Welcome to my new blog and thank you all for reading! Here I wanted to create a blog so I can talk and show you some of the things that I have Cross Stitched. I love to stitch up some geeky items. Now to start with some background.
So long ago when I was a wee little girl... maybe not that wee, I was never very wee. I don't even remember how old I was maybe 10 or 11. Anyway, my mother taught my sister and I how to cross stitch. I remember she used to bring us to Wal-mart (back when they had an awesome fabric and crafting section, sadly today they're stupid and got rid of all of the good stuff). So she brought us there and let us pick out any pattern for cross stitching that we wanted and then showed us how to start stitching. It was so nice and kept me occupied for hours, my sister not so much. Later in life I asked my mother why she taught us to stitch and she just replied with "Well I taught you so it would keep you quiet for a couple of hours."
Eventually I stopped stitching when I was a teenager. I really don't know why, I think I just lost interest in the pre made patterns. Now that I am older I wanted to create again and I remembered that I knew how to stitch. So I looked up online for some awesome stitch patterns, I bought all of the supplies I needed again and I haven't stopped. I love working with embroidery floss, just looking at all of the colours are so pretty. My favourite sized cloths to use are 16 count and 18 count Aida Cloth. I just use white but the antique stuff is really nice for an older look.
So that is my story. Now I have made my own Etsy store and I hope that I can sell enough things to work at this full time. This is my dream, it is hard work and very time consuming but I love it and I hope others will love it too. Here is the link to my Etsy store: https://www.etsy.com/ca/shop/Taraforming
I have asked my Fiancee to make me a logo and a banner since he is a graphic designer and does awesome work. He's busy with work right now so hopefully by this weekend when he has some time off he can make something for me.
Well thank you for reading my first post. I will try to post something every day depending on how busy I am with working on my stitching. Now I will leave you with a picture of the first thing I stitched when I got back into stitching. I made this for my fiancee and it is currently sitting on top of a shelf in our home.
