Just wanted to introduce myself since I hope to be really active on this forum (hopefully) I rediscovered my love for stitching after figuring out that I can't watch a movie without doing something at the same time. I started when I was a kid living in Iceland since we had stitiching, knitting etc. in school. I'm in Dublin now and I've taken up stitching again and I love it!
After going through this forum I realised I've still got a lot to learn so I can't wait to see what everyone is doing!
Hello and welcome to the forum from South Carolina! Looking forward to seeing your work. What type of projects do you like to stitch?

I do just the same as you when sitting down. When with the family watching (or really listening to) the TV I have got to be doing something. 2hrs a night... that's 600 hours a year totally wasted if your hands aren't doing anything. I now sit down & reach for the cross stitch frame, and sometimes I can even pick it up before my lap is infested with a cat.
I envy you growing up in Iceland. I have had the pleasure of visiting once, in 1988, for 10 days at the end of June. Went on a camping safari in the south of the country with a small bus full of other lunatics. Absolutely unforgettable.
Yeah, growing up in Iceland was amazing! I really loved it there. Its such a unique place to visit as well.
Well I haven't done many projects. I got a yellow labrador kit back in England and gave it to my cousin since she has a lab. I'll put up a picture when I go and visit. I also love Disney characters and have tried making my own designs but I need to find a good computer program since I do them all on paper and it takes ages I'll check out the topic on programs on this forum and see what you guys think.
