Hello from the Canadian Prairies...

Hi there everyone!

I thought it was about time I join a forum for my favourite hobby ever. I'm a 23 years old and live on my own, except for my gentlemanly cat named Tuxedo. He is a tuxedo cat for anyone who was wondering as well

Anyways I have been stitching for more than half my life...I started doing it from those awesome little dollar store kits when I was about 8 years old. I'm pretty well known in my circle for doing lots of stitching crafts but I by far prefer to do cross-stitching. I work in the Natural Health feild specializing in Chinese Medicines and love it as well.

I have an amazing mom and sister who are my best friends, and I just moved into a new apartment that I love for being cozy, yet big.

Anyways, I think that is enough from me. Hi to everyone and wherever you all are I hope you are having a good day/night!

P.S.- I know this is alread getting long but I have to give a shout out to any Kiwi cross stitchers. I did a year long exchange there in my grade 12th year and I have nothing but love for anyone from my second home

wait what?! Your dollar stores had stitch kits? I feel like a piece of my childhood was gipped! (sp?)

Welcome to the forum!!

lol Yah, I mean they were VERY small and simple, hence why they were perfect for my mom to teach me with. She did cross stitching quite a bit so I am sure I would have learned eventually, but those little ones were even fun to do on our short family plane trips too!

Thanks for the welcome

Hello and welcome. We are glad to have you here with us.

How I wish I could have started being addicted to this hobby since childhood. I could have done so much more! But it's okay...I have no regrets as I'm having so much fun with it.
Happy stitching!

Hi and welcome What are stitching at the moment.

[babyblueeyes]

Hello everyone! I'm recently picked up a cottage one I have been working on for some time now. It's one of those projects that is relatively simple to do but somehow everytime I get around to picking it up, I find more mistakes I did that take so long just to get back on track. Argh, if it wasn't so cute I would just drop it and start something funner like a sampler

Hello and welcome!! I know the last time I was in one of our dollar stores they had a few cross stitch kits (to my amazement). Unfortunately nothing I would stitch, though.

Hello and welcome

[Nachstenliebe]

haha when I was a kid I kept starting the same project over and over again.. I'd make a mistake, get so mad and leave it for awhile. Then when I wanted to start up again it seemed easier to start over. I still have the book with the pattern in it. It's something that would probably take an afternoon or what not.
