Its all about ME

I have been cross stitching on and off for about 25 years. I taught myself when I was first married, still in college and had a little more free time... no kids, worked part-time and when to Shepherd College part-time. I just had a few classes to finish up. I have to say that I am "hooked" on stitching... and stash shopping for my passion. My favorite designer is Nora Corbett of Mirabilia, but I also love the charts from Heaven and Earth Designs, Chatelaine and then of course there are the samplers! I seem to gravitate to the larger designs for some reason even though it means that I don't actually get a large number done in one year!

I am a mom of 4 (3 boys and 1 girl). I work outside the home as a dispatcher for Loudoun County Public Schools. I have been with the county for 15 years, having started out as a bus driver so that I could work and take my kids with me on the bus. When my daughter started school full-time, I became a dispatcher as I wanted a full-time job in an office and being with the county was one of the best decisions I could make. I work the 5am - 2 pm shift Monday thru Friday which allows me to be home when my daughter gets home from school. It also allows me to get some stitching time in. However, I do look forward to the day when I can stay at home and stitch most of the day!!

    Hi! I am stitching on Madonna of the Garden and Mermaid of Atlantis. I can't wait to order Athena and get started on her, however, I have so many Mirabilia's that I want to stitch that I will have to hold back on it. Thanks for the Kudo!!!!
