I guess it is time for the somewhat obligatory answer to the question of "why a blog, and why now"? Admittedly, 4 months ago starting a blog wasn't even on my radar. I'm not the most social being, and even though I have a facebook account, I've only made one post of my own so far after almost a year.
I am an avid crafter, with my favorite craft being cross-stitch. I'd been on a bit of a hiatus from it while I got involved in card making, rubber stamping, and papercrafts through Stampin Up. Recently I started to feel the need to get back into cross-stitch. I pulled out my stitching supplies, found a couple patterns I wanted to work on, started to figure out what else I needed, etc. I also spent some time online searching for some cross-stitch related information. First thing was that I decided I needed a better storage system for my floss. I'm getting more into patterns that don't come in a kit. That way when I decide on a project, I can easily pull from my stash first, then go buy only the colors I didn't already have. So I spent hours mulling over my options and searching online for ideas on a storage system that would work best for me. I'll post later on what I finally came up with. I also came across a few good random pieces of information, as well as doing a fair amount of digging to find answers to specific questions I had. Some of the information wasn't easy to find, and a good portion of it came from blogs. That is when I started to get the notion that it was time to venture into beginning my own blog. I decided I might have some good ideas I wanted to share. And I don't have any local friends that share my love of crafts, so having an outlet to "talk" about my crafts seemed like a good thing to try.
