Hi there!

Post by michwat »

Hi everyone,

My names Michelle and Im new on here, Im 31, a mummy to one little boy whos 2.5yrs old and live in Cheshire. I love cross stitching and have been stitching for as long as I can remember (with a few gaps where the stitchy bug went awol!), my nan taught me when I was little and I haven't looked back! She didnt have as much success teaching me to knit as I had more holes than knitting and gave it up as a bad job!! :lol: I also love baking and make and eat far too many cakes! :cake:

I look forward to chatting to you all and seeing what exchanges etc you have on here!

I love stitching animals and I have just started the Maia African Sunset - this is my largest project so will take me a while but has so much detail Im sure it will be amazing once done!! I also love Christmas and made a stocking for my little boy for the xmas just gone, was the most time consuming thing ive done and had loads of sequins but looks fab!! I also love stitching flowers!

I like stitching cards, bookmarks etc, but only really have time to make family ones. Will post some pictures when I get sorted on here!!

What does everyone else like?

Oh and hi tubbsy! xx
