Hi - just joined

Post by Virginia »

This is my first venture into forums and the cyber world so please excuse any of my mistakes. I've been plucking up the courage to join a forum and have decided to take a leap of faith and just do it. I've been cross stitching for more years than I care to think about - it all started at age 11 and 30 (something......cough cough mutter mumble) years later I'm still stitching away. :lol:

I live in St Helens in the North West (midway between Liverpool and Manchester) with my husband, Ian and my two babies.......... that would be Nessie the 7 years old rescued dog and Basil the 2 year old Jackahuahua (a chihuahua/jack russell cross).

I've stitched loads of pictures for family and friends as I appear to be running out of wall space at home!!

Look forward to hearing from you all.

Cheers - I hear the stitching calling me back!!

Hi and Welcome from me too.

Your "babies" sound great.

I've been house/dog sitting for DD & SIL - both dogs are Jack Russel crosses and quite a handful for a feline lover. However we all survived ok.
