So, it's been a while since I've worked on this blog at all. Major life changes and all that shoved it way down on the priority list. I think I'm finally settling into my new life in this new place though. Lately I've been thinking it's time to try this again, start learning again! Not to mention sharing. I may even throw in the occasional update on my personal life- my sister seems to find it cathartic and I must admit her blog IS amusing. Eventually (if the living room ever gets done and I have a decent place to record videos) I hope to have a youtube companion channel with videos actually showing other people the things I learn along the needlearts road. That's a ways off yet though. For now, I'm just trying desperately/still to find the stitching and knitting community down here. Ah, how I miss back home where there were 5 EGA chapters within an hour's drive of my house! Now the closest chapter is 2 hrs away. Le Sigh Tomorrow will hopefully be a day of discovery- I have found a website for a needlepoint shop that should be a mere hour and 15 mins away and I plan on venturing forth to see with my own eyes if it does indeed exist! I will report back with my findings.
