?
I came across a singer from Hawaii that has passed away but his voice is amazing..Iz..I'm sure you have heard of him,no?
well I bought on of his cd's and love listening to it in the car and sometimes while stitching.
so summery and gives a great vibe!

anyway..i ramble..lol..sorry.

welcome!

Well "Aloha" from the deep south! I'm a transplanted Hawaiian, living in Georgia! Been in the states for twenty five years, but still have family there. We visit every so often. Again Welcome to the forum!

mahalo for the warm welcome.... i stumbled across this site just looking for tips on how to improve my stitching.... visited a few other forums, but this one was definitely the best! very friendly people, great tips, wide variety, etc.... registered just to look at other stitchers' galleries

finally decided to introduce and start posting.... anyways, coffee freak, yes i live in hawaii now and i know of "braddah Iz", otherwise known as israel kamakawiwaole.... he's a legend here, the best.... my hula halau (hula group) dance to a number of his songs, he is missed very much.... i'm glad that you appreciate his music too.... stitchindude, i'm very impressed, you're the first guy i've ever known who stitches, solid! where in hawaii are you from? it's a small world huh? once again, thanks to everyone who's made me feel welcome, looking forward to getting to know you.... also, would like to know when the next chart swap will be happening, would like to be a part of that....

happiegirl, I was born and raised in Kaimuki. Graduated from Kalani High School in 19.....
I have sister who lives in Aliumanu and a son that lives in Hilo. Love Brudda Iz, I have most of his songs. And of course my "Hero" Frank DeLima, Da Pochoman! So there you go, it is a small world!

Rose, i went to california to do the whole disneyland thing, but that was ages ago, when i was a little girl.... you should definitely come down to hawaii someday....

stitchindude, i was born in kaimuki too! but my family moved around a lot, lived in palolo, halawa, and now makakilo.... miss frank delima, he doesn't do much comedy nowdays, i remember his many visits to my elementary school, always cracked me up....

thanks again everyone for the warm welcome, really looking forward to being a part of this forum....
