welcome to my ramblings

To anyone out there who is looking at this blog let me first say thank you!  secondly let me apologize to you now for the slew of posts and editing mishaps that are sure to follow.  You see this is my first ever attempt at a blog or really anything online short of a facebook page which is pretty much impossible to mess up. 

The payoff for slogging (is that a word?) through my inevitable formatting errors is access to my innermost thoughts that occur to me while I am working on my cross stitch projects.  I have found that the determination involved to get through a particularly difficult cross stitch project is the same determination you need to get through a particularly difficult time in the thing we call life. One stitch at a time, one cross in front of the other, along with an occasional ripping of the old thread to make way for the new correct thread to take its place. Then in the end you are left with a beautiful project.  It may be full of mistakes but the only person who notices them is the one who stiched it.  To everyone else it is just a beautiful piece of work.   

Besides the ramblings I am looking forward to sharing all things cross stich with you. Product reviews, forever long WIP's, random silly mistakes and of course any finishes because these seem to be the hardest things to come by.  As you get to know the ins and outs of me and my designs, I am sure I will share my other passions in life. Music, yoga, reading and craft beer.  It's a random list of things to like but it's my list and I'm happy with it. 

I look forward to having all of you come along on my blogging journey and hope you all joing me in the journey of life, putting one stitch in front of the other.
