Finally starting a blog!

Well, after contemplating having a blog for quite some time I finally decided to jump in and do it.  I don't have much here yet but will eventually get some photos and other stuff posted. 

I am 38 years old and live in Illinois with my husband and two kids (daughter is 20 and son is 11).  I love to cross stitch when I have time but my job seems to get in the way :)  I am jealous of those who have more time to stitch than I do.  Therefore, I don't get projects done as fast as I would like.  I am currently working on Sabrina by Nora Corbett and also have a few other wip's (Stargazer and Christmas Flourishes).  I love using Jill Rensel to frame my work, she does an amazing job! 

Most of my finishes are by Mirabilia and include: Spring Queen, Mermaid of Atlantis, Queen Mermaid, Mermaids of the Deep Blue, Circle of Friends, Bluebell, Lilly, Middy, Letter J, Christmas Fairy, New Years Fairy, Easter Fairy and Halloween Fairy.  Wow, after typing that I realized I've completed quite a few but still have enough to keep me busy for many, many years to come.

I look forward to sharing my joy of stitching!
