Encapsulated in joy:
Color brings me such joy and I find inspiration in nature's wonderous palette. From the striking hues of various North American birds to the delicate beauty of Mother Earth's plants and blooms. I'm in awe of how color can soar through the expansive sky or emerge from rich, fertile ground.
Journey from then:
My love for cross stitch began when I was a stay-at-home mom, creating special gifts for my children's teachers each spring. The process of designing and writing positive messages brought me joy.
Years later I returned to college and studied art and graphic design. I kept busy working in the field. After transitioning to a corporate career, I faced lingering stress that followed me into retirement.
To full hoop:
I realized I needed to make some changes and refocus on a more fulfilling life. The one constant that always brought me peace and joy was cross stitch. This was the moment I decided to create patterns for myself and to share them with others who need positivity in their lives. My journey has come full circle—or rather, full hoop!
Personal snippets:
I'm a proud mom of three amazing adult children and a grandma to three super sweet granddaughters. I share my home with Jasper, my spirited Chihuahua. Nature photography, cozy mysteries, creative writing, and the soothing sounds of American Indian flute music bring balance and joy to my busy life.
A heartfelt message to you:
My hope for you is that you take time to experience the peace and joy that cross stitch can bring. Just as it calms my nerves and soothes my worries, I believe it can do the same for you.
Be well. Be kind. Be a joyful cross stitcher.
