My first blog post!

Ok, so I've been waffling about this for ages. After all, my DH has a blog. So many of my online friends have blogs. Why shouldn't I have one too? A final push and here I am! I really don't know if I'll even have anything to say, but here goes! lol!

I know for me, pictures are an important attraction of blogs. So here, hopefully, is my first picture.

I'm taking an online class by Amy Mitten called Not for Us Alone. I've wanted to stitch this piece for ages, and now I finally am! This is just a part of what I've stitched, but it's the most interesting part. I love the ladies and the gentleman and dogs, don't you? Unfortunately, I've put aside another project to work on this one, but hopefully it will get picked up again -- I have enough UFOs as it is! Oh, and apologies for the wrinkles. I have never figured out how to get those creases out of a piece of linen, and as for ironing before taking a picture, -- well that just doesn't happen! I'm afraid with me wrinkles are a part of life!

I feel like all of a sudden I'm on a big stage with all eyes on me! Talk about stage fright! lol! One of the things I pondered a lot with a blog was what I would feel comfortable blogging about. It remains to be seen what I decide, whether I'll stick to just cross stitch or delve into other realms of my life. I hope this blog ends up being interesting. I'll do my best to make it so!

Anyway, I will be arranging my blog in the next few days and adding various things to the sidebar. Thanks to Siobhan for pushing me into the blog world!
