Hi. I'm boring and you don't want to read this, and you probably aren't.

I'm 26. Married. Work a crappy job and don't make enough money to justify having spent 5 1/2 years in college. My free time is spent watching movies, sometimes TV, or crafting.

I knit, embroider, have the desire to sew (just haven't learned how), make collages, what I like to call "photography", cross-stitch. And then some other random craft things like painting or making ornaments, mosaics, nothing that's really a "category" or anything.

I don't like to knit clothing, I know after spending that much time on it, it won't fit. Right now I'm stuck with scarves as I'm making some Christmas gifts. It's really easy to find embroidery patterns since you can basically use any basic outline drawing, but my favorite are the designs from http://www.sublimestitching.com It's really hard to find cross stitch patterns that I like, but I've been able to find some funny ones here. Other than that I satisfy my cravings for cross stitch by making gifts for other people. I stitched a boring bird pattern for my mom, a really boring Precious Moments pattern for my Grandma because she collects them. The only time I could stand something slightly "countrycrafty" looking is with Christmas.

I love the x-stitch designs in that link because I have two black cats. (Many of the scenes on that site have occurred in my house - like Isis eating out of the trashcan.) Loki (the boy) is four. Isis (the girl) is 1 1/2. They are insane, like to attack each other to the ground to bite? no. To lick each other's heads. They must not know there's a simpler way about it. I mean, you want to kiss someone, you don't go tackling them right. Or maybe you do. Whatever works.
