Hello

Post by Helby »

Hi everyone :D
I'm from Melbourne Australia and have been stitching for about a year. I've realized there is more to it than I originally thought and I'm really excited to learn more from stitchers will so much more experience.
I mostly stitch pictures of clouds that I convert into charts. I'm a bit of a cloud tragic. I've also just discovered buying charts over the Internet. Yes I'm only about ten years behind every one else when it comes to computers :roll:

Hi and welcome from me too. Don't worry about not keeping up with technology - I gave that up years ago and just hope SIL or DD can get me back online again. So far so good.

Its great to have you here. Where in Melbourne are you? I lived in Mooroolbark (nr Lilydale) for 5 years before moving up here to my lovely daughter' and son-in-law's home.

By the way we love seeing pictures of your work and we are alsovery good at helping you gain a lot of stash too. Just a hint.

Thanks for the welcome everyone.
I grew up in Boronia but now live on a farm near Emerald, so we were almost neighbours Sally! Would you be kind enough to send some rain down to Vic, the water tank here has never been so low!

I would love to send you some rain - getting rather tired of it. Sadly I don't have enough huff and puff any more. Hope you get your share soon. Often a hot summer is followed by a cold winter. :D

Welcome from Chicagoland, USA!!

Buying charts online is my very favorite thing to spend money on! I'm trying to talk myself out of four more Scarlet Quince purchases, which I definitely do NOT need after getting the four I currently have in my queue. But they are so pretty!!

And good luck on getting some precip--I'd love to send you the 7-10 inches of snow we are currently in the midst of receiving, after getting 5 inches last week. We're still getting over a year-long drought ourselves, so things can change!
