Hello everyone,
I just recently started cross stitching, and I'm addicted to it! I'm still on my first project, but I do it every free minute that I have! It's such a stress reliever for me. I can't wait to meet you all and get some great tips, and ideas!

Hello Meagan!
So glad to have you on the forums, a huge welcome! I'm sure you'll find some really useful tips and ideas on here, even the oldbies are still getting new tips and ideas. It's really great having a place for likeminded people to share a hobby, and it's so much more than that too, so take a seat, grab a coffee (or something stronger if you like, we have our own pub

) and have fun.
Can't wait to see your work!

Just a bookmark. I know, it's very basic, but since I'm new to this I thought I'd try something simple! I've only been working on it for three days. And with a 16 month old, it's hard for me to find "me" time, to work on it. I've mostly been doing it at night before I go to bed. My husband says it's looking good, but we'll see!

Ooooh sweet. My first project was little too and took forever to stitch. A tiny bit here and there soon adds up though. ^_^

It's not just a bookmark, it's your first piece of needlework - it is going to be fantastic. Show us a piccy if you can.

That's a problem I never thought of. I wonder how many baby starvations have been caused by this forum! and by cross stitch.

no baby starvations around here....at least not until the little miss can rat me out about it anyway

There has been one moment where I was one here and she had brought a box of crackers to her brother to be opened and more ended up on the floor than in their mouths... lol
Welcome to the group Meagan! I hope you'll we'll be able to get a peek at your bookmark soon
