Re: Hello, new here!
Welcome! I'm fairly new to cross stitching but this has been an awesome place so far....though it has made me more addicted to this.

Re: Hello, new here!
I like your new project - it should be very well received by your friends.
As for wanting to live in Aussie, well I never did but as all my 5 'kids' plus their partners live here I decided it was time to move from Christchurch NZ.
You wouldn't like it much at the moment - a few days in the low 30's and very humid down here in Melbourne then tropical downpours followed by cold southerly winds and rain from the southern ocean. In other words all seasons in 1 week and the cycle keeps repeating.
Still it is a huge diverse country and my family are here and thats the main thing.
