Another Introduction!

Hello everyone! I'm Jezebelle, Curly Girly, Jennifer, or Jen. :) I answer to all, and in fact, I chose my name here as Jennibelle, because that sort of sums them all up (except for the curly girly name which doesn't really fit well with anything but it's fitting). Ok, have I mentioned I like to ramble? Anyway, hello!

I met queenofsheba and thepooh through my radio show, and Kathy suggested that I join in, since I am a bit of a crafter myself. Except, the only talent I have so far is with cross-stitching, and you should see the amount of unfinished ones I have lying around! I think in the past 10 years, I've probably started about 20 projects, and have only completely finished (meaning: mounted and framed) three of them.

Here's one that I did for my friend Heather's wedding. It's relatively simple, but it's the only one I have a photo of online. I'm working on this immense one about cats at the moment, but so far I only have the "C" completed. Cross-stitching really attracts me because it's so soothing. I always do counted cross-stitch. There's nothing wrong with stamped cross-stitch, but I like the counting aspect. I blame the math teacher in me.


Actually, while I was looking for pictures of cross-stitch projects, I came across a picture of another craft project I completely blocked out of my memory. I made this little stuffed penguin one year as a christmas gift. He was a pain in the butt to make, and I hated his little hat, but I love this picture of him all propped up with my sister's cat Krusty. I probably posed him about ten different ways and took pictures, but this is my favorite one. :)



I am also a big fan of this picture, mostly for the look on my cat Sunshine's face. I guess she's not as thrilled about penguins as Krusty is. :)

That's it for now. I'll probably take pictures of my progress on some other projects (including yet another wedding cross-stitch). Thanks again for inviting me to the group!!

I assume stamped is where you just stitch over a pattern and counted is where you make things up on a blank sheet?

Also, fabulous freakout cat eyes.

Yeah, Kathy. That's what stamped is - there are little X's on the fabric & you just stitch over them. I agree, Jenn. I also much prefer counted to stamped.

Welcome!! I'm so glad you're here! The more the merrier I say!!
