Over my years of cross stitching, I have framed my designs and YES paid someone else to finish them for me, including Christmas ornies. How pitiful. I am always wanting to finish my projects myself so I bit the bullet and went to our local Joann's Craft & Fabric store and signed up for sewing machine lessons. Our supply list was small, and included purchasing a yard of fabric. I love this pattern and don't care if all I do is sew a seam all the way around it. I am sure I can use it somewhere down the road.
Fitness, Stitching and Public Speaking are a key part of my life. My approach to life is "in it to win it"; from bodybuilding, cross stitching, sewing to public speaking. I believe everyone has their own version of an athlete inside of them, a creative side and a unique personality that makes us all interesting. I encourage you to step out of your comfort zone and find the "IT" within you and express it in ways that bring you joy and peace.

Sewing Lessons and More Fall Fabric!!!
I am so excited about taking my first sewing machine lesson tmrw. My grandmother sewed, my mother use to sew, but I never learned how. In the 12th grade, I took a Home Economics Class (dating myself) and paid a friend to sew my stuff for me. Back then I had no patience or interest in it.
