It's Update Time!

Yeah, it's been awhile since I updated. Things have been pretty crazy over here, what with Dylan's new job and all that fun stuff.

The other day, my mom taught me how to do French Knots (again!) and so know I feel comfortable enough in finishing my baby record. So, hopefully you'll see the completely finished project soon.

Speaking of baby records, one of my cousins is expecting, so I decided to whip up another baby record. I got this one all done, again save for the name, weight, and date. They actually know what the gender of the baby is going to be, so that makes it much easier. Just waiting for her to be born so I can put down the weight and all that other fun stuff.

It's a girl!

My super secret project has been put on hold because *insert trumpets here* I've been working on a project started over at Sprite Stitch. Pretty much, a few people started talking about the horrible tradgedy in Japan and how we wished we could do something to help. We got around to talking about how many of the video games which we love come from Japan, and that led to Pokémon.

So! We are now currently working on a Generation 1 Pokémon quilt. Each one of us are doing several squares, each with an evolution of a Pokémon in the square (save for a few exceptions). I'm almost done with my first square (Jinx and Mr. Mime) and here it is:

When we're all done with all the squares, we're going to sew them into a quilt and sell the quilt on ebay. All proceeds will go to the Japanese Red Cross. If you would like to find out more, please check us out. After this square, I think I've signed up for 3 more squares, so these are goig to keep me busy for quite some time, but it's all for a good cause. :)

Hello World!

So, I think I had a blog like this at one point in time, but I must have deleted it for lack of using it. But, I once again have picked up my needle and thread and have started cross stitching. It's very relaxing for me, and once I'm done, I have a (hopefully) beautiful piece of work. Also, I have joined an amazing community over at the Sprite Stitch forums. They are an amazing group of crafters from all backgrounds. They give me inspiration, and too many projects to do! lol

In short, this blog is going to be me updating you guys on all the projects I'm working on right now. I do have a secret project I'm working on for someone which I won't post up here, as that someone may see it. I will show you guys a picture when I'm all done, though.

Also, if you guys want, I can put "how-to"s about how to cross stitch or how I do certain things. Just lemme know. I love to "hear" from my readers.

Be sure to check out the other blogs I have listed on your right. I follow them all, and they are (in my opinion) much better than mine. :)

Have fun, and don't stick yourself with a needle!
