Greetings from Nova Scotia, Canada

My name is Crystal; I am 27 years old and I have been stitching for the last 17 years. My mom taught me how to stitch on spring break when I was about 10 years old. Right now my time has been focused on cuddling my newborn son.
I love to stitch on evenweave (usually 25 count) and only stitch with DMC thread. My favorite designers are M. Sherry, Lizzie Kate.

Hi Crystal, welcome to the forum; do jump in and join the fun -- show off your WIP, set up a gallery: we love to see everyone's work!

Margaret Sherry is great fun, isn't she? I've got some adorable kittens-in-mugs in my to do pile, waiting to be stitched for a set of coasters for a cat mad friend.

[sammy_v]

Hello, Christal, and welcome.

About posting a signature, it's Angel who is our computer angel in such matters she will probably be on at night. About posting pictures: you have to put your photo on some photosharing place, I use photobucket, and then copy and paste the image code in the forum post you are making. I hope it helps. Easier than it sounds.

Hi and welcome to the forum - good to have you with us!

As for your signature - open an account in a website (like photobucket, webshots etc) and import your picture. Copy the link and in THIS forum, go into your profile and 'edit signature' and click on 'Img' and enter that link. It will then put your picture in your signature.

Does that make sense?

Hi Crystal, your son shares the same birthday as my granddaughter! I know what you mean about your time at the moment being all about the cuddles, I can't wait to see my granddaughter again next weekend.

Welcome to the site by the way.
