I wish I could take credit for the designs, but no, I haven't yet designed any myself.

Since I really don't have much free time, it's just easier to buy the graphs from the stores or download off the Net.

I began cross-stitching back in 2001 after the first Michaels craft store opened in Coquitlam and I've been at it ever since. I know that it sounds so "old lady-ish", but I've always enjoyed sewing and, since I don't particularly have the desire to sew my own wardrobe, stitching becomes the next best thing.

Most of all, I enjoy dealing with an array of colours and "weaving" a variety of them together, square-by-square (almost like pixel-by-pixel) into an overall design. Working with a needle ain't bad either! ;)
