Welcome to my blog!

Hi. I guess it was time to create a blog to share my favorite things; crafts, books, and my cats. This is mostly about my craft passions; cross stitch, quilting, and punchneedle. I have seen other blogs that show the progress of cross stitch projects, which is so cool. My friend Sue and I are planning on stitching in tandem soon so we can help motivate each other to stitch, stitch, stitch. I seem to be hording as many cross stitch patterns, fabrics, especially hand-dyed, and fabrics for quilting as I can. (And it's getting ridiculous). I say I am getting ready for retirement but I am only 34. At the rate I am going, I will be able to open a store by the time I am 40. :) But, that's the fun part, right?
